10 Times Video Games WASTED Big Actors

7. Liam Neeson - Fallout 3

When you manage to score a big actor like Liam Neeson, you should really get the most out of them.

He’s been a Jedi, become a household action star and even left his mark with stunning performances from the likes of Schindler's List. So why Bethesda cast him as such a minor role in Fallout 3 is just puzzling.

It isn’t cheap to get an actor such as this through the door, let alone in the recording booth. Their time is at a premium and he could’ve and should’ve been more integral to the game. Playing the father of the player might seem like a big deal, but not when he shows up for 2 out of the 100-hour playtime possible.

There is so much on offer in Fallout 3 which makes it an excellent time, but when you look at something similar like Mass Effect and what they did with Martin Sheen, well Bethesda should’ve gone down this route - instead of basically using Neeson as a marking tool.
