Picking up an old thread:
Like John, I feel it is essential to understand as much about all parts of something as possible in order to better yourself in that field.
Personally, I am delighted that I have so much experience in acting now that I am writing. It has helped me to make motivation clear and dialogue natural. Now, my degree is in English, but the first 2 years I was in college, I was a theater (acting) major, so the two work remarkably well together.
As a writer who was an actor, I can better understand actors and their need for motivation and good dialogue. As an actor who is a writer, I can better understand writers and (hopefully) their intent.
