An actor’s main aim is to play a character convincingly to engage viewers and make them believe the story they are telling. For a production to be successful, it must attract and keep viewers; actors have an essential role in this success. An actor also wants to become well-known to ensure they receive continued acting roles. An actor will carry out many tasks, including liaising with an agent, preparing for and going to auditions, researching roles, learning lines, rehearsing, attending costume fittings, performing, supporting backstage activities, etc. The job may also include recordkeeping for self-employment purposes.
