The actors did not belong to Shakespeare, who was not even the leader of his theatrical company, so they were not really "Shakespeare's actors." You might call them Burbage's actors, maybe. Anyway, yes, some of the actors in the company were quite young. The company hired young boys as apprentices to learn the trade, and before their voices broke, they played the parts of young women who had high voices.
