Copyright prevent unauthorized copies.

Patents prevent unauthorized cloning.

Trademarks prevent a realisitc likeness.

Actors seem to be unaware they need to do the hard thing and build a new legal framework to patent and/or trademark their voices and vocal features. They need to get working with some lawyers and go to the USPTO with them. Protesting will just delay the inevitable.
