To their surprise, Sarandon took them up on the offer, since she respected the game’s choice of letting players complete it in a completely non-violent way. In the end, she brought the kind of sinister performance to the creepy quest-giver that only five Oscar nominations make possible.
Cara Delevingne - Grand Theft Auto 5 Rockstar Games has called on dozens of Hollywood stars to flesh out the world of Grand Theft Auto, particularly when it comes to the DJs and shock jocks of their in-game radio stations. But they caught one rising star early - before fashion model Cara Delevingne was turning heads in Paper Towns or DC's Suicide Squad movie, she was owning the airwaves in Grand Theft Auto 5, as the on air host for Non Stop Pop FM. Will Arnett - Call of Duty As the Call of Duty series has gotten more successful, A-level stars have been brought in to blur the line between video game and certified blockbuster war movie. But actor Will Arnett was hooked ever since the first Modern Warfare - a fact he discussed while making the late night rounds. The developers noticed, and even though the sequel was too far along to give the Arrested Development star a role, he did get to lend his voice to a handful of in-game barks and quips. Eliza Dushku - Wet This hack-and-slash title had all the potential to be a grindhouse hit featuring guns and swordplay, starring a ruthless mercenary Rubi Malone. Actress Eliza Dushku was cast in the role, having plenty of experience as a deadly martial artist in TV shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Dollhouse. The game’s Tarantino-esque style made it a hit with some players, but a sequel was cancelled – meaning fans of the actress will have to stick with one game for now. Steve Carell - Outlaw Golf Who says golf games can’t be marketed as loud, offensive, or not suitable for all ages? In 2002, Outlaw Golf proved every sport could be extreme, injecting humor into the gentleman’s game – especially when it came to the game’s commentator. Years before The Office and The 40 Year Old Virgin, comedian Steve Carell was giving play-by-play breakdowns of digital golf, but gave up the job for the game’s sequel, moving onto bigger and better things. John Goodman - RAGE When the developers of the post-apocalyptic shooter finished designing Dan Hagar, the first character players would meet, they realized that his glasses, hunting vest and shorts meant he looked an awful lot like the character Walter Sobchak in the movie The Big Lebowski. Figuring they should run with the idea, they sought actor John Goodman to play the part again, giving a booming voice to the no-nonsense father figure ushering players into their world.
