Like Ben Kingsley, Malcolm McDowell is a hugely talented actor with a prestigious filmography which includes dabbling in video games. They share another similarity in that the games in question, Fable and Elder Scrolls: Online, are both overflowing with celebrity voices, but more on that later.

McDowell first made his name in A Clockwork Orange, but since then has appeared in all sorts of projects, from Halloween and Bolt to Star Trek and Easy A. He’s featured in several TV shows too, like Community, We Bare Bears and Phineas & Ferb. He’s been a very busy man, and his catalogue is about as full as you can get.

Elder Scrolls: Online isn’t the only game McDowell has lent his voice to either. As well as featuring in the virtual Bolt & Star Trek, he’s also been in Mummy: Tomb Of The Pharaoh, Wet, God Of War III, Call Of Duty: Black Ops III, Fallout 3 and Killzone 3. Clearly a man who likes threes, then.

He’s joined in Elder Scrolls: Online, where he plays Morag Bal, by a whole host of names, including Kingsley’s Fable co-star John Cleese. There’s also Bill Nighy, Alfred Molina, Kate Beckinsale and Michael Gambon.
