There was a television series "Max Headroom" in the early 1980 that was perhaps the first to use the idea of a computer generated character as an acting personality.  The first series that I know of that used CGI for all their special effects and space scenes was "Babylon 5".  In Japan a while back there was a virtual celeberty known as (as far as I remember) "Kioko Guest".  So you are not saying anything that is so strange, it is coming to mainstream already.  Besides the movie that you mentioned, the best look SFX scenes today are made with computer graphics.

Except for a few real actors, the huge battle scenes in the "Lord of the Rings" movies were computer generated.  Coordinating the motions of so many computer generated actors was not done by humans.  Rather they use created artifical intelligence posing engines that took assigned tasks for each groups of character and behavior rules to pose each frame of the battle sequences.
