Unexpected Cameos in games
I was having a go at GTA Vice City for some retro reminiscing on Saturday, and who pops up as one of the voices but His Majesty Danny Dyer.
Are there any other games out there that had voice acting from small-time actors who are now quite big-time? I know it's only Eastenders, but it is watched by quite a few people...

The late Gary Coleman in Postal 2 is the only one I know of off the top of my head... that was hilarious! But he wasn't exactly a "small-time" actor then.
List of quite a few here though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...in_video_games

I do remember something about Ricky Gervais being in GTA IV, never played it though. Might have to check out VC Stories...
Aside from that, listening to the talk-show radio in the cars, it could actually be modern-day. What was parody then is now reality...

Wasn't Mark Hamill in one of the Nintendo games? Starfighter or something?

Re: Unexpected Cameos in games
I was playing Fallout 4 recently and came across a character whose voice I recognised but could not place. A bit of research found out it was Dwight Schultz (Murdoch from A-Team, Barclay in Star trek and so on). He is also in the latest Master of Orion, along with Mark Hamill, Michael Dorn (Worf) and John de Lancie.

Not really a cameo, but Stephen Merchant did a great job as Wheatley in Portal 2.

Re: Unexpected Cameos in games
How many of these were small-time actors at the time of their cameos, though?
