In English we have a few gendered professions (waiter/waitress, actor/actress) and I feel like most people.lean towards the "male" term as the general term as well. In general it's fine to call anyone an actor or a waiter but it would be weird to call a male actor an actress.
Actress seems to have fallen out of fashion, at least in personal experience.
Ngram only somewhat confirms:
Have you watched Drag Race? Many actresses on this show.
"actrice" is one the few in dutch where it does still seem to matter to use the female version! Calling a female actress the male "acteur" would weird out a room i think. But if it's a group of both male and female people, and you use the general "acteurs" it would be fine i think and "actrices en acteurs" would be fine too. While in german, only the "schauspielerinnen und schauspieler" of "schauspieler*innen" would be okay and just saying "schauspieler" to a mixed group would be very frowned upon.
I get the idea, i hate the implementation. I think it would be easier for everyone to just cancel one word and call everyone the same, instead of doubling down on everything, it's doable in writing, but it's a real hassle in talking.
