Someone could definitely program their media player to make it appear as though the actors are waiting for you to press play again. Subtle rise and fall of the chest, blinking, all that.

How about just change the eyes so they occasionally randomly move. This is probably simple enough to implement as a media player plugin or browser addon that could be distributed with pirated games. Just imagine this starts happening at random. Bonus points if it spreads to your other devices.
