I'm in a youtube video with 50,000+ views credited as "fight choreographer" and "bullet time specialist"
I acted in a play in my primary school. As my mother worked once in a theatre, which was just opposite of my school, I had a professional theatrical outfit, suiting (well, almost) the century the play was set in, although not quite the place. I remember after a play it was hard to get through the teachers (all female, as is normal in Poland), which wanted to hug me and stuff, because allegedly I looked very adorable
In my secondary school, I played the evil spider in a noble and sofisticated "The Trial of a Fly" play. My friends gave me a huge spider-web make-up, and I had a briliant "costume" made by myself and my family, which consisted of "arms" attached to my torso (well, my sweater) on one side, and to a thread attached to my hands on another. Therefore, when I was lifting my arm, I've had several arms lifting at the same time. I was very proud of that idea
The problem was that I just couldn't get the make-up off and had to return several miles to home with a make-up that would make a drag-queen pale in comparison. At first I was ashamed, but after a while it started being funny.
I've only had one line, which consisted of proposing a death sentence to the fly and offering myself as the executioner - devourer of the fly. Well, the audience was amused, so it was fine.
Another time audience was amused was when the actors were named. I wasn't originally supposed to play, but a female friend. But nobody corrected the list, so when dear Bogusia was named, there was a silence. I've decided to go out and do a curtsy anyway, as Bogusia. As I'm sort of girly, the audience thought it was a planned part of the play, I've heard.
My another secondary school play featured me in the main role of an intellectualist, mister Cogito. But it actually ment I just had to stroll around while others described what I was doing. This was a highly intellectual and patriotical play for the Day of Independance, but we managed to "offend the patriotical feelings" (as she's herself expressed it) of our tutor by the depiction of polish society in it. Once again I made the audience laugh, when I gave them a sarcastic look at some point.
The third play we've made, well, I didn't play in it. I was responsible for decorations, which was horrible, because half of the class didn't actually pay the needed money. Some people never paid me, actually. Never again.

Through my high school's Shakespeare Theater program, I've played Thurio (as an underboss in 1920s Illinois) in Two Gentlemen of Verona and Oliver (As a plantation owner in 19th century French West Indies) in As You Like It. I did pretty well.

I was the lead roll in a play in Fourth Grade. Good times, good times.

I'm the voice of the scream in Star Wars, and every other movie, if that counts as acting.

My first acting was in a religious play 
. It was performed by a protestant church in in Pennsylvania 
. The year was I dunno sometime in the early or mid 90s. I was like 7 
or some year near there. I can only barely remember the play 
. It was about living alphabet soup or cereal, 
, well fictional. A religious theme somehow. The cast was all little kids my age, possibly a few older people. Performed in the sanctuary room. I can't recall much and maybe never paid much attention in the first place. But it was religious and alpha cereal and silly 
and a cat ran across the room, well we all gotto hide 
, but fortuanatly if a cereal piece covers its face and can't see 
, neither can the cat 
. The cat was supposed to be a stuffed animal pulled on a string across the stage but was instead a stuffed animal carried by a person across the stage. I think. Happy ending it all was 
. Me and another cereal were in particular ok . Can't remember wether I was o or k. Strangly enough others kept calling for us only to later claim they didn't mean for us to to come over 
but I was feeling pretty proud to be among the the most physically active characters . Yes hardly any movement but the play had pretty low standards for action. We mostly stood still. Is cereal lazy I dunno 
. Even my partner o or k would forget to respond to 'OK' at times and I had to wave him over. Contrary to script but even funnier to the audience. Though when its little kids on stage its easy for anything to amuse 
a audience of friends and parents. I don't recall if the play was overall any good but probably not too good 
what with a cast of mostly untrained little kids 
. I was excited to be in a play and somewhat important and all but i was also a immature kid who really just wanted to play with army guys by his self 
or humourously tease his sister 
all day. I was easily bored by everything else 
. Also was quite undisiplined in some areas . My performance in the play reflected this kind of attitude. My performance was thus poor but i don't think anyone expected anything better. The play never required much from me though. I don't know if the play expected much of any body. Certainly the prop and costume requirements seemed low. Prop was a cereal box we sometimes moved behind and i remember a stuffed cat. Costume was a letter on a shirt. That was that play. A extremely minor acting moment and I mostly ignored acting for many years afterwards. To be any better I needed my brain and soul all that to mature and that seemed to take a longer than usual. Ironically enough my body finished growing rather early. Well I would not act again until 13. Tomorrow these theater matters become gradually better, mature and better remembered.

I was in a play when I was 6. I've been on TV (talent contest) when I was 8 or 9 and I've been interviewed a few times after that event around the same time. Nothing after because I never amounted to much.
I had two theatrical parts in Grade 1 (age 6, for those who don't have grades in your school systems).
Our class play was called "The Three Trees of Bethlehem" and I was very upset that I didn't get to play one of the trees. But I did get to be the announcer.
My second role that year was in the school Christmas concert; for some reason the music teacher decided it would be appropriate for all three Grade 1 classes to get together and put on a musical version of "The Three Little Pigs." I wanted to be in the choir, but the teacher evidently thought my talents lay in a different direction. I played part of the Brick House.

It seems most of our acting careers took off and crashed before we turned seven.
