Id say they are artists, its not like you need brains to be an actor, so, yup, it fits!

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Toronto, ON | | | after acting quite a bit in high school and seeing loads of live theatre (albeit university level) I've never really been sufficiently moved or challenged by any performance that I've seen... good actors are extremely rare in my eyes... aside from those diamonds in the rough, I sort of consider actors the Sid Viciouses of the art world...
Not claiming to be something wonderful and great here myself, just adding my two cents... let's make that abundantly clear.

The actor does not write the lines, but he or she must deliver them so that we truly believe them. So that we are caught in each moment of the story, and it becomes real for us, for a time. That's artistry. You can have a great writer and a great director, but without the art of the actors, the others' work is for nothing. They cannot convey their ideas without the actor's ability to portray them so that they live in our hearts and minds.
I've done theatre. Its more than just memorizing lines and delivering them, and making your blocking marks. Part of yourself must go into the part...you must suspend your "self" in the "self" of the character. Its art. I know it for certain.
