Digital Stars

It had to happen sooner or later. Hollywood has developed a way to replace actors with digital avatars. I was a professional actor for five years and it was bad enough losing parts to blokes who had all the depth of a video game character. Now you get pipped by the "real" thing.

Question is, will they be represented by digital agents?

  2. You were an actor? Is there anything big we'd know you from?

    (Apart from this, obviously. Yeah. That's assumed.)
