Actor
An actor can be represented by a classifier (rectangular) symbol. Both this form and the more commonly seen stick-person form have the same semantics. The rectangular form is sometimes used when representing a system actor but it can also be used to represent a human actor. When an actor has properties and these need to be displayed as part of a diagram the rectangular form can be used; the properties appear in a separate compartment.
