Danny Trejo helped make Raul the Ghoul one of my favorite characters in the whole of fallout.
For Outlaw Tennis the announcer that replaced Steve Carrel was Stephen Colbert.
Who needs them
One of my favourite ones of these was the playable character in Ryse was a DI in Midsomer Murders for a bit
Eliza Dushku as Shaundi in Saints Row 2
Lucy Liu as Vivienne in Sleeping dogs
Dennis Hopper was also in 1994s Hell: A Cyberpunk Thriller
The funny thing about Mark Hammill in Spyro is that you can absolutely recognize his unique delivery, even if the voice itself is distorted beyond recognition.
What about David Tennant in Just Cause 3?
Sleeping Dogs is such an incredible game but they really did drop the ball with the romances in that game. I was really confused when Emma Stone’s character quickly disappeared from the game.
It probably says something about me that I didn’t recognize at least half the names on this list — I mean, Emma Stone, Steve Carrell, and Elijah Wood are gimmes, but as someone who never watched "Heroes. . ." Yeah, had NO idea who you were talking about with the original voice of Kairi. Then again, I’ve also never played a Kingdom Hearts game, soooo. . .
Yvonne Strahovski, Australian actress who was in major productions like 24, Dexter, The Predator (2018), and The Tomorrow War.
She played Miranda in the Mass Effect series
Elijah Wood has been in a number of video games including Broken Age, 11-11: Memories Retold, and God of War 3.
Jane: The noughties were the best decade, fite me!
Mike: Here’s the Outlaw Sports series of games, the most noughties games ever made.
Kingdom Hearts is the only reason I knew who Hayden Pannetiere was while growing up.
I frankly can’t say as I’m surprised Sir Patrick Stewart’s portrayal of Khelben Arunsun across from the late Michael Clarke Duncan’s Ygorrl the Slaad Lord in "Demon Stone" is going unnoticed; definitely a pity, though. Excellent stuff, for Forgotten Realms fans, if you ask me.
Um *pushes up my nerd glasses* Technically you had 8 Huge celebs because Mickey Mouse
reprised his role of Mickey in Kingdom hearts. /s
Deadly Creatures certainly could use a remake. Or a sequel. I really liked playing as the scorpion, but the tarantula seemed a bit more wonky in the gameplay aspects. Also, I like how the tarantula is just "oh, I need to survive this snake", while the scorpion just kinda hears a voice or something telling it to kill a human armed with a shotgun. One of the more difficult boss fights, as he can just insta-kill yo with his boots or the shotgun. Honestly, I’d think that sequel might be the better option. In the ending, these 2 creatures opted to leave eahother alone and go off in differing directions. So, it might be kinda fun to see them wind up actually needing to team up or something. Maybe add a few others to for a predatory A-Team with an insane wasp and a preying mantis or something.
Jane – "name a better decade than the noughties…" there isn’t one and I think in 1999 we all thought how was the 2000s going to beat the last 5 years, but it happened, somehow 🙌
Maybe not a huge celebrity, but I did got impressed when discovered that Anna Gunn was the lost ghost and former Guardian of Balance Ariel on the Legacy of Kain series.
I never heard of any of these people
Chris Pratt was almost cast as a cardboard box in Metal Gear Solid 5 except HE HAS ZERO TALENT AND COULDNT PULL IT OFF.
Also, Civ has had some pretty heavy hitters as narrorators
The Welsh accent wasn’t to bad compared to Robert Downey Jr in Dr Dolittle.
My personal favorite is Peter Gabriel doing a voice in Myst IV: Revelation. Honestly, he’s one of the better actors in the game!
I want to play deadly creatures
Mind = blown!
Saints Row 2 is awesome. The rest of them are trash.
For voice actors, I’ve noticed Dwight "HM Murdock" Schultz has done a fair amount of voice acting in games and cartoons. Sometimes simply listed in "additional voices", sometimes in roles such as Harmon Smith in Killer 7.
Now I know that voice I often thought I knew that girls voice in saints row but I just couldn’t put my finger onit or I didn’t pay attention to the actors behind the voices docomentary for saints row 1to4
I still remember being floored to learn that Roxas in KH2 was Jesse McCartney, who was a pretty famous pop star in his own right at the time KH2 was released. Well… maybe a bit past the height of his career by then, but it was still a name that 14-year-old me would’ve immediately recognized and been amazed by!
Sleeping Dogs is one of those games that definitely deserved at least one sequel. Voice talent aside, this for its time was one of the best open world games around. Throw Kung Fu on top of that, and I think this series could have given GTA a run for its money had the developer not gone under. Don’t forget the beautiful Kelly Hu was also in this one.
BTW, just did a quick IMDB search, and Donnie Yen is set to lead the live action version of Sleeping Dogs. This should be great.
Can’t believe that was Fassbender, incredible!
I just started playing sleeping dogs again for the first time in years so that first entry was an awesome one for me!
Andy Serkis as King Bohan in Heavenly Sword (2007) and Brad Dourif as Sevedro in Myst:Exile.
I was honestly pleasantly suprised to see Dwayne Johnson starring as The Rock in the WWE games, he is truely everywhere :^)
Yup. Super thanks for that warning! Lol.
Awesome. I’m definitely here because of "Sleeping Dogs. One of my top favorite games in the world. I remember playing back on release date and I have been in love with it since. Emma did great. Amanda is my favorite female character in the game. I was playing on ps4 and I had no idea celebrities were in the game back in 2014.
Mark Hammil plays Goro Majima in the US version of the original PS2 Yakuza.
Funny aye every video game chracter looks like the real person with suttle differences added
Who cares about the pedowood elites?
4:13 if they got Lacey Chabert (megs original voice actor) to do it in Sr4 that would of been the most amazing family guy joke just saying
We have Emma Stone at home
Great vid as always. I have a few suggestions:
Ron Pearlman in the 2008 reboot of Turok.
You’ve mentioned it in another video, but David Tennant was in Just Cause 3.
Billy Dee Williams was pretty determined that no-one else should play Lando (a principle that couldn’t be followed with Solo, and see how that was received), so he did a bunch of games.
And while probably a bit too niche to be considered a huge celebrity, I think Mike and Andy appreciates that Rob Van Dam was in Saints Row 3 and 4…
Saints Row was *stacked,* weirdly enough. Ben King was played by Michael Clark Duncan in the first game! And they had Michael Dorn as one of the villains in the sequel. And, of course, who can forget Daniel Dae Kim, who plays Johnny Gat in every game?
Fun fact, Spamton from Deltarune is actually voiced by
[[HYPERLINK BLOCKED]]
I felt dumb not recognizing the father in fallout 3 as Liam Neeson until many years after playing the game. His voice is so iconic.
I was pretty amazed when I learned that Roxas from Kingdom Hearts 2 was actually teeny-bopper star Jesse McCartney. Granted, I wouldn’t have known him from a bar of soap but I thought that seemed pretty wild at the time.
I never played sleeping dogs but I will now since watching this video
Obviously, everybody already knows about Isabella Rossellini’s star turn in certified classic Goosebumps: Escape from Horrorland
Yeah, mila wasn’t recognizable from that 70’s show either. Noooone heard of her
