Provided is an actuator including a substrate, a movable portion provided so as to be movable with respect to the substrate, at least three elastic bodies for supporting the movable portion to the substrate in a displaceable manner, a movable comb electrode supported by the movable portion and extending in a direction parallel to a surface of the substrate, and a fixed comb electrode supported by the substrate and extending in the direction parallel to the surface of the substrate in which the movable comb electrode and the fixed comb electrode are arranged so as to be alternately engaged with each other with a distance, and each of all of the elastic bodies has a long axis that forms an angle of more than 90° and 180° or less with respect to at least one of the other elastic bodies.
