Genuine question that I couldn't see in the article; does everyone on a film get residuals, or just the more notable roles like writer and actor? If not, did e.g. a lighting specialist not contribute at least as much as a person whose face was scanned?

AFAICT, all credited directors, writers and actors get residuals; production crew do not get residuals directly, but it's paid into health and retirement funds; uncredited actors get nada.
