10 Celebrities You Couldn't Take Seriously In Video Games

10. David Duchovny - XIII

Even accepting that David Duchovny's well-honed acting brand is firmly off-the-cuff, the man sounds like he was shot with a tranquiliser dart before recording his lines as protagonist Jason Fly in cult fave FPS XIII.

Duchovny's permanently flattened vocal delivery makes it painfully clear he's just sleepwalking his way through the gig for an easy paycheck. 

His work only comes across even more lifeless and disinterested given the game's heightened comic book-y style and the fact that he's starring opposite Adam West, who gives a decidedly more spirited performance as General Carrington.

Simply, it's hard to take Duchovny seriously in this role when he clearly isn't taking it seriously himself. 

The man has built a career from playing laid-back characters, and so it was a poor choice to cast him as an individual who needs to, like, emote and seem interested in unraveling the central mystery.
