Your dream to be an actor should not ignore that there are many actors who are away from practicing religion and involved in sinful acts. You should keep yourself now and always away from sinful acts and away from sinners. Good Muslims must practice and perform all the obligatory acts and keep himself away from all types of sinful acts.

Wassalam.

there is no problem for Muslim girls to practice sports in a healthy and halal environment, and actually some physical activities are encouraged by Islam provided that women do not expose themselves to non-mahrams in un-Islamic way. Unfortunately nowadays many "sports" lost their original spirit and became synonymous of "shows" and a justification for promiscuous activities. That is something definitely haram that Islam disapproves of.

Islamic groups, communities and institutions should encourage and promote sports in segregated environments, where possibly Jama'ah Prayers are also arranged in their due timings, to develop both spiritual and physical well-being.  

With prayers for your success.

Woman . Halal . Employment . Acting
As a male actor I work in family dramas that have no indecency but I do have to work with women who are not Mehram and sometimes touch their hands as required for the roles. Is the income I earn from this work halal?

Touching non Mahram women is not allowed at all unless there is a medical necessity or life saving emergency, which does not apply in film industry at all.

Any income from unlawful act is also unlawful.
