So what's the difference between this and animated characters? Will the e-actor have a virtual life outside of the productions they are casted in that's publicised in tabloids, social media and so on? I wonder how e-actors will then be casted for shows: Normally you cast because you are looking for some specific appearance, demeanour or mannerism to fit the character you created. An e-actor can probably just have some parameters tweaked. So we might end up with a whole library of generic typecast e-actors, always playing in the same type of roles. Interesting times.

>I wonder how e-actors will then be casted for shows: Probably the same way any other trademarked IP is licensed. I suspect every party that has their hand in the pot with regard to the normal workflow will kick and scream the whole way.

>>So what's the difference between this and animated characters? It's hard for us to relate to drawing so e-actors will be a step above that. It's not hard to see a situation where a specific to an e-actor chatbot will be available to all fans to relate to. Imagine what it would be like for us to talk to a famous actor on a regular basis. Similarly, future generations will be able to do that with an e-actor. There's less need for a publicity machine that keeps people interested. >>I wonder how e-actors will then be casted for shows: e-actors will have a wider range of acting talent so I can imagine a character being both an action star and a romantic lead actor.
