I’ve noticed a couple of times now they’ve said “They’re an amazing actor” not actress when referring to a female? Is the term actress not really used anymore?

Not so much, it’s fallen out of favour in the sense that terms like ‘authoress’, ‘lady doctor’ have, as it implies that the male is the default in the profession then there’s a ‘subcategory’ of women in those roles with a different job title.
