When actors are acting in films, can they see the camera, like in their peripheral vision?

No, they go camera blind...

They also don't hear the director shouting "Action" and "cut" either.

Of course. Doesn't it seem "suspicious" that actors NEVER look directly into the camera? They can look literally everywhere else but the camera so they sure as hell know where it is.

They do. They used to act with it in mind. But then that dude from Gone with the wind stopped doing that. And the rest have adopted his approach.

very much. the cam and lihgts are the biggest things in the room.

They might look to get cues from the director, is all I know

Yes, of course. It is directly in their line of sight.

Absolutely. Those things are huge.
