Welcome to the 21st Century! We are in great luck to have achieved a massivy parallel power to enable us to create "real" figures to synthetic actors. Now all that is needed is to create personalities. Also there is a potential ability of extracting the personality of an actor. This would have a tremendous impact into all fields: 1)The actors can improve themselves by seeing themselves acting. 2)Virtual entities can be constructed to ineract with a "human" actor. The human actor will be ported into a world where these charcters exist. 2)The stunt (wo)men could instruct the computer into doing very dangerous stunts where it would be impossible to do otherwise. 3)Psychological there would be no more obsessions with actors that sell a lot with an image of a "hard to get" style. So people who are in some sense "innocent" would create the virtual actor of their dream and leave the real person alone to do some acting instead of social relationships that can be dangerous. With a guidance of a human psychologer these situations can be left into oblivion. An interactive studio that the patient can understand his obsession and get over it. 4)These belong into the next millenium of 21st century a plain reader can not understand the rest yet....

All these will be feasible into the next 25 years! Get ready...
