Summary/Abstract: The Actor, as a national artistic value, is considered in public awareness as a “patrimony common good”. Louis Lavelle (1950) and A. Moles (1974) are the first researchers bringing contributions to the analysis of dichotomous economic and artistic area. The contemporary societal contradiction is debated around the economic and artistic thematic, between the actor as a creative resource and the actor as a human resource. The artist, by definition is an independent creator; therefore the social system always requires quantitative evaluation, and not a qualitative one. The Arts management is helpless in the struggle for hierarchy and detection of some objective indicators to measure artistic values. The actor’s sources of creativity are still a mystery, and therefore impossible to standardize in the working processes. The only concrete step is to be found solely at the end of an artistic career, when society "agrees" with the recognition through an official status of the artist: that of a corporate of theater.
