Also this makes me wonder how actor contracts work, that they can just sorta throw this at him randomly like that.

In the gaming studios I've worked in, the writing team would pitch the script to the director and he'd personally work to contact agents to cast the roles, since he'd already know from the finance dudes what's going on.

In indie studios, you'd be surprised how far a nice DM and asking their line rate gets you. A lot of the recurring VA are surprisingly affordable, and bored celebrities can happen. E.G: Sean Bean only wanted like 1k for Kholat for whatever reason.

Edit: In a huge AAA budget like this, Matt Mercer was obviously offered a generous salary for some easy work and he took the bait, or the same thing happened but they obviously offered him a better contract right after the gag.
