Summary/Abstract: Starting from the word “luck”, the article shows the multiple meanings of the term and tries to find possible answers to the question: what exactly does “being lucky” mean? The analysis proposes ideas and answers on how the actor could influence his own luck and shows how bad luck can be changed into good luck. The article proposes a science-based reconsideration of the idea of luck.The fact that intuition exists has been scientifically proven, and the article proposes the idea that the actor might have an advantage in influencing his luck because he has at his disposal a tool trained for years in working for the stage: his own intuition. The research uses references from philosophy, psychology, films, TV series, examples of Hollywood actors considered lucky, and analysis of Chekhovian lines on luck. In conclusion, the research leads to the idea that the actor’s actions to generate his own luck could be based on the actor’s courage to listen to his intuition.
