English kind of has traces of this in eg “I’m an actress/waitress/stewardess” (vs actor/waiter/steward) although gendered role-terms like those are less common and tend to get phased out in favor of gender-neutral ones (“server” replacing waiter/tress and “flight attendant” replacing steward/ess). And I wouldn’t consider it incorrect or out of place for a woman to say “I’m an actor”.
