Actors, actresses, actrons, and . . .

psrc@pegasus.att.com (Paul S R Chisholm)
(original, smirk, computers)

(This is an original joke by Sean O'Connell, sean@hacks.arizona.edu;
it was originally posted in alt.tv.babylon-5.  I'm submitting it on his
behalf and with his permission.)

J. Michael Straczynski, the creator of the TV series BABYLON 5, was
discussing computer generated graphics.  He's just seen images of a
computer generated character (an alien) that will appear in an
episode.

Joe mentioned an attempt to replace the words "actor" and "actress"
with the word "actron"; this didn't catch on, but perhaps it could be
used for computer generated act-nonpersons?

Sean suggested they should instead be called "bit-players".
