10 Actors Who Would Make Great Video Game Characters

8. Joe Pesci

Warner Bros.Warner Bros.The presence of this guy in the list is largely due to his outstanding performance in GoodFellas. If ever there was a candidate for the most authentic and psychotic gangster performance in cinema, Joe Pesci's performance as Tommy DeVito would be top of that list. Games like L.A. Noire would be a perfect fit for his talents, and you€™d be hard pushed to find another actor who could play a sociopath as genuinely as Mr. Pesci. If Team Bondi ever make a sequel, the hope is that they employ the actor's talents to play a character similar to those seen in Casino and the aforementioned GoodFellas €“ interrogating a character with his likeness and L.A. Noire€™s facial recognition technology would be a dream come true for many. Those of you who grew up in the 90s may remember Pesci's role in the now quintessential Christmas film Home Alone as a bumbling, hapless burglar: a victim of devious traps laid by an eight-year-old boy. The actor is unquestionably capable of comedy roles too, but whether these talents would translate well to video games is an interesting prospect - an expletive-filled role in a potential sequel to Bulletstorm would be just dandy.
