Abstract	It is generally assumed that visible actors in the performing arts industry maintain overall wellness despite the knowledge that an actor's life is often characterized by instability. While an actor's performance is often critiqued subjectively and critically, the variety of occupational risks associated with an actor's well-being is less closely examined. Prior research suggests those working within the acting profession experience significant levels of distress. As a result, this article, first, aims to address the issues confronting the actor, in particular, anxiety associated with erratic employment, vulnerability to adverse working conditions, and conflict in identity owing to the impact of acting coupled with the effect of economic insecurity. Second, the paper follows with a consideration of key counselling theories to help strengthen this diverse group's personal well-being and career prospects. By examining counselling interventions, the application of these theories can allow actors to develop optimally in acting industries worldwide. (As Provided).
