This reminds me of a sci-fi novel I read in the nineties. The premise had something to do with actors who took on roles in virtual reality where their bodies are fit with sense-points. They're cast in live-action role-plays with wealthy remote clients. They're basically deep-fakes in VR.

Neal Stephenson's Diamond Age had an element like that. It was even possible that the actors ("ractors") didn't necessarily know what they were acting in, just the general parameters and the next set of lines and actions necessary to continue the performance.
