Big Name Actors You'd Love to Hear in a Game

[OldAccount]

With big name actors taking more and more of an interest in voice acting for video games(Liam Neeson in Fallout 3, Martin Sheen in Mass Effect 2) I'm wondering what other actors you'd would like to see in games and the Characters you'd like them to play.

Personally I want to see(hear) Morgan Freeman in a game. For whatever reason I envision him as a Spartan in the Halo universe but thats just me.

Came in here to say Morgan Freeman.

I gotta say though, Martin Sheen was terrible in Mass Effect 2. I'd never been so conscious of his lisp before, but now it's all I hear.

I'd also like to hear Neeson do more. He was wasted in Fallout 3.

Ditto Ron Perlman.

Jason Statham, if you he's big enough, in like some super awesome action game with LOADS of explosions. Like the next GTA V or some shit.

Screw big name actors.

I'll take Tony Jay, Frank Welker, or Kevin Conroy any day.

Id love to hear Robert Downy Junior in a Game.
Especially in a JRPG if he was the Badass Party Member who thinks for himself but eventually does something GAR to save the Group.
His voice would be perfect for that.

Before I die, I must hear Christopher Walken's voice in a video game.

 

[Blueruler182]

Morgan Freeman, Sean Connery, Zachery Quinto, Nolan North, Masi Oka, Arnold Swar... however you spell his last name, Summer Glau, Sir Ian McKellen, Aragorn (I've forgotten his name), Orlando Bloom, Johnny Depp (dear god, Johnny Depp!)... I think that's all.

Oldman & Walken.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

I've always wanted to hear Liam Neeson as a cool dad...

..oh, hang on...

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

Patrick Stuart needs to do more. He was great in Oblivion, but hasn't done much else.

 

[BlastedTheWorm]

Nathan Fillion, Adam Baldwin and Alan Tudy-oh wait...

 

[Mastercylinder]

Bruce Cambell to do the voice of Earthworm Jim. (They even have the same catchphrase! "Groovy" XD)

or Harrison ford to do either Indy or Han.

 

[SageRuffin]

I wanna here Will Smith in a game. I think that would be hilarious.

 

[ClassicJokester]

Nathan Fillion, Adam Baldwin and Alan Tudy-oh wait...

Hahaha I actually came to this thread to say that. Like, exactly that.

Before I die, I must hear Christopher Walken's voice in a video game.

He had a starring role in a FMV game called "The Ripper". SpoonyOne did a review of it (I think...).

 

[Kuranesno7]

Before I die, I must hear Christopher Walken's voice in a video game.

already happened in True Crime: Streets of L.A., played an old cop.

Nolan North.

playing Deadpool in Marvel vs. Capcom 3. played Desmond from Assassin's Creed, The Prince from the Prince of Persia remake, Drake from uncharted drake's fortune.

Sir Anthony Hopkins, would have killed to have Dennis Hopper do somethin else before he died, Sharlto Copley (the District 9 guy), Alan Arkin, Woody Harrelson, Bruce Campbell, Woody Allen, just great actors in general in order to see them do a bit in a game.

He's not a big name, per se, but John Hurt's voice is one that deserves to be featured in video games. Ideally, he should be playing some kind of wise, stoic elder-mage or an ageing king who spends his days mourning his past glories in a stale castle of memories.

To be honest, though, I don't care what kind of game he features in - John Hurt is too fine an actor to be limited to that LOTR-esque fantasy world - it just seems that roles for the older gentleman seem to exist only in games based in that fantastical realm.

Besides Mr. Hurt, I'd like to see Ryan Reynolds in a game - as a cameo, not an actual role - and I think it'd be great to hear Liam Neeson play a more prevelant character in a game. Not that your father in Fallout 3 wasn't important, but he just wasn't in the game very much which was a pretty heavy disappointment.

I have many complimentary things to say about the following actors, but I think I'm taking the piss a bit with how long this answer is so I've decided to list them in no particular order:

Brendan Gleeson
Aaron Eckhart
Gary Oldman
Martin Lawrence
Mark Hamill
Jeff Bridges
Cillian Murphy

 

[Ultress]

Oldman & Walken.

Oldman was in the legend of Spyro Games nd was damn awesome in them.


OT:Morgan Freeman(obviously),Hugh Laurie, and maybe Allison Lowhman.

I'd like Humberto Velez for hispanic Gutsman, I guess

(he's the guy who dubs Homer, Terminator in T2, the fat guy in that matilda movie, the fatass cat in Stuart Little and a shit ton of other characters, and he's damn good at it)


for english, Vince Valenzuela for Doomguy, that's all there is

I'd love to hear Alan Rickman in a game. His voice is the definition of evil mastermind and having his voice in a game would just make it so epic.
