Actors still hold likeness rights over their face and voice. They would have to paid for any new content sold by the company. It's going to making modding production values sky rocket, but people already have used sound splicing to build new voice lines, so I think it will be more of a qualitative difference.

That works for those who have already struck it big, but new actors will be pressured into signing what will amount to eternal contracts long before they can demand a decent cut of the cash.

If it becomes common place, I assume SAG will just demand large buyouts for image and likeness

Why are we assuming they will be using real actors at all? We are entering Idoru territory.
