The first person to separate himself from the chorus and give himself individual lines in Western theatre is often considered to be Thespis, an ancient Greek playwright and actor. He is credited with introducing the concept of an individual actor performing dialogues, distinct from the choral group, during performances in the 6th century BCE. This innovation is regarded as a foundational moment in the development of drama and theatre. Thespis is also the origin of the term "thespian," which refers to actors.

The firt actor ever is believed by many to be Thespis of Icaria, Ancient Greece.
Thespis.
Thespis was a Greek who is remembered by history as the first actor on record. Prior to Thespis' acting, Greek theatre featured a chorus of people who functioned as their own character. Greek theatre featured no single actors with individual lines. Thespis is remembered as the first man to emerge from the chorus and speak a line of dialogue himself, thus becoming the first true actor. His name is also the root of the word "thespian," meaning actor.
According to Aristotle, Thespis of Icaria was the first person ever to appear on stage as an actor playing a character in a play (instead of speaking as him or herself). In other sources, he is said to have introduced the first principal actor in addition to the chorus.
