No doubt Rockstar has had incredible actors do the voiceover work for their characters. Vice City had loads of Hollywood names; San Andreas brought in more urban celebrities to add the genuineness; IV had incredible actors (Michael Hollick did a mind-bogglingly excellent job as Niko Bellic).
But there are always celebrities that fans listen to and think “Wow… imagine if they were in GTA.”
Well, here are some awesome actors that would do excellent jobs as characters (protagonists and antagonists alike) in a GTA game.
10. Liam Neeson
Liam is an incredible actor (with the exception of the Taken movies), and on top of that is Irish. What could be better?
Yes, we had the McRearys in GTA IV, but we mostly focused on Packie. I think we need a much stronger Irish character – even potentially a lead. How awesome would it be to have a 40-something year old Irish gangster stuck in Austin, TX trying to work his way up?
Something Rockstar should keep in mind?

Already talking gta 6, wow
You can never start too early, my dear friend.
I gotta say one big no.
R* did the right thing with going the “not-having-famous-voiceovers”, because when I see Tenpenny in SA, I don’t see some crooked cop, I see a freakin’ Samuel L. Jackson with afro on top of his head, citing from the Holy Bible, lol.
Mila Kunis doing a GTA voiceover? I think not!
Why not you ask? One word…..Meg.
I’d be able to get over that, personally. Somehow, even with as much Family Guy as I watch, I’m able to detach Mila Kunis from the Meg character.
How could you leave out Tom Hardy, what an amazing voice and actor, (granted his face would not be covered like it was in the new batman film), But everything he does just oozes talent
Very good argument, JTD. Tom does have that perfect voice for games.
Patrick Stewart (from the X-men movies as Professor-X and Stan’s boss from the CIA in American dad and as Jean-luc Picard from Star Trek next gen) he has THE most authoritative voice and could easily pull off a Mayor or maybe even a well spoken villain for a change instead of the Gangsta thugs he could seem to the rest of the public like just a regular well spoken Englishman but underneath he could have this whole drug line and hit-men that would be awesome.
Tom Waits would be a cool addition to this list
What about Robert Deniro, Al Pacino, Denzel Washington, Russel Crowe, Jude Law with that british accent, Seth Rogen, Woody Harrelson, Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, Tom Hardy.
