Mwigizaji

Mwigizaji ni mtu anayeigiza, au anapewa kijisehemu cha kuigiza katika filamu, tamthiliya, vipindi vya televisheni, mchezo, au mchezo wa redio. 

Muigizaji ni mtu anayeonyesha tabia fulani katika utendaji. Kuna kipindi waigizaji huimba na kucheza. Muigizaji hufanya maigizo katika ukumbi wa michezo, au katika kumbi ya kisasa kama filamu, redio na televisheni.This is true whether the character than an actor plays is based on a real person or a fictional one, even themselves (when the actor is 'playing themselves,' as in some forms of experimental performance art, or, more commonly, as in John Malkovich's performance in the film Being John Malkovich); to act is to create a character in performance: "The dramatic world can be extended to include the 'author', the 'audience' and even the 'theatre'; but these remain 'possible' surrogates, not the 'actual' referents as such" (Elam 1980, 110).dictionary.com actor retrieved 13 Novemba 2007

Mwigizaji jukumu lake ni kuelimisha jamii na kuburudisha, iwe kwa misingi ya mtu halisi au tabia ya uongo. Ufafanuzi hutokea hata wakati muigizaji "anacheza mwenyewe", kama katika aina fulani za sanaa ya utendaji wa majaribio, au kwa kawaida. Kutenda, ni kujenga, tabia katika utendaji.

 Historia 
Katika jamii nyingine, wanaume pekee ndio waigizaji, na majukumu ya wanawake kwa kawaida yalikuwa kucheza na wanaume au wavulana.
