The actor,according to wikipedia
The word “actor” comes directly from the masculine Latin noun “actor”,from the verb “agere”,”to do,to drive,to pass time.Also,in Greek,”aktor”=”leader”.
An actor is a person who acts,or plays a role in a dramatic production.The term commonly reffers to someone working in movies,television,live theatre,or radio,and can occasionally denote a street entertainer.Besides playing dramatic roles,actors may also sing or dance or work only on radio or as a voice artist.
An actor usually plays a fictional character.In the case of a true story, an actor may play a real person.Occasionally,actors appear as themselves,as in John Malkovich’s performance in the film “Being John Malkovich”.
The first recorded case of an actor performing took place in 534 BC(probably on 23 November) when the Greek performer Thespis stepped on to the stage at Theatre Dionysus and became the first known person to speak words as a character in a play.
From then on,the “acting” history began;methods started developing,schools appeared,an entire industry started to be build on the grounds of this one “little” character,the actor.
