The process of doing plays will make you an actor.
Acting is a craft, and you need to study to be an actor.
Really, acting is like anything else. The more time you put in, the more you learn and the more you can give back to the industry.
Without wonder and insight, acting is just a trade. With it, it becomes creation.
It took me a few years to realize I might want to get into acting as a profession.
Acting was a slow-burn thing. I found it was something I really, really liked doing, but it wasn't until my third year at drama school that I actually thought, 'Oh, right, I'm trained for this now; I'd better see if I can do it.'
I got into acting as a young child on account of a sort of arbitrary thing. A friend of my mom's was a casting director, so really, as kind of a lark, I had a couple of acting jobs that had just enough exposure to give me the option to continue if I wanted to. I followed through with it.
Acting is a very personal process. It has to do with expressing your own personality, and discovering the character you're playing through your own experience - so we're all different.

Acting is just something I always knew I wanted to do - acting and writing.
