Jeff Goldblum is one thing, but when it comes to raw talent, there are few actors as brilliant or celebrated as two-time Oscar winner Kevin Spacey.

Spacey plays Jonathan Irons, president of the PMC Atlas Corporation, who of course ends up being the game's big bad, and to see an actor of his undeniable talent rendered in the CoD world is just incredibly...weird.

He gives a terrific performance and reportedly collaborated a lot with the writers on the direction of his character, but it was also unquestionably jarring to see someone from "real acting" putting his face front and center in one of the most popular video game franchises of all time.

Plus, the thought of millions of kids playing the game completely unaware of who he is is just too much to bear, but still, having an actor of his repute committing himself so much to a mainstream gaming franchise sends a pretty clear message to Hollywood: be afraid, be very afraid.
