No. What you watch is conserved in time. Even the living actors and actresses are somewhere else in life and you just watch their old selves. Seeing stuff through media is a bit like seeing the light emitted from a very distant source, it comes to you with great delay. By the time the movie comes to you as a final product, the actors are long over it working on some completely different project.
Same with music. You might discover some album from years ago that resonates with you, you love lyrics and what the author said in the interview from those times but then you realize that this version of them is long gone, they look and think differently now.

I was born in 1952.
My love of movies began when watching them on tv.
Some of the actors had passed....some I knew had....others I learned about later.
Today, many actors in my movie collection are no longer alive.
I have been used to watching dead people for decades.

The worst mistake of my life was in back in '60. We loved watching the 3 Stooges on tv. A girl in our neighborhood loved Curley....I told her that sadly, he was dead (he died in '52). She ran home crying.
I felt terrible! To this day, I hope I didn't scar her for life!

@DrWatson Many of the actors in silent films had various dialects/accents and that would not translate well when the sound era began. Many never could make the transition.
Lon Chaney only made 1 sound film, the remake of his earlier The Unholy Three. Chaney wasn't a fan of the coming of sound, as he believed it took away from the skill of pantomime.

Yes. And even the ones without accents might have had voices that would not have gone over well in sound movies. And Lon Chaney actually had difficulty projecting his voice during that remake, as he had contracted throat cancer and would die shortly afterwards.
On the other hand, some did make the transition. I remember watching a scene in a Thin Man movie, in which William Powell was all alone searching a room. It struck me how, simply by how he moved around, he absolutely commanded the scene, and I said to myself, "That's his silent film experience showing." (I had recently watched "The Last Command", 1928)

@mainvane That's why it's called "acting". ;)
