10 Actors Who Would Make Great Video Game Characters

5. Leonardo DiCaprio

Paramount PicturesParamount Pictures"Who would have thought that DiCaprio would be such a sought after actor following his breakout performance in Titanic?" Said nobody ever. DiCaprio€™s as versatile as actors come, and whether you first saw him in Gangs of New York or Django Unchained, there€™s no denying that the man is extremely talented. After his performance as Calvin Candy in Django, seeing him in a similar video game role as an abhorrent slaver that's unavoidably likeable due to his magnetic performance would be a stellar fit. The dynamic has been seen before with the likes of Tony Soprano from The Sopranos and Walter White in Breaking Bad, and giving the player the opportunity to play as such a character would raise some interesting moral choices. On the flip side, DiCaprio can do wonders with black comedy; just look at The Wolf of Wall Street - it was one of his finest performances to date, and if he could replicate the role of a millionaire playboy in a video game, there's a series already out there that could accommodate such a role easily; Grand Theft Auto.
