I swear it sounds like a scene from a movie or something....
Is this an easter egg?

When Zevran says "so like the priestess said to the handsome actor what now"?

"Said the actress to the bishop." That line probably appears in at least one movie. At any rate, it's the British equivalent of "That's what she said."

That is not much like the original line though.

It doesn't make too much sense in context, does it? Because it's certainly not a "that's what she said" but it was supposed to be a humorous segue.

I think it's an effort to add Zevran innuendo to an otherwise tame question ("What now?")
If I'm reading the wiki page right, typical usage would be more like:
Person 1: "So, what now?"
Smart Alec: "...Said the actress to the bishop." (Or, 'That's what she said!', or even more crudely, 'Funny, that's what your momma asked me this morning.')
Thus conjuring up an image of the actress and the bishop in bed, with the actress curious as to what comes after their amorous encounter, and making Person 1 facepalm.
Only, in Dragon Age's dialogue format, they can't guarantee that the Warden will ask "What now?" so that Zevran could respond, "Said the actress to the bishop," so they reverse the order of the normal 'joke' (using the term loosely) and put both lines in his mouth.
Since there are no bishops in Thedas, a priestess is used instead. To keep it heteronormative, the actress becomes a handsome actor.
It's a bit strained but I think it works.
