Best Answer

Shakespeare was a part owner in two theatres, the Globe, which was a large Theatre open to the elements, and the Blackfriars which was a small indoor theatre. The Blackfriars was called that after the district in London where it was situated. Nobody knows where they got the name The Globe; it could have been Shakespeare's invention or that of one of his partners.

Shakespeare didn't have any actors. He did not hire them. He did not own them. He probably didn't direct them. He was one of them.

If you mean "What did Shakespeare call his fellow actors" he called them Dick and Will and Jack and Harry, depending on what their names were.

If you mean "What were actors called in Shakespeare's day", they were called players.
