I actually debated about this very concept when I put the original post on the board :) I thought in just using the word actor I had deliberately left 'female actors' out of the equation so therefore used actress as well to show I had included everyone.
I suppose as almost all professions have a gender neutral term (e.g. police officer instead of policeman) we should assume the one word includes everyone.
Sorry if I offended and hope this post make sense! |

I know this might come off as annoying or whatever, but did you know the word "actress" is outdated, and people don't use it anymore - or at least they shouldn't.
It's traditionally used for women who CAN'T act, "tress" meaning lesser. Just call females actors, like you would men.
It probably doesn't seem like a big deal, but the feminists worked hard to stop gender stereotyping! |

| I agree. I would like to see the old credits reinstated where you easily tell who was a permanent character. Also, if I was actor/ actress I would like to see my name appear somewhere on the credits. |

| I like the opening credits but it is about time they got some new one and maybe have there names on the screen even though we know most of there names. |
