It goes so much deeper than that too, apparently a bunch of them are dumb enough to sign contracts away to Hollywood that allowed them to use their likeness however they see fit among other things. Correct me if I'm wrong but the contracts I think didn't get enough controversy in my view even as someone who's generally a free market guy because it extended to using their shit in holograms and generating AI of them etc.? I think this is part of what sparked the whole writers/actors strikes or that may have been more over pay.

Dumb? Or paid millions of dollars, among other 'fringe benefits"?
