"the actor(s) (if any) holds copyright in the acting" - Since when? The only case I've heard of where a court said that an actor got copyright was overturned on appeal.

"Almost certainly, every MP3 of every song is covered by copyright; that is, someone, somewhere owns the copyright" If the recording was made prior to 1972 (and later converted to MP3) under US law it is not protected by copyright, although it may have weaker protection under state law.

The US copyright office will search its records (for a fee) to try to determine who holds the copyright in a given work, and what address to contact to ask permission for use. This does not always give a useful answer, but often it does.
