Happy Actor’s Day to all the veteran and contemporary actors of Iran and the world

We’ve all at some point had the desire to be an actor. Whether we had the courage to admit it and were suppressed, or if we weren’t suppressed, then maybe we had the opportunity for an exciting experience. Perhaps we pursued it, and it became our profession! Not everyone has the courage for this, but it remains a dream for some and will continue to be.

Is acting just a job? In a way, it’s like traveling to the world of different characters. Imagine, every time an actor accepts a role, they step into a new world, face different emotions, experiences, and stories, and must become someone else! The one you wish to accompany. Actor’s Day is a day to remember these extraordinary artists who, with every role, intertwine life and art and share a different life with us.

An actor immerses so deeply in the role they take on that when we watch their performance on stage or screen, we can’t distinguish who the actor is and who the character is. It’s like they step out of their own body and enter someone else’s. This is no less than magic or sleight of hand, and essentially, they become that character. When acting reaches its peak, there is no longer a boundary between real life and the imaginary world.

Acting or magic?

For us teenagers, acting might sometimes seem like a game; a game where you play a role and pretend to be someone else. But in reality, it’s much deeper than we think. Acting means understanding the emotions and experiences of people we may never encounter in real life. An actor has the power to take us with them into the heart of the stories, make us laugh, bring tears to our eyes, or even make us look at our own lives from a different perspective.

A good actor can show us a slice of real life with every role. Through every movement, every glance, every line, an actor tells us stories that we may never forget. This is where the art of acting becomes one with real life because the emotions an actor conveys to us are deeply etched in our hearts and minds.

Actors are the greatest artists in the world of media.

When we think of Actor’s Day, we must remember the great work these artists do. They show us how diverse and complex life is and how we can play different roles at any moment. Perhaps this day is a good opportunity to think about how we would have played that role if we were in the actor’s shoes. How would we have faced those emotions?

Acting is an art that portrays life and helps us better understand the world around us. So, on this special day, let’s pay our respects to all the actors who turn life into a deeper, more meaningful experience with their art. Actors are the ones who make art one with life, and that’s pretty amazing!

Conclusion:

In essence, actors remind us that the main stage of the game is our own life, and we must be good actors. We shouldn’t be fake or deceitful. We need to understand every situation well and play it well so that we can stand tall and proud before existence. We’ve experienced all the emotions that actors portray, but let’s remember that this magic can also be dark. We shouldn’t be trapped by it; instead, we should learn from it and perform our role well so that we are not replaced. All of this is for our spiritual growth, not just for entertainment or filling time.
