5. Terry Crews As Commander Isaiah Jaxon - Crackdown 3

In Crackdown 3, the player controls Commander Isaiah Jaxon, whose voice and likeness is provided by none other than Terry Crews. Jaxon is tasked with taking down the terror organisation TerraNova, after their attack on power systems across the world.

It's hard to say in this case where the role of Jaxon ends and Mr Crews begins; Crews's heightened, fun celebrity persona is a perfect match for the character in this chaotic destruction and combat game - so much so that he himself described it as a 'Terry Crews simulator'.

Crews's vibrant character injected some enthusiasm into the game before its release - after its five year development struggle - featuring in numerous live-action trailers, though ultimately his energetic performance could not swing the critical response in the game's favour, with complaints of a lack of innovation in game design.
