My advice to young actors is probably to do some theatre; definitely do that. I keep running into these actors who have never been on stage, and it's invaluable for an actor. What you will learn about yourself is huge.

Yul Vazquez

Learn your lines… plant your feet… look the other actor in the eye… say the words… mean them.

James Cagney

This is it for a winner, Dance to this and you're gonna get thinner, Move slide your rump, Just for a minute let's all do the bump, Bump, bump, bump yeah.

MC Hammer

In film, other actors' performances really are not your concern. If the other actor isn't giving you what you want, act as though he were.

Michael Caine

Back in the day, rappers were 'bump bump bump ba bump ba bump.' They was rhyming like that, but I was like, 'bababa bump bump babum ba babump bababa bump.'

Rakim

I've worked on shows where the lead actor doesn't know their lines, doesn't care, and it affects everybody - the crew, the director, the other actors. It's definitely a responsibility.

Tatiana Maslany

If possible, try to find a way to come downstairs that doesn't involve going bump, bump, bump, on the back of your head.

A. A. Milne

Practice your improv more than learn your lines. 'Cause there's no way you'll be able to learn all those lines in a short time. You have to realize what you know and what you don't know - and what you don't know, just come up with three alternate lines or improv that you can put in that spot.

Anthony Mackie

In my experience of doing physical scenes, half of your energy is spent on trying to get the other actor to enter into it physically with you. Most actors don't want to hurt each other.

Daniel Radcliffe

As an actor, there is always an opportunity to learn from the other actors you work with.

KaDee Strickland

Know your lines and don't bump into the furniture.

Spencer Tracy

Don't just learn one thing; learn everything about whatever you're going into. If you want to be an actor, if you want to be on Broadway, hang lights, sweep floors, sell tickets, be an usher, do everything that you can because that's where you learn your character and your craft.

Lucas Grabeel

You want a place where you can say that this is your show that you invested in with other actors, but there's also that flexibility of being a recurring actor.

Gbenga Akinnagbe

An actor is supposed to emulate life. Instead, alas, many are imitating other actors. You don't fashion your knowledge of theatre or your approach to a role on the basis of what other actors have done. This kind of thinking is a great danger, especially in dealing with TV producers who frequently say things like, 'This is a Sean Connery type.'

Theodore Bikel

I've got plenty of advice from a number of other actors. Me? I don't give advice.

Kevin Dillon

I find I'm most challenged by things I really care about, because I really want to do them well. It causes quite a bit of anxiety. But that very thing you're afraid of is kind of like a blessing in disguise. If you didn't have that fear, you wouldn't have the other side - courage and bravery, positive emotions.As an actor, you get used to those fears, and you're almost happy when they show up. It makes you learn your lines and prepare.

Jeff Bridges
