I think a lot of actors are ESTP or ESFP.
I would consider myself a good actor- with a strong Ne function.
Unfortunately, it leads some of those close to me to be somewhat distrustful of what I have to say because they often wonder 'is this what he thinks I want him to hear' or 'is this what he really thinks'.
Even though I'm an Introvert, I am a very good improviser. I am a quick thinker and if I have to speak extemporaneously, I am really good at it. I know of other Introverts who are good at this as well. If anything, I think that might be more of an Intuitive/Sensing difference than an Introversion/Extraversion difference.

Brad Pitt-ESTP
Angelina Jolie-ISFP
Kiefer Sutherland-ENTP
Ben Stiller-ENFP
