There are no eligibility restrictions; you don't need a union card or a list of credits.
.actor was launched by United TLD Holdco, Rightside's registry arm. It joined Identity Digital (formerly Donuts) when Donuts bought Rightside, and in 2021 it moved to Donuts' Dog Beach entity. If you're picking a stage name, check that another performer isn't already well known by it.
