Yes and a lot harder as well.
Mo-cap actors have to do their acting alone, imagining the environment they're in and who/what they are acting against. But you don't have to spend hours in dressing and make-up and waiting for everyone to get into place, so I guess it evens out :)
It's no different from voice actors! It's acting.
Are animators actors? I think so.
I guess it also depends on the content. Are running animations considered acting?
For example the movements of Prince of Persia
Mo-cap equivalent of a cut-scene is definitely acting.
Yet who is the actor in the above? The animator drawing all the movements or the player choreographing the fight or both.
Does playing a game count as acting? ;)
