Maybe, but nothing like what is required to write, compose, paint. These are the true artists. These are the true creators. Without scripts to read and songs to sing, Bing would be selling shoes. But hey, if being one of the dwindling handful of the now dead drunken child abuser's fanboys gets you through the day, go for it.
Idiotic
You are attempting, however inartfully, to quantify the value of the so-called "performing arts" versus the "creative arts." I am an architectural designer, who also draws and sculpts on the side -so I presume to speak with some authority on this issue. I am also a conservative heterosexual male -which makes me something of a rare bird in my field -but that's a different story.
The question of "what is art?" is something that has thus far never been successfully answered, and is best left to philosophers. For example, I still believe the sight of Barry Sanders running with the football was its own art form. I will say this on this issue: While there is no shortage of bad singers and bad actors, great singing or great acting takes talent and training, as do the creative arts. A great actor (the best I was ever lucky enough to see was Alec Guinness -on Broadway, not in a space ship) can take a script and play bring forth thoughts and emotions that weren't there). It is important to realize that the performing arts are, for the most part, collaborative pieces. Sort of like architectural design, come to think of it. And, as a capitalist, I will point out that in today's culture, the performing arts are, by far, the disciplines of greatest financial reward.
