The video game industry only continues to grow in both cultural relevance and popularity, leading to an inevitable influx of talent from the world of both television and film. Movie and TV stars have progressively found themselves behind the mic for animated features and more visual effects-heavy roles as technology advanced, and video games are the next natural extension of that.

10. Cara Delevingne As Non-Stop Pop DJ - Grand Theft Auto V
