Are actors like professional liars?

[MementoMori777]

Technically all they are doing is being good at lying if you think of It, if you can fake something then that makes you a professional at being a lying ass mf, doesn't It? 🤔

I would assume the term acting is the nice way to put it and the only difference is they get paid for it and recorded, if they didn't get recorded and paid then wouldn't it be just lying your ass off? 😂

I've worked with lots of them. Mostly, they're insecure and yet they have big egos and tend to be 'troubled' at times. Some are fiercely dedicated. Others are on drugs, have 'issues' and are difficult.

Sorry don't mean to sound nasty, but lots of them are dumb when it comes to business and ought to just stay in their lane. But at the end of the day, movies need them badly and it is what it is.

But think about WHAT it takes to do this work. The desire underlying it all, "I want to be the most convincing liar on camera than 900,000 other actors," lol. They can pretend/lie better than most of us.

[MementoMori777]

I knew it, they can lie better 😣

[annabananna]

I know an actor that had to go to court as a witness and the other attorney made a whole speech on how he is paid to lie 😂

[MementoMori777]

I'm sayin, they are just lying and getting paid for It, another good one would be their whole life is a lie ha 🤣

[Meropatrick]

They r imitators not liars. They imitate a character. A liar usually does it to hurt and hide a truth and their intentions is to hide Something. Actors does none of that at least not on screen.

[MementoMori777]

So you are saying they can be better at lying if they tried?

[Meropatrick]

I mean that the skill of lying is different than the skill of impersonating a character. Some actors act they r in love on the screen and actually end up dating like brad Pitt and angelina. Impersonating is not like lying. If you can imitate a siren noise does that mean you are food at claiming this was actually a siren sound. Lying and imitating are different set of skills

*good

[NathanDavis]

no...

that would mean we're paying to get fooled

they're playing a role... and we're paying for entertainment

[MementoMori777]

So if they cheated for example, they wouldn't be better at fooling someone that they are being faithful if they are good at pretending? Lol

[NathanDavis]

the thing is... if they lie, they could look like they're acting, know what I mean?

most of the time, with most people... I do notice when they lie because I know how they tell the truth

would be similar with actors... it would be difficult not to look like they're trying to fool you

[MementoMori777]

Perhaps a normal person but don't you think an actor would be able to use everything they know to make it believable, it's not like they will play the innocent role, they will play the role of a cheater that's hiding it which knowing the person they are cheating on, they will know exactly how to fool You, after all they do know how they are around You, I don't know if I'm making sense here

[NathanDavis]

well, I actually know actors... lol

but I know them well, as the people they are and also as actors

if I didn't know someone in advance, then yeah... I guess they could be very convincing, and then I would have no idea if they're onto something or not... lol

[MementoMori777]

And you are positive they wouldn't be able to fool you if they tried, I mean when they act they know it's for entertainment purposes, what if their intentions were different? I think they can fool with the proper knowledge

[NathanDavis]

I'm sure many people have lied to me and I just didn't find out... lol

regular people too

[MementoMori777]

So imagine someone that knows how to act 😂

[BLP11520]

They are pretenders. Does that make them liars? I do not know

[MementoMori777]

Are they being themselves? 😂

[BLP11520]

No they are not

[VIVANT]

Yes, just like lawyers and politicians

[MementoMori777]

Lol.

[leahzrc]

that is exactly my thoughts

[MementoMori777]

Lol.

[exitseven]

Yes, that might be why most of them are democrats.

[MementoMori777]

I can never hide from these political terms lol

[Anonymous]

Like yeah, like totally they are.

[Miah05]

Lmao. 🤣
