Answer

The best actors are older.

Work Step by Step

In order to create a box and whisker plot, use a box a whisker plot maker online. (To draw one by hand, draw a line, making the far left point the minimum and the far right point the maximum. Then, draw a box, where the left side of the box is $Q_1$ and where the right side of the box is $Q_3$. Finally draw a vertical line through the box: this is your median.) Doing this, we see that the box for the best actors is further right than the box for the best actresses, indicating that the best actors are generally older than the best actresses.
