"There is a long and storied history of nonhuman actors, from Luke, the dog of
silent star Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle, to the collies cast in the role of Lassie
in film and on television. Bart the Bear racked up over 20 film and TV credits
in the 1980s and 1990s, while countless horses have supported period dramas
that now saturate streaming services.
But business has not been as good as it used to be for the animal trainers who
specialize in renting creatures of all kinds to film and TV productions.
According to
The Hollywood Reporter, it’s a trend that’s been building for at
least 25 years, and it’s largely due to a mix of activism and technological
advances, which I’ve observed in my studies of animals on screen."
