What do you think is the best way to showcase an actor's brilliance in a Music Video ? Would you make a compilation of his best acting moments, or would you include some interviews of (or about) him as well ? If you have other ideas I'd love to hear them too. I have never made a video like this so any help is appreciated.

I am not really a movie music video. It depends on a what of music video you are going for. I am assuming you are going for actor showcase (if you are not feel free to tell me). I am What I think is good way to showcase. I think it would to show how other actors were influenced by the actor and/or show what actor does that is unique. I think your own thoughts as notes and interviews talking him would work to.
If this helps, here is one of my favorite actor centric MMVs

As with any kind of video, there's really no wrong way to do it. There's no reason why you shouldn't include interviews and stuff like that. It all depends on how you incorporate it in with the rest of the video.
The best advice I can give is to think of the video as an argument you're making. And the best way to formulate a convincing argument is to be sure you know your subject as intimately as possible. So, if the argument you want to make is "this is why so-and-so is a brilliant actor" the first thing you need to do is dig into his career. See as many of his films/tv shows as possible. If you think he's got great emotional range as an actor, you'd obviously want to have a wide variety of scenes where he's displaying different emotions. If you think he's great at accents you want to find all the right sound bytes of him speaking in different voices. If you wanna dig a little deeper, maybe study his quirks, tics, little gestures that he tends to do in every performance, and try to incorporate them into the video in a clever way.

Okay guys I'm done with the first part of my video, but comes the much harder part, the highlights of her acting skills. Do you have recommendations on what songs I can use because I'm stuck... I can't find anything that I think fits.

It might help to know who the actor in question is. Kind of hard to recommend a song if you don't even know the subject of the video.

There’s no hard and fast rules for anything. It’s an art. And if you’re the one editing, you’re the artist. So do what you think is best. It’s good to get advice, particularity when you’re first starting out. But if you’re relying on others to tell you exactly what to do in every aspect of your video, are you still really the artist? Take some risks and put together something your proud of, and then listen to the feedback from it and adjust accordingly.
