When Kevin Spacey’s face popped up in the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare trailer, a lot of us did a double take. He’s playing a character named Jonathan Irons, but most of us responded with “holy crap! That’s Kevin Spacey! In a video game!” Years from now, when Advanced Warfare has given birth to five sequels and three spin-offs, I suspect we’ll mostly remember the first entry in the series as “The Kevin Spacey one,” which is almost certainly Activision’s intention.
Celebrities have been popping up in games for decades, sometimes to add publicity to what might otherwise be an obscure release, sometimes as vehicles to push a personally-branded product. Below are some of the most famous faces who became headliners in their own narcissistic gaming epics. We’ve skipped cameos and bypassed the licensed commonplace use of musicians starring in music games, dancers in dancing games, and athletes representing their own leagues. Shaq playing basketball doesn’t count. Shaq laying down the Shaq-Fu? Oh yes, it counts.
