An actor communicates a character or situations to an audience through speech, body language and movement. This usually involves interpreting the work of a writer under the instruction and support of a director, although some work may require the actor to devise a character or improvise the reactions of a character to a situation.Work varies enormously, from live stage performances of the classics and community theatre, to soap operas, radio work, television advertising and film parts.As well as providing entertainment, an actor's role may also involve education, training or therapy.
