Concerning "는"
I was reading this phrase:
제일 좋아하는 영화 배우는 누구에요?
I understood the phrase but why is there 2 는 in this sentance? (after 좋아하 and 배우)
Thanks in advance!

The first '-는/-ㄴ' is a conjugation form of verbs or adjectives to modify nouns, and the second one is a marker which makes a noun into a subject, technically a topic.
e.g.
좋아하다(to like) ☞좋아하는 배우(an actor who I like)
가르치다(to teach) ☞ 가르치는 사람(people who teach) = 선생님(teachers)
배우다(to learn) ☞ 배우는 + noun
먹다(to eat) ☞ 먹는 + noun
사과+는 맛있어요(= Apples are delicious)
"사과" can be a subject or object depending on markers.
With the subject markers 이/가/는/은, it can be a subject.On the other hand,
it also can be an object with the object markers 을/를 like "사과+를 먹었어요(I ate an apple)".
