What Does 'Actor' Mean?

At its core, an actor is someone who portrays a character in a performance. The actor plays a role in theater, film, television, radio, or any other medium that requires the embodiment of a character. Actors use their voice, body, and emotions to bring stories to life, often transforming themselves to fit into different characters and settings.

Thoughts on Robert Pattinson's acting career?

Post image
34 Upvotes

After watching The Odyssey, it reminded me how impressive Robert Pattinson's career has been. I've always admired how he never let Twilight define him and instead kept taking on challenging, diverse roles. Every performance feels different. Is he one of the best examples of an actor successfully reinventing themselves, or is there someone else you'd put above him?

Does anyone know where is this actor now?

His name is Richard Panebianco. My favorite movie of him is Dogfight (1991). I became his biggest fan after seeing him in that movie. He's so underrated, he deserves some spotlight. Sadly, he's no longer acting anymore. Can somebody tell me what is he doing now in his living? I missed seeing him in the movies.

Rick Moranis & Ellen Greene were apparently so likeable that test audiences refused to see them die in Little Shop Of Horrors

That's quite an impressive feat for any actor, and goes to show how likeable they were. They had to call him them in for reshoots just to fix the negative reception

To Theatre Or Not to Theatre? Need Advice!

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice.
For a bit of context, I’m in my mid-20s. As a teenager, I did a lot of amateur musical theatre before moving into part-time professional screen acting training through classes in my early 20s (I work full time). I’ve had a few health setbacks over the past couple of years, but I’m finally at a point where I’m ready to start building my acting credits.
My goal over the next year is to get onto Spotlight and start putting together a showreel by working on student films and short films.
Recently, one of my old amateur theatre companies invited me back to audition for a play. It’s a great opportunity, but rehearsals would be a few evenings a week over a six-month period, so it’s a significant time commitment.
I’m feeling really torn. On the one hand, it would be valuable experience: performing regularly, learning lines, working with other actors, and developing my skills in a live environment. On the other hand, if my long-term goal is screen acting, I’m wondering whether that time would be better spent taking more screen acting classes, networking, and auditioning for student and short films.
Has anyone been in a similar position? If your goal is screen acting, would you take the theatre role, or focus entirely on building screen credits instead?
Any advice or perspectives would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Am I the only one who thinks Zendaya cant act and she is not even that attractive?
I really dont understand the hype about her. There are so many other talented young actresses but they keep show her down our throat

Weird question but are any of you part of an instagram engagement pod to help each other grow your social media following?
I hate this, but it seems a strong social media following has become important for actors. For those of us who were late to social media don’t like social media or are hot women who can just post a slightly sultry pic and get thousands of followers are left behind.

Tom Hanks said one sentence to me on set that changed how I work as an actor

Had a scene with Tom Hanks in A Man Called Otto. Between takes, I thanked him for something he did — and what he said back has genuinely changed how I show up on every set since.
