Correct.
Phillip Jackson would have got paid as an actor without a doubt.

@wstol Pause the video about 2:52. He is the bad guy with the helmet, goggles and pipe wrench. Not the bad guy with the #13 on his helmet. Don't think they show a real life picture of him. Just the hand drawn style. After seeing the face again it should click with you who he is.
2:14 is another good one of him. There is another but I lost it.

He would have played the scene fully and his acting digitally turned into a sketch.

Yes, that is actually him. A technique called Rotoscoping was used were they draw / trace animation over live action video /film. They drew over several thousand frames to make the video.

A cool thing about the rotoscoping effect is that it gives the hand drawn 'cartoon part' a more natural, fluid movement of the characters versus original cartoon style animating like Bugs Bunny, etc. Because it is essentially natural human movement - just drawn over top of.
