epiphany
actors spend a majority of their time trying to convince people that they are someone (or something) else. after pondering that sentence for a few moments, I have come to the following conclusion: actors are just incredibly good liars (or, at least, that’s what some of them strive to become).
agree? disagree? why?
Don’t really know if I’d call it lying so much as...

I totally agree. I don’t like any celeb show, news, talk show, magazine, etc. That’s one thing I don’t get with people – why they keep up or keep tabs on some celeb. I personally wouldn’t believe much of anything they said LOL. Some famous actors & singers are really nice, good people… then there are the others. hehe

As a writer, I resemble Utnzi’s remark.
Don’t really know if I’d call it lying so much as recall. Acting and writing require tapping into our reserves of emotion.
Of course, in our real lives we lie like rugs.

I definitely agree. Same is true for a lot of other professions, authors coming to mind immediately.
Much of what we find entertaining is essentially lying, alluding that something that never happened did in deed happen. Creating a mood or feeling that would not exist otherwise. To a degree even singing does this, but acting and writing fiction definitely are lying. Of course it is with our permission so that might make it okay…

My ex was an actor.
While I wouldn’t say he actively lied all the time–he was very good at pretending to be someone he was not and feeling things he did not.
That’s why he’s my ex.

i agree cause i see in most of all actors that play good side in movies r completely different in real life opposite for bad side people
so do not believe what u see on silver screen anout pesonality of any actor u had to deal with him in person then u can judge him, it is all up to u
