The actor and doctor 指的是同一个人
The actor and the doctor 指的是两个人
第一个指同一个人,第二个指老师和演员,是这样吗?
同意曹老师的解答。我也作点两点补充:
1.用or连接两个不同职业的名词时,第二个名词可省略冠词。
A medical examination without a doctor or nurse in the room?(84版(高中英语第一册)LESSON 2 AT HOME IN THE FUTURE)
2. 在指两个人时,若一个名词与另一个具有相反意义的名词并列,还可用零冠词。
Are they husband and wife? 他们是夫妻吗?《柯林斯高阶英汉双解词典》
She spent the post-war years of her marriage trying to reunite father and son.在战后几年的婚姻生活中,她千方百计想让父子团聚。《柯林斯高阶英汉双解词典》

下面补充两点:
1. The king and queen had fled. 国王和王后都逃之夭夭了。(《collins双解词典》)
queen前面省掉了the;所以The king and queen指两个人
2. 不同名词指同一事物时, 后一名词之前一般不用the, 但为了强调, 亦可用the,如:
He was the actor and the statesman of his age.他是当时的演员和政
治家。( the actor and the statesman指同一个人, statesman前用the是为了强调)
