Weirdly I don't think we've ever done this contest on b8(?), so let's find out the BEST EVER ACTING PERFORMANCE IN A GAME!

It's not just voice acting, obviously, since mo-cap became a thing. But you're free to interpret the voting and nominations however you see fit.

Please nominate the performer, the role they played and what game(s) it was in.

For instance:
Troy Baker as Joel (The Last of Us 1/2)

For now feel free to nominate 10 performances. We'll see what the overall interest is like before we decide how many entrants we'll have in this, and when things dry up a bit I'll let people do some extra nominations (maybe just seconding stuff that's already been nominated).

Yep! It'd be weird to restrict North or Baker or Bailey to only one nomination, for example.

I feel like Mark Hamill would get a lot of votes based on his non-game performances. Can't think of any other instance of a non-game actor breaking the 'balance' though.
