What was my job description as an Actor?

My role as an actor was to provide entertainment and present a believable character in an imaginary yet believable siutation at that moment. To transport people to another world and help them escape the one in which they currently live in and present situations that affect people in everyday life and highlight how events can change people's lives, whether that be in a positive or negative way.

 

"Acting is behaving truthfully under imaginary circumstances."
