1. Kiefer Sutherland, MGS V



We still consider David Hayter as the de facto voice of Solid Snake and the Metal Gear series. But when Hideo Kojima sought to portray an older, more grizzled lead character for MGS V, he turned to veteran actor Kiefer Sutherland (24, Designated Survivor) to take on the role. It turned out to be a great choice as Sutherland gave an iconic performance as Snake (or Big Boss) in one of the best games in the franchise.



2. Samuel L. Jackson, GTA San Andreas



Grand Theft Auto remains as of the most successful franchises in the history of video games. One of the best in the series is still GTA San Andreas and a major reason for that is Samuel L. Jackson's portrayal as the corrupt police officer, Frank Tenpenny. It's now pretty much a foregone conclusion that everything Jackson touches turns to gold and this is no different.



3. Mark Hamill, Batman: Arkham series



Say what you will about Heath Ledger's take on the Joker (and for the record, he was really good) but Mark Hamill will always be The Joker for us. We grew up being freaked out by Hamill's Joker on Batman: The Animated Series in the early 90s and were extremely delighted when he signed on to reprise his role on the Arkham series of games alongside Kevin Conroy (who played Batman in the 90s series as well).



4. Ellen Page, Beyond Two Souls



Quantic Dream (Heavy Rain, Detroit: Become Human) is a video game development firm based in Paris that specializes in games that play out like interactive movies. So it only makes sense for them to cast real actors in their titles because of their focus on storytelling and emotions over things like combat or stealth mechanics. In 2013, they released Beyond Two Souls, a story of a young girl who is linked with a supernatural being since birth. It remains as one of the most enthralling games to be released for this generation and it was powered by a solid performance from Ellen Page.



5. Liam Neeson, Fallout 3



Liam Neeson's voice is as iconic as any we've heard in our lifetime. It's up there with the likes of Morgan Freeman, Samuel L. Jackson, and David Attenborough. So it only makes sense for Neeson's voice to appear on a video game somewhere, right? Fortunately, it has, thanks to 2008's Fallout 3. So if you've ever wondered what it would be like to live in a post-nuclear war era with Liam Neeson as your father, then you definitely have to play this game.
