The general number of screen (movie, tv, and commerical) actors in the US is probably roughly around 120,000-130,000. This is based on membership of SAG and AFTRA (now the combined SAG-AFTRA). Now, some people act who are not in the unions, but all actors who are serious about working as actors for a living (or even part of a living) are in the union.

The exact number of actors in the United States is not known, but the number of people working as either an actor, director, or producer is around 155,100. The unemployment rate for these professions is 4.2 percent.
There are like thousands of actors and actresses. I don't really know how much but there are a lot of actors and actresses in the world.
More than there should be. So much bad acting out there, the less competition the better is the way I see it.
Celebrity is a broad term. you could say 'actors' or 'singers' or whatev. but celebrities could include radio hosts that people like to Will Smith.
