     @arstechnica He need not worry. Completely synthetic actors are on the way that are always available, obey without question, never need rest, and can be doing as many projects at once as you like. Given how wooden most Hollywood roles already are, the only thing likely preventing this is the need to conceal that the actor doesn't exist.
