    Yes. I am sure the somewhat famous are paid well. I don’t understand how this could explain why I am downvoted?

    Longer explanation of why I wonder about doubles: One will probably use AI to make them look more like the real thing. IF this means that the “likeness owner” needs to be paid, then that becomes an extra cost factor. So the incentive will be to avoid this. This may mean that the doubles either lose employment opportunities or have to take a pay cut. The CGI artists obviously lose out in any case (not to mention the viewers).

    ETA: Is the idea that doubles and CGI artists are overpaid relative to famous actors? Actually, at this point, I’m thinking it was just a troll with a bot and there’s nothing much wrong.
