plus) is passion the most important trait for actors ?

you have to be receptive and "directable"..
but i've seen that the ones who really make it are the ones who have an insane belief that they ARE good enough and they WILL make it.. i almost wanna call it arrogance, but it's not. it's just the belief that drives you to keep going when things get tough.

you have to be as fake and obnoxious as possible.

enthusiasm, is tht how u spell that?

You must be resilient. Rejection is an inherent trait of the world of professional acting.

A good memory is vital, after all there are always lots of lines and blocking to memorize.

Imagination might be the most important trait for an actor to have. It's the imagination which allows an actor to get into character. He must imagine how the character feels, reacts, looks and sounds in order to portray him well.

The ability to listen and take direction!
Although that kinda falls under passion. Only the truly passionate (or incredibly lucky) can get anywhere in acting.

A Broadway actess once told me prayer, perseverance, and talent.

When casting, I would choose talent, skill, and ability to take direction (and ability to sit around a lot without complaining), over passion.

Don't be a bother. Which you are being with all the questions about passion. Go read a book and leave us alone.
