I DON'T KNOW! sh*t I'm so confused lol. I can't seem to make my Actors Transparent... How do I do that? What I mean is: You can see the actors, but you can't see that big white Rectangle surrounding them.

If your image has an alpha channel, GE will use that. If it doesn't have one, then any pixel that is the same colour as the top-left pixel of the image will be transparent. So you need to make the top-left pixel the same colour as the image background.

if your image has no Alpha channel, then, you could add a pixel resolution like Ex: original size is 32x32 and then you could put it 33x32, leaving the first column of pixel another color that is not used in the picture.

In that case I'd normally make it 34 by 34, and adding a border, but it doen't matter, except where the image centre is. Use whatever you want.
