# Actor An `Actor` models a legal entity. A legal entity is an individual, company, or organization that has legal rights and obligations. The use of `Actors` is optional, and is not necessary to use OpenTripModel. Actors can be used e.g. to group all locations that belong to an organisation, or to address an OpenTripModel message to a specific person or organisation. ## Get a specific Actor by its UUID - [GET /api/v5/actors/{UUID}](https://otm-api-spec.redocly.app/api/5.7/otm/actor/paths/~1api~1v5~1actors~1%7Buuid%7D/get.md) ## Deletes a Actor - [DELETE /api/v5/actors/{UUID}](https://otm-api-spec.redocly.app/api/5.7/otm/actor/paths/~1api~1v5~1actors~1%7Buuid%7D/delete.md) ## Adds a new Actor - [PUT /api/v5/actors](https://otm-api-spec.redocly.app/api/5.7/otm/actor/paths/~1api~1v5~1actors/put.md)
