10 Actors Who Reprised Iconic Roles For Video Games
7. Reginald VelJohnson - Die Hard: Vendetta
Sure, Reginald VelJohnson will never be a big name like most of the actors on this list, but he’ll always have a special place in moviegoer’s hearts thanks to the role of Al in Die Hard. Al hasn’t been seen on the big screen for awhile now, but he did pop up in 2002 game spin-off Die Hard: Vendetta.
The plot has Hans Gruber’s evil son causing havoc for McClane and his daughter, and good old Al reappears to help out. Needless to say, Bruce Willis doesn’t show up for this outing, and sadly Vendetta is just a generic FPS with very little to set it apart from other games released at the time.
The game leans way too heavily on nostalgia for the series to draw gamers in, and while it’s nice to hear VelJohnson’s smooth, reassuring tones he doesn’t have a whole lot to do in the game itself.
