What if they just hired an actor to play his part?

Why would you ever fucking resort to ai.

Because they want to wear us down until we no longer bother to fight it. In the long run, they'll be able to do it for virtually everything, and not have to pay a dime to expensive actors.

Because studios are creatively bankrupt.

Not only can they not conceive of making something original, but they can't even imagine retreading old ground without the exact same cast.
