We’ve been infiltrated by imposters. Our entertainment industry is facing an invasion of non-people with striking similarities to real and recognizable actors. The digitization of A-listers is spreading in Hollywood productions, allowing for lifelike simulations of actors to creep in and undermine everything we once took for granted about performing. And some say the logical endpoint of all this would be the eventual fading-out of the breathing, acting middlemen entirely.
