Do you mind when studios use body doubles, CGI, or prosthetics for actors?

Doug Jones now has it in his contract/s that any (prosthetic laden) role with lines is to be voiced by he alone.

Very nice switches. I didn't know about Linda's twin sister😊Very nice😀Nice switch for Leonardo too. Red Skull looks like Skeletor

I'm surprise nothing was said about the actor for Martin McFly, Back to the Future. The character was done by two people

That SAG rule seems to have gotten lax as of late.

In Blade, Snipes also refused to open his eyes in one scene so they had to do CGI eyes on him

[PhantomFilmAustralia]

Cheech Marin's got them beat playing three different characters in _From Dusk Till Dawn._

[The_Infamous_Boogyman]

An identical twin having a stinking resemblance? Wow! That's amazing!

Swollen face? Someone should tell Jennifer Lawrence to get a checkup.

Title is "Actors Who Were Replaced And Fooled Fans". For a few of them (eg. _The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus_ and _Family Guy_ you explicitly state that the switch was obvious. :/

Thors friend fandral was also replaced!

[HoldenNY]

I thought they refused to have Crispin Glover in the 2nd Movie. He was essentially fired.

[brjo]

My man! What you call him?? Arnold what????

[ang]

The JL movie was a mess because of Snyder, not Whedon. Compare the superhero movies made by both and you'll see that Whedon is far superior than Zack!
