Answer 1

I'm not sure what you mean.

Acting has been around for untold centuries. It's always been a way to tell tales. Long before there was any form of written communication, tribal lore, myths and morality tales were expressed by members of the tribe "acting out" whatever needed to be expressed.

Later, after the advent of the written word, plays were developed. Acting developed even further into an art form combined with a method of communication, rather than almost strictly as a method of communication. Most people couldn't read, so theater allowed everyone access to plays - which again were expressions of morality plays, myths and whatever the playwright thought up (Oedipus Rex warned of the dangers of pride, Iliad and Oddyseus gave historically revised accounts of war).

Theater remained popular because - well, it's a nice medium. The actors' purpose was to impart what needed to be given to the audience. Instead of someone standing on a stage and reading the story, groups of people were combined to actually act out the story - far more riveting and compelling, don't you think?

Theater evolved over time - and eventually movies and television followed. Actors tell a story verbally the way someone simply reading a story while standing in front of hundreds of people can't. They express emotion. You don't have one person reading a dialogue between two different people (Imagine a mother reading "Cinderella" to her child - it's a wonderful bonding time, for sure, but even with the different voices used for all the different characters, it's still one person - when you *watch* actors portray characters in a story, you are more "into" what's going on - because you're not only listening to the story, you're actually *watching* the interaction among the characters).

In short, the purpose of an actor is to bring "life" to a story.
