Morphology
The meaning 'an actor who performs in films' is directly and compositionally derived from 'movie' (film) + 'actor' (performer), so the overall sense follows straightforward noun–noun modification. This common, cross‑linguistic compounding pattern is predictable and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
The phrase movie actor comes from the early days of film, when movie meant 'moving pictures' and the people who appeared in them were called actors. So movie actor means 'an actor who performs in films'.
