In Shakespeare's time, acting relied more on the spoken word than on visuals and action. However, most Shakepearian actors were required to be able to act, dance, and usually have some musical ability or other talent.

What was the title of the first play Shakespeare was in?
It seems reasonable that Shakespeare's acting career started before his playwriting career, but that makes this question even more difficult to answer, since we have no record whatsoever of which plays, if any, Shakespeare performed in before 1592. The only plays which we now for sure that he played in were Jonson's Every Man in his Humour and Sejanus. We don't even know what part he played.
What was acting like in shakespeare time?
Unfortunately they did not have video cameras, film cameras, or even sound recording devices in Shakespeare's day so we have no record of what the actors may have sounded or looked like. One hint we have is Hamlet's speech called "The Advice to the Players" at the very beginning of Act 3 Scene 2 of Hamlet. On the assumption that Shakespeare put his own opinions in Hamlet's mouth, he uses this opportunity to slam hammy actors who wave their arms about ("do not saw the air too much with your hands, thus") who "strut and bellow", and scene-stealing clowns who ad lib to get a few extra laughs. His ideal of acting is expressed beautifully as follows: "For anything so o'erdone is from the purpose of playing, whose end, both at the first and now, is to hold the mirror up to nature." In other words, all actors, then and now, try to be natural. And bad acting then is the same as bad acting now.
What was Shakespeare's attitude?
This is a difficult question. It's very like asking about Shakespeare's personality, about which we know nothing. Did Shakespeare reveal his personal views in his plays? Certainly not. We cannot conclude that Shakespeare was a vampire because he has Hamlet say, "Now I could drink hot blood". The fact that Shakespeare was able to create such a broad variety of plausible characters does show that he had tolerance of and empathy for all kinds of different people.
Language people spoke in Shakespeare's time?

Who is the director of Shakespeare's in the park Othello?
The New York Shakespeare Festival, now called The Public Theater, calls its performances of Shakespeare in Central Park, "Shakespeare in the Park" although that name is used for outdoor Shakespeare productions around the world. NYSF put on Othello in 1964 with James Earl Jones in the title role. It would appear that Joseph Papp (the push behind the company) was the director, although the references are not clear.
