(noun) An actor or actress; someone who performs on stage or in dramatic works.
Even as a child, Maya showed thespian talent, turning every living-room corner into her own private stage.
Thespian comes from Thespis, a Greek performer from the 6th century BCE who is often credited as the first actor in theatrical history. Before him, performances were sung or spoken collectively, but Thespis introduced the idea of stepping out from the chorus to speak as an individual character — a shift that shaped all of Western drama.
