Add a Integer Attribute called Count. Then in the actor that you want to keep count of add a Change Attribute Behavior that says Count = Count +1. Then each time you spawn one of those actors the Count will increase by 1.

just like @jamie_c said. and when you destroy an actor first decrease it with -1 so that count is correct.

TIP:
also useful when you need the position for every actor. make a self.attribute and change self.attribute to game.count. and constrain table value to self.position.X inside row:self.integer. also add table row ad the end of the table.

Best answer I can think of is to create a game attribute "integer" called "actor count"...if your using a timer to spawn actors...change attribute to increase +1 per spawn...and then decrease actor count -1 each destroyed actor...then also display text "actor count" this should show how many are in screen at any moment. I have used this but only with timer spawned actors.
