Opinion: actors are not unique in deserving residuals. Everyone else should be getting them too: writers, directors, makeup artists, camera operators, grip - basically everyone who appears in the credits. Maybe call the relative share of residuals “shares”, and advertise shares in job postings: “$20 + 20 shares per hour”. Then you get hours*20/(total shares for everyone) of profits from then on.

It’s a slippery slope. What about consultant developers that worked on the codebase of photoshop 10 years ago, whose code is still used in the current version? Do they deserve a percentage of the subscription? And architect who designed it?
This is the reason studios can do this, because the contract was very exceptional, and they want to make it similar to any other industry, where freelances and employees do not share any long term revenue
