As an actor, talent and technique are undoubtedly important, but there are other aspects of professionalism that are often overlooked: good manners and staying humble.

Good manners are the foundation of building positive relationships with directors, fellow actors and crew members; humility is the ability for actors to accurately view their own talents and flaws while being void of arrogance.
