Explanation
An actor is someone who plays a role in a movie, play, or television show. They pretend to be different people to tell a story. Actors use their voice, face, and body to show feelings and actions. Both men and women can be called actors, though “actress” is sometimes used just for women. Acting is their job, and they often practice many times before performing.
