An actor, or actress is a female, is a profession in which an individual pretends to be another person for the sake of a play, television show, film or other piece of media. An actor is similar to a comedian, and sometimes the fields may intersect, but they are distinctly different careers. Likewise, clowns, at least in classical plays, often doubled as actors. An actor who does voice over is a voice actor.
