8. Max Von Sydow As Esbern - Skyrim

He is the Three-Eyed Raven in Game of Thrones, and one of the few experts on the Dovahkiin in Skyrim. Sydow has been a part of many different film projects over the years, but went against type to provide some voice work as Esbern in The Elder Scrolls V.

Established as a man with a wealth of intelligence, Esbern helps the Dragonborn realize their full potential and conquer Alduin. The old, wise man character is a role Sydow could play in his sleep, having played similar character types before. With that considered, he still gives a fine, restrained performance as he delivers both necessary exposition and even a Uriel Septim-like monologue about his dreams.

Sydow endows Esbern with a great sense of pride, as well as plenty of philosophical ponderings for anyone willing to listen. This kind of character can easily be very one-note and dull, yet Sydow, with his effective delivery, ensures that each word seems worthy of remembering for years to come.
