The term child actor is generally applied to a child acting in motion pictures or television, but also to an adult who began his or her acting career as a child; to avoid confusion the latter is also called a former child actor. Closely associated is teen actor, an actor who reached popularity as a teenager.

In some countries child actors in the performing arts – television, film or stage – are prohibited from doing certain things. In these countries a child actor may not

  • (1) risk his or her physical well being (no dangerous stunts),
  • (2) be exposed to morally compromising situations,
  • (3) be nude or partially nude,
  • (4) engage in overt sexual acts.

Compulsory education laws mandate that the education of child actor not be disrupted while the child is working. Whether a child actor is enrolled in public school, private school or home school, the child does schoolwork under the supervision of a set teacher while on the set.
