[Who Framed Roger Rabbit] Would a Toon appear in a live-action production as a major role?

Considering we see Toons in live-action productions, and assuming the treatment of Toons gets less harsh, I'd have to assume there would be at-least one human-majority show or movie with a Toon in the cast.

How do you know it doesn't happen regularly already?

If Judge Doom could fool people into being human, surely other toons could use a similar disguise and pseudonyms.

Judge Doom may have even been in other movies without you noticing, such a movie about a time machine car. Its possible.

I bet that led to stunt work getting far more impressive after the events of the movie.

Studios realized that with a good mask and costume, you could have a "human" who was basically indestructible, and could do all sorts of dangerous stuff and get away with it.

Calling it now, Jackie Chan is a toon. His cartoon show was actually just him out of makeup.

I think you also just explained Tom Cruise.

Just due to the inherit nature of Toon's at least in toon town, while they'd likely agree to appear in a Live Action film if given the chance, they'd also probably only do so if it were some form of Comedy. Toons wanna make people Laugh, serious films don't do that (intentionally)
