Reader Discussion: Who Is Your Favorite Actor Who Is Actually In A Game?

Earlier today, we reported that Lindsay Lohan is suing Grand Theft Auto V publisher Take-Two over alleged unlicensed use of her likeness. We’ve laid out why she’s probably not going to be successful, but the lawsuit did get us thinking.

There have been a lot of actors represented in video games and even more that have loaned their voices to the medium. Heck, The Elder Scrolls Online features half of Hollywood all by itself (yes, that’s hyperbole).

So, we want to know who your favorite actor in a video game is. I’m still partial to Bruce Willis in Neversoft’s Apocalypse for the original PlayStation. In that game, Bruce Willis talks to you as if you’re the player character, but you’re actually controlling him (he was originally supposed to be the sidekick). I’m sure you have a better answer, though.
