How important do you think it is to study acting (i.e. be an acting/theatre/drama/performing arts major) in college to be a good, skillful, and successful (not in terms of becoming some major motion picture star, but in terms of knowing your craft) actor?

not really that much in terms of becoming a "star" like you stated. however, it can help cultivate your talent adn possibly lnad you on broadway much easier than what it takes to be a "star." most of the tv stars and movie stars could not do plays and even get past the first round of broadway casting (ex. Vin Diesel, Ice Cube, Paris Hilton, etc.).

Not really, but there are a lot of good acting classes you can take. Most college courses are run by teachers who never were anybody. Id suggest something like the second city or just go to you local union office and check the trade papers. Some training is definitely a plus. The main advice is to network though, the more people you know the better odds you have.

Ok, here's thew scoop... If you plan to become an actor or actress. Any schooling you can get is a plus. Different people in you life will teach you many different skills of acting. It takes allot of skill to be good actor. You will remember one thing from everyone who ever teaches you acting skills. Each teacher will leave their mark on your abilities. So rememeber, take any class you can and learn as much as you can. Even the best actors and actresses of today still go to classes an take skill builders to learn better skills and go to the next level in their careers.

It is about as important as it would be for me to watch paint dry while standing outside naked in a thunder-storm
