It seems like this case should have centered on copyright ownership. I think there is copyright in the recorded performance that would normally go on to the owner or producer of a movie as a work for hire. But in this case, from my understanding, the actor was fraudulently induced to sign the contract, which would potentially cause a problem with the work for hire ownership.
