If an actor willing acted in my film, but I didn't get a form signed, is there anything he can do if this video is posted online...
... if this video is posted online for free without any intent of earning profit ?
Thanks. so what sort of fine or damages would I be looking at ?
Yes indeed it would be hard to get me for defamation since he knew the script and everything involved before we filmed.
He is really more of a douchebag than anything, and doesn't have money for a lawyer in the first place.
and insulting them in a public forum is searchable and can potentially bite you in the rumpus as well. As it is written and publically displayed it is considered libel rather than defamation or slander. Tread carefully (Perhaps edit as well - the google bots may not have picked up the insult yet -- although they probably have, they're wicked fast, and will remember the post even after the edit).

I don't know what the particular situation is.. but is there a specific reason you can't go get a release from said actor now, after the fact? Did things end badly? If so, your best bet it to find a new actor and reshoot those pieces just to avoid potential (however unlikely) problems.
