The trouble with this, for me, is that wouldn’t such a world necessarily mean the end of new actors (not to mention new worlds and stories)? After all, why hire unknowns when you can stack the cast with the A-listers of all time?
And if everyone stacks the cast thusly, there are no opportunities for new actors to work with old and be mentored + opportunity to simply works since every bit of work is what adds up to make a journeyperson.

- voltaireodactyl 4y agoI get that, but I find it hard to see why one would look for NEW training data from actors who will never have the opportunity to become as seasoned as their forebears, when you have 100+ years of filmed historical data (among other formats) from which to pull your players?

- voltaireodactyl 4y agoTotally, but their estates won’t be as precious (as we’re seeing with holograms already). And once a certain critical mass is built up, it’s built up — and it’s be foolish not to use it.
