Dear friends, please, correct my text. Part 2.
The other important thing is communication skills of the actor. Actor doesn’t work alone. Somebody writes the words he is pronouncing, somebody is playing right behind him and so on. Actor must be initiative but at the same time, he must obey. Conflicts are very common in a creative process, so it is very useful for actor to have highly developed communication skills.
• Do you consider yourself as a team player? Why do you think so? What is a teamwork in acting means to you? / or What personally you can do to inspire your colleagues or to make your team work better?
• Please, tell us about your last project.
• What is better: trying to avoid the conflict at all or arguing from time to time?
By the way, communication skills include not only being able to tell right things but also being able to listen well.
• Ask your candidate to describe the way the director should help the actor to get used to the part.
• Or just ask him to express his impression of the interview: it will show his attention and interest.
Flexibility - is the soft skill we must not forget to check. “Relax, take it easy” must be the anthem of acting dude. The concept of project can be changed several times, the lines can be replaced. The actor must be prepared to face all these inconveniences with the smile on his face.
• Tell us about your failure. What had this situation taught you?
• Are you risky person? Why do you think so?
• Can you tell us the most useful critics you’ve ever received?
I would also like to mention honesty (or loyalty). Actors are very ambitious and often they work really a lot trying to cover as much projects as possible. Also they combine work with training, so It’s very important not to lose the connection with the actor when he’s hiding other jobs or trying to work with your competitor, for example.
• What is your biggest fear about our project?
• Can I appeal to your recent employer and have a little talk with him?
• What is professional betrayal for you?

The concept of the project can be changed several times, the lines can be replaced. "the" inserted.
inconveniences with a smile on his face. "the" --> "a" - any smile will do. "the": not incorrect, but very unlikely.
Tell us about a failure for yours. <-- changed, one, any one.
A risky person would probably mean someone that you would not trust. Otyherwsie try ...Are you risk taker? Are you a person who takes risks?
A critic is generally a person.

Use of "cover" not obvious to me. I guess this direction,
Actors are very ambitious and often work really hard trying to take part in as many projects as possible.
"they" deleted, not required. "a lot" --> "work hard" many countable (eg projects), much uncountable (eg sand)

"appeal" - intention not obvious "recent" not obvious"
