And that's why many actors hate doing it. Peter O'Toole was originally cast as the villain in Tron, but when he learned he would have to act against bluescreens all the time, he refused to do it. I wonder what Sir Alec Guiness would have thought, if asked to act only to bluescreens - I mean he acted with real actors all the time during ANH, and he still hated it so much...
