Yeah I suppose artisan is the closest thing. Though I think of artisanry as an aspirational tendency inherent to competition itself, which spans all classes, even if historically it may have once formed a class.

A commodity owner who is new to the market is happy if their commodity is validated (through sale) as identical and exemplary of that type of commodity. For example, if a baker manages to sell a cake at the market rate, their labor validated not only as abstract labor, but as the particular labor of baking. Their labor is assimilated both with abstract universal labor of all industries, and also with the abstract particular labor of their particular industry. But competition from other bakers puts a downward pressure on their own labor. Thus it eventually becomes important to emphasize not similarity, but difference from the competition. That this happens not only with artisans, but also with the largest corporations in the world such as Apple who sell their Different Computers™, is obvious to everyone alive today, but the connection to basic Marxian categories is still often missed.

Purchasers of commodities (mainly capitalists), for their part, always have the opposite tendency of artisans. The interest of the buyer is to deny the artisan’s difference and to emphasize their interchangeability by any other in their industry.

This leads directly to the capitalist tendency to proliferate brands, e.g. 100 types of essentially identical peanut butter in the grocery aisle, which becomes so commonplace that people accustomed to this struggle to understand a socialist society that doesn’t demonstrate this excess.

Anyway in theory it might be possible that an actor works as a pure artisan, but in practice it never happens that way. The reason an actor builds a brand is for upward social mobility so that they can become bourgeois, just the same aspiration as any petty bourgeois.
