"it would bring the Hollywood actors/actresses back down to reality & off their God like complexes." Actually, there's already something that can do that--it's called starving actors. For every $20 million dollar performer, there's thousands of actors every bit as talented, but just haven't gotten that big break. Just about every big-name actor started as an unknown. Until they land in a blockbuster movie, it's not likely that they'll ever be fully discovered. Even then, it's takes more to be a celebrity than being a good actor. Arnold Schwarzenegger was a big movie star, but it's not hard to name dozens of better actors that were never paid as much for a movie. Then, there are pseudo-celebrities, like Paris Hilton, that haven't really done anything to be famous, but the tabloids can sell their rags by putting their photo on the cover with some scandalous headline. Celebrities will be out of the news when people stop being interested in their lives and that won't happen for a long time. There are alternatives to attention starved, media hungry celebrities, but there aren't enough people interested in those alternatives to matter. I'm not worried about actors being replaced by computers any more than I ever was about animation replacing human beings, be it traditional 2D animation or done by computers. The best animators are actors. Bugs Bunny is as real as most actors. No matter how good computers get at animating realistic figures, it'll still be easier to use a real human being because it takes less time to do it.
