By which I mean somebody who got famous in movies or TV (or music, I guess?) before being a voice in the game, with SLJ in San Andreas being the clearest example off the top of my head.

I nearly made a poll but I would definitely have Anagram'd it because there's loads.

Also, maybe we should do a tournament for best performance in a videogame. Overall, I mean, not just celebrities.

As I had to look him up before remembering he was the AM guy, probably not?

I think a face test is probably the best measure here? Like do I recognise the guy if you showed me a picture?

genuine answer is I really like the various TV people in LA Noire and Lance Reddick in Horizon.

I think its neat when the character looks like the actor.

Does Mark Hamill in Arkham count? That's him playing a role he did a decade prior.

Like, would you give him credit for voicing Luke Skywalker in a Star Wars game?

I think my favorite is Gary Oldman as Reznov in COD World at War/Black Ops series.

I also second Sean Bean in Kholat. Rami Malek in Until Dawn is pretty good. Seth Green as Joker in ME.

For some fun ones, I like Ozzy in Brutal Legend & Christopher Walken in Ripper.

Eh I was thinking about that, but I think that's kinda what makes it so good. At that time actors very rarely voiced their video game counterpart and even if they did it was very half assed. Hamill brings his all here and I think it shows a level of respect for the medium that not many celebrities had back in 2009

I knew there was another one I was trying to remember, this is probably the best answer.

For a pseudo-celeb, let's talk about Nolan North as Nolan North in Saints Row IV.

For a big name celebrity, Patrick Stewart in Oblivion really springs to mind as an iconic role.
