Actors entertain and communicate with people through their interpretation of dramatic roles.
They rely on facial and verbal expression as well as body motion for creative effect. Making a character come to life before an audience is a job that has great psychic rewards. Acting requires persistence, practice and hard work as well as a special talent. Only a few actors and actresses achieve recognition as stars on the stage, in motion pictures or on television. Others may be employed by theater companies and teach acting courses to the public.
