Doesn't caring about the careers of those cast count as caring for their well-being? I mean, when you get right down to it, that's what you're talking about, right? What is the harm in stills of Nicole Kidman in Eyes Wide Shut appearing in the Internet? The harm (or potential harm) is her career would be negatively impacted. Otherwise, why would there be a need for concern at all? I didn't think about the crew but how does a decision on having nudity in a scene relate to the crew? Is the idea not to offend the key grip or something?
I'm sorry, but you're losing me here....

Where are you getting that from?

Well, I was trying to find out where your line is being drawn.

If a part is written, the actor should play that part. If DeNiro doesn't want to do a nude scene he can talk to the director/producer about changing it or not take the role.

With this I agree and I think that's what others have been saying as well. If they want to do the scene, they do the sceen. If they don't want to do the scene, they don't take the part. They being the actors. It's the changing of the scene due to an issue with the actor that I think we are disagreeing on.
I believe you feel the scene would need to be changed or written with some mysterious concern for the actor(s) involved to accomodate the actor, in some way, where others here (myself included) feel the scene should be written to tell the story, first and foremost, and if it includes gratuitous nudity, so be it.
Peace...
