I remember that commercial, and Audrey Hepburn's chocolate commercial. And Bill Clinton's role in Contact.
More recently there was also some news about actors having to double check their contracts to make sure they didn't sign away the rights to 3D scans of them being used outside of the film they were in.

Yikes! An actor works once and would never work again.
If that sort of thing becomes commonplace, that won't be an issue, because they'll never work at all, and actor will slowly but surely cease to exist as a profession at the high end. See the comments upthread about Hatsune Miku and such; Japan is much farther down this road than the US is.
