Ashton Kutcher on Automated Acting
Ashton Kutcher doesn’t mince words when it comes to artificial intelligence and automation transforming every industry, even Hollywood entertainment.
“If you look at box office results on animated films, animated films continue to keep growing from a box office perspective. I think the more virtualization becomes real, you’re going to be able to create a person that looks and feels like a real person,” added Kutcher, who’s a tech investor in addition to being an actor. “It’s really hard still, but look at the number of animated characters in action movies today, where you get to the point and you go, is that a person, or is that animated?”

Carrie Coon: “Literature has always been the greatest fuel for my imagination.”
Coon credits the imagination of actors for pushing them into new territory. She says, “It’s Hollywood that lacks imagination. Actors don’t. That’s why we’re always auditioning for things that other people think we’re not right for, because we never tell ourselves we’re not right for something.”As an example, she points out to Hollywood’s disappointing lack of variety of roles for women her age. She says, “When you get to be a certain age as a woman, there are certain roles that keep popping up at you: cops with a heart of gold, washed-up hookers with a heart of gold, moms with a heart of gold. I mean it’s all the same.”
