If it's stock footage/photos you're apprearing in, then yes. Stock footage isn't generally shot for a specific client. It's shot for multiple clients to buy and use in their commercials and print ads. Here's a stock photo and footage site:
You or I could buy any footage or photo from that site and use it for whatever purpose we wished. Conversely, you or I could appear in that footage as actors or models, and per our contracts we would have no say in how it was used, nor any obligation to endorse the product or cause it was used to support.
Casey Knowles and her family had no idea what clients would buy the "sleeping girl" footage shot 8 years ago, but they were under no obligation to support or endorse those clients. And as we saw, Casey didn't. :-)
