Yvonne Strahovski in Mass Effect 2

50 Cent in...er...50 Cent: Bulletproof.

You need to clarify more, whether you are talking celebrities whose likeness is used and who physically appears in cut scenes, or just celebrities who do a bit of voice acting on the side.

John Doe.. Max Payne!

Yvonne Strahovski (Chuck) in Mass Effect 2 has to be mentioned, not only because she's stunning but because the character is modelled on her as well

Is that Wolf from gladiators?

Bizarre · 17 Mar 2011 at 11:45

I remember Snoop Dogg being an unlockable character in True Crime: The Streets of L.A.

The game got panned by many a critic but I actually quite enjoyed it.

50 Cent's tried his hand in a few video games too, hasn't he?

Pre-Gladiators indeed, good spot, he looked familiar but I couldn't place him, now you mention it though it's obvious, nice one

I kept being distracted from looking at him for some reason

Isn't that Wolf from "Gladiators" tv gameshow of the 80's early 90's?

Clive Owen & John Hurt in Privateer 2
That little dude from "Different Strokes" was in Postal 2
I believe that Lando from Empire Stikes Back fame played himself in Jedi Knight
Mathew Mardsen (Resevoir dogs) was GTA III with Ray Liota and a few other gangster actors..

but all the voice acting is..getting the actors from the WB cartoon was the right decision, it sets the tone for the whole game

Squark · 17 Mar 2011 at 11:52

That's true

spudbynight · 17 Mar 2011 at 11:52

Don't forget Anthony Ainley in Destiny of the Doctors

shaggyd · 17 Mar 2011 at 12:03

James Earl Jones in CnC2 along with Michael Beihn from Terminator.
Tim Curry's ham acting in Red Alert 3Dame Judi Dench in James Bond : Nightfire (with Pearce Brosnan and theme by Sugarbabes?).
Michael Ironside brilliantly acting in CnC3, deserves an Oscar!
Anthony Daniels reliving his C3PO role in Star Wars: Battlegrounds (poor AoE2 clone).
