With the ever-growing prominence of animated films and TV shows, voice acting has become a part of some of our most popular media. Video games almost always rely on voice acting to bring a wide array of stories to life, and sometimes, they utilize the talents of some of Hollywood’s biggest stars. Gamers love Easter eggs, and famous people voicing video game characters are always the most fun.

In a special case like HBO’s upcoming series The Last of Us, the original video game’s two voice stars went on to play characters in the live-action adaptation. But this article focuses on the more common trend, though it doesn’t happen enough: Actors going on to voice their movie characters in video games based on the movie or franchise they originally starred in. Some of our highlights below may not surprise you, but others probably will. Take a look!

6 A Bug’s Life — Hayden Panettiere (Dot)

     Walt Disney Pictures

Sure, Toy Story and The Incredibles may be Pixar’s crowd-favorites, but what about that 1998 gem of a film? A Bug’s Life was such a hit that it spawned its own video game, which was released for various systems in 1998 and in 1999. The game’s storyline is similar to that of the film, with a few changes. After completing levels, the player can unlock clips from the film. You play the role of Flik, the purple ant from the acclaimed film, but the fun-loving Dot character is also featured. Remember the Titans star Hayden Panettiere voiced Dot in both the film and video-game adaptation. See Panettiere next in Scream 6, as she reprises her role from the fourth installment.

5 Kick-Ass: The Game — Chloë Grace Moretz (Hit Girl)

     Universal Pictures

Award-winning actor Chloë Grace Moretz started acting when she was seven years old, going on to nab starring roles in 500 Days of Summer, Let Me In, and Carrie. Perhaps her most defining Hollywood moment to date was when she starred in the ultraviolent dark comedy Kick-Ass, playing a foul-mouthed crime-fighter with Oscar-winner Nicolas Cage playing her dad. Moretz went on to reprise her role of Hit Girl for Kick-Ass: The Game.

4 LEGO Marvel Avengers — Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury)

     Marvel Studios

One of the top, crowd-favorite Marvel Avenger characters doesn’t even really fight crime with superpowers. Enter Nick Fury, played by the notorious Samuel L. Jackson. He even lent his instantly recognizable voice to a best-selling video-game franchise. LEGO® Marvel’s Avengers lets users experience the legendary superhero characters and storylines from the critically-acclaimed films in their ongoing quest to save the world.

“I was never going to let the Oscars be a measure of my success or failure as an actor," Jackson once told Variety. “My yardstick of success is my happiness: Am I satisfied with what I’m doing? I’m not doing statue-chasing movies. You know… ‘If you do this movie, you’ll win an Oscar.’ No, thanks. I’d rather be Nick Fury. Or having fun being Mace Windu with a lightsaber in my hand.”

3 Frozen Games — Kristen Bell (Anna)

Back in 2013, Frozen made its way into theaters and became a global sensation that eventually became the highest-grossing animated movie of all time. That record has since been broken, but it’s an indication of how huge the movie was and how popular the characters from the movie became. In the film, The Good Place star Kristen Bell voiced the character Anna, who became loved by millions of fans around the world. Bell was a perfect fit for the character, and the singing voice that she provided gave the character a massive boost in overall appeal. The seemingly universally loved actor went to voice Anna in the Frozen video games as well.

“There’s something inside all of us that feels so vulnerable and powerful … especially in kids,” Bell once told NPR about voicing a character who exhibits vulnerability and power at the same time. “They feel so vulnerable because they’re often the smallest person in the room. They’re slower than everyone else. They don’t know everything. And yet they have a spirit of growth and they feel their own power.”

2 Hellboy: The Science of Evil — Ron Perlman (Hellboy)

     Columbia Pictures

The latest reboot of the Dark Horse Comics antihero franchise may have been a dud, but let’s not forget Oscar-winner Guillermo del Toro’s film additions during the 2000s. And then came Hellboy: The Science of Evil, the video game adapted from the 2004 film. The addictive game features three playable characters: Hellboy, Abe Sapien, and Liz Sherman. The game was even co-created under the creative direction of del Toro himself. Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, and Doug Jones reprise their roles from the film as Hellboy, Liz Sherman and Abe Sapien, respectively, providing voice-overs. Check it out!

1 Batman Games — Mark Hamill (The Joker)

     DC Entertainment

For some, the knowledge that Mark Hamill has been the voice of The Joker for nearly 30 years might come as a surprise. Indeed, Star Wars’ Luke Skywalker himself also provides the voice and twisted laugh of one of Gotham City’s most nefarious villains — not just in animated films like Batman: The Killing Joke, but also in video-games like the Batman: Arkham series and a handful of other DC projects. Hamill has also contributed to other video games, like the Darksiders franchise. The actor’s involvement in the Arkham series certainly put the games on the map in the eyes of fans, and helped secure the games as beloved additions to The Dark Knight’s canon.
