I doubt 1 to 1 cloning an actors voice without their consent to replace them is even a threat to actors as they have such an easy recourse. I see the future much more in actors that aren't modeled on anyone specifically. That would be a big cost saver for studios imo

Interesting that your position is that the OP assertion of something that already happened isn’t a problem.
It’s also quite literally at the root of the current entertainment union strikes.
And in my experience: we cloned my sons voice for an AI podcast experiment. It’s vaguely similar to his voice but you could also claim it’s not his voice. But the more we listened to his AI voice the less we could stand it. It captured enough characteristics to be an uncanny valley version of him, but also remained plausibly not him. We erased it.
Has there been any voice cloning in any big commercial projects yet? It's mostly private people running models on their own machine/ doing it on 11 labs for fun. I don't see Hollywood doing this at all

What is this easy recourse?
