10 Actors Who Reprised Iconic Roles For Video Games

4. Bill Murray - Ghostbusters: The Video Game

It took a lot to lure the notoriously picky Bill Murray back for Ghostbusters II, and when he was less than pleased with the results he vowed to never make part three. He kept true to his word when it came to another film, but he was somehow convinced to take part in the video game sequel in 2009.

In just about every way possible the game is the third instalment; it follows on from the second film (the painting of Vigo even makes an appearance), it features characters and plotlines from the original and Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson are back too. The player takes control of a rookie Ghostbuster following the original team around, which is just about every fanboy's dream come through.

Sadly the gameplay is a bit clunky and the comedy is stale compared to the movies but seeing Murray and crew back in action one last time just about compensates for those shortcomings.
