But so-called \u2018background actors\u2019 &#8211; extras used on films &#8211; now fear that they could face the chop and be replaced by droids.<\/p>\n<p>Screen Actors Guild member Allison Lahikainen warned: \u201cThe potential that [studios] could replace us entirely is very real. Not only are you putting people out of work, you\u2019re eliminating an entry point for actors starting out in the industry.<\/p>\n<p><b>READ MORE: <\/b><b>Want more showbiz?

Retaining the human factor has to be a priority.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article31108268.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615b\/0_IFP_BEM_090615Zombie004JPG.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Visual effects studios have the potential to use multiple cameras to capture an actor\u2019s entire likeness, which can then be used to create digital humans. It could see an army of computerised extras who wouldn\u2019t need paying and can work all the hours a movie-maker wants.<\/p>\n<p>And the issue is being taken seriously by leading union SAG-AFTRA &#8211; The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. In a statement to Empire, they said: \u201cBackground actors, as all performers, are currently facing an existential threat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article31108265.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615b\/0_FILES-US-ENTERTAINMENT-FILM-TELEVISION-STRIKE-ACTORS.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>They said that they have asked producers\u2019 association AMPTP to at least guarantee extras be paid each time their likenesses are used. The spokesperson added: \u201cThe Union\u2019s proposals would ensure that background actors receive adequate and appropriate compensation, not to mention broader protections to ensure that once consent is granted, it is only for the specified use that is being disclosed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article31108264.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615b\/0_EXTRAS-CHRISTMAS-SPECIAL.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><b>Have you joined Threads?
