10 Actors Who Reprised Iconic Roles In Video Games

10. William Shatner As Captain Kirk - Star Trek: Legacy (2006)

Star Trek: Legacy was released in 2006 for Windows and the Xbox 360.

A pretty standard RTS with a Star Trek skin, Legacy was none too popular with critics, despite its apparently ambitious nature.

The game gave players an opportunity to control a fleet of Federation ships through different eras of Star Trek canon, and boasted an impressive voice cast to boot.

Most notably, William Shatner returned to lend his inimitable voice to Captain James T. Kirk, but he wasn't alone.

Alongside Shatner, the four leads from other Star Trek shows all reprised their roles as captains; with Patrick Stewart as TNG's Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Avery Brooks as Deep Space Nine's Captain Benjamin Sisko, Kate Mulgrew as Voyager's Captain Kathryn Janeway, and Scott Bakula as Enterprise's Captain Jonathan Archer.

Although critics derided the game's bugs, graphical issues and unwieldy controls, fans of the Star Trek franchise were undoubtedly thrilled to have an opportunity to experience so much of Trek's rich and expansive story in one place.

While it's a shame that the game didn't work out as planned, the ambition alone (and the paycheck, of course) was apparently enough to bring five actors back to reprise their iconic roles.
