ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Actor

An actor is someone who pretends to be someone else in movies, TV shows, and plays. Just like how you might pretend to be a superhero or princess while playing with your friends, actors pretend to be different characters on a bigger stage. They use costumes, makeup, and props to transform themselves into someone else. Sometimes they make funny faces or say silly things to make people laugh, and other times they act out emotional scenes that might make you feel sad or happy. It's like watching a big game of make-believe!
