Actors You Refuse to Watch.

Why does it matter in the end, that he wasn't specific? Calm down, there's no reason to argue over something so petty.

Also, from Dictionary.com:

Actor:
Noun
1) A person whose profession is acting on the stage, in movies, or on television.
2) A person who behaves in a way that is not genuine.

There's nothing gender specific about it. It just says a person. Not man or a woman, a person. So you can use the word to mean men and women, if you so choose, as the OP did.
