10. Michael Imperioli
Ideal character: Big n' bad New Yorker, asshole Jersey boy, or all around wiseguy.
Yeah, sure, he's voice acted in that horrid piece of crap that was the Sopranos: Road to Respect, but we'll just pretend that doesn't exist. Michael's voice just screams V/A potential, and it feels awfully weird that he hardly ever did it.
9. Flea
Ideal character: Pretty much any character that's crazy as balls.
Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers has acted many times before, in such films as Back to the Future Parts II and III, The Big Lebowski, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and The Chase. Hearing Flea talk, his voice basically screams "funny, funky little man".
8. Damian Lewis
Ideal character: Calm, collected space marine. Creepy elvish villain.
Angelfaced and fiery headed English actor Damian Lewis has played a score of different characters, none of which were alike. His talent would really lend itself to voice work in vidya.
7. Edie Falco
Ideal character: Smack talkin' lady. Consistently pissed off mother figure.
Edie Falco of HBO fame is like Lorraine Brocco but slightly less irritating. She has a reputation as sort of a white Pam Grier (though not nearly as hot) in that she's tough as nails, and would make a great military character or cop.
6. RZA
Ideal character: Kung Fu master. Chill as fuck party member.
Samurai and martial arts obsessed rapper RZA (formerly of the Wu Tang Clan) is a pretty big name nowadays in the film industry, acting, directing, and scoring numerous titles. He's not that bad at it. Could use a RZA in the vidya scene, methinks.
5. Jack Nicholson
Ideal character: Insane psychopath. Grinning wisecracker.
Cinematic pretty boy turned aging playboy Jack Nicholson has played a variety of mentally unstable and charming characters over the years. He's got one of Hollywood's best smug-ass voices, and it'd be great if the 77 year old actor got a vidya role before years of cocaine abuse caught up to him.
4. Rose Leslie
Ideal character: Vicious Scotswoman. Condescending sidekick.
Scottish actor Rose Leslie, famous for telling people they don't know anything on screen (Game of Thrones) and playing a pissed off maid in Downton Abbey, has accents of masculinity in her gruff highlander brogue, and all the non-consonant thick outlandishness of a Scotswoman hailing north of Edinburgh.
3. Tom Hardy
Ideal character: Bowler hat wearing cockney bastard, gung ho American, and pretty much anybody really.
Multitalented British actor Tom Hardy has really made a name for himself in recent years. Famously playing comic book villain Bane in the Dark Knight Rises, SPC Lance Twombly in Black Hawk Down, and the titular psychotic British criminal in Bronson.
2. Ian McShane
Ideal character: Wound up hardass. Cursin' crime boss.
British actor McShane, famous for acting in Deadwood, Sexy Beast, and Pirates of the Carribean has a helluva menacing voice that sounds like Satan after years of cigarette smoking and whiskey drinking. He's also V/A'ed as the bad guy in Kung Fu Panda, so would a standalone video game really kill anyone? Besides his character of course, he needs to kill a ton of people.
1. Mike Judge
Ideal character: Calm, collected family man. Drill sergeant, or smug, chuckling idiot.
Words cannot express how much I'd love to see television director, animator, and voice actor Mike Judge play a character in a video game. The guy is multitalented on several levels, and every character he manages to voice makes me crack up just hearing them.
