Acting is a craft that—when all is said and done—no Actor must train for to be successful at it. But as mentioned, many Actors do indeed seek out some type of formal training be it college, acting school, or another program to develop their skills. The educational options for Actors have come a long way in the last 100 years. Once upon a time, an Actor simply got on stage or in front of the camera and started acting. Now there are many prestigious institutions that can help an Actor prepare for those roles. The Juilliard School, The Actors Studio, and the American Conservancy Theater are some prestigious examples among the many acting schools and programs across the United States.
