Why is it masculine?
Acteur is masculine in French because it derives from the Latin "actor" (masculine noun meaning "doer" or "performer"), which retained its grammatical gender through Old French into modern French. Latin's grammatical gender system assigned masculine gender to agent nouns ending in "-tor," a pattern that persisted even as French developed the feminine form "actrice" by adding the feminine suffix "-ice."
