Acting is a craft.  It is a gift. 
It is an opportunity to make the world feel, react, wonder.  The key to  being an actor is known only to oneself. 
There are tools to achieve and become better, insightful, creative.  I am an actor and to be an actor I must act .... I become the character and let the audience feel.
 
Life is short. 
If you are truly an actor you already know.  Now become a better actor.  Show the world who you are.  Don't let the world stop you!
