One of the most thoughtful questions is, what makes a person want to become an actor. It can be fame, money, imagination, love for acting, or a desire to stand out. Being on stage or in front of a camera is terrifying yet exciting for many people. Once a person experiences this feeling, they most often want more. Usually, these people love to be in a limelight. They love being noticed. love for this art makes a person act. Only a person who loves to act can understand it better. Performers and actors can do anything to make people laugh or to keep them entertained. Love for acting makes them who they are and it keeps them going. Faisal Qureshi makes it seem like it is a character in the actor’s shoes, not an actor in the character’s shoes. They have a high concentration that is not easy to break. Most become the characters even before the play. It is very difficult to become an actor.
