 ### Bug Fixes
 
+* Treat actors as implicitly inheriting from `Actor` in `missing_docs` when
+  `excludes_inherited_types` is enabled, avoiding false positives on members
+  such as `unownedExecutor`.  
+  [leno23](https://github.com/leno23)
+  [#5422](https://github.com/realm/SwiftLint/issues/5422)
+
 * Detect and autocorrect missing whitespace before `else` in `guard`
   statements for the `statement_position` rule.
