    Can Actors Patent Themselves?

    Like, is there anything stopping a lookalike from copying a name and voice and starring in movies? The lookalike wouldn't be trying to impersonate the actor and maybe there would even be something in the credits to indicate that they're a fake. It would just be a tactic used to save millions instead of hiring the real actor.

    they already do this, like when that one kid from zombieland pretends to be michael cera, pretty sure it's totally legal

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    I can forgive him, I thought it was Michael Cera as well until I saw the movie.
