I started this thread and used the word actor because it does refer to both men and women, has for a while now.
Then you're wrong too! Actors and actresses are not the same. Actors are men, and actresses are women. Everybody should know that. You don't refer: Dustin Hoffman, Al Pacino, Harrison Ford, Brad Pitt, etc as actresses! They're actors. And if you don't believe me, do your research.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actor

The word actor refers to a person who acts regardless of gender

Now now, being so called wrong can be damaging to the ego, but you'll be ok, you're stronger than that.

You've skipped the part where it states "actresses for female".

I'm not sure I'd say I like her but credit where credit is due: Julie Newmar might be my second favorite Catwoman now.

And you skipped the 'sometimes' immediately in front of 'actress for female'.

That's some pretty selective editing, no?

I'll say Anne Hathaway. I just find her repugnant.

LOL. I wouldn't go as far as saying Anne Hathaway is repugnant, but there's something about her looks that I don't like. I recently saw Zero Dark Thirty and my gosh, I cannot be more annoyed by Jessica Chastain.

So although there is no one I would *refuse* to watch, the following actors are the ones I'd rather avoid.

Jessica Chastain
Anne Hathaway
Leslie Mann
Gwyneth Paltrow
Sean Penn
Will Smith
Jaden Smith

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:

Quote:
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.
