As for your disagreement with my other point. Please tell me all of these celebrated musicians and painters that don't create their own work.

I just googled the "definition of art" and I will admit that I'm wrong in that art doesn't rely on "creating". So I will concede defeat but I will, at least personally, never hold actors up to the same regard as the people who write the stories or create the worlds that they are a part of.
I don't think you're alone on that at all.

That doesn't mean that the actors aren't artists. The animators, costume designers, etc, are all directors tools and artists as well.
