Game: Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
Star: Ray Liotta
Famous for: Goodfellas
Also starring: Dennis Hopper, Burt Reynolds, Deborah Harry

The GTA cast list reads like a who's who of film and music talent. Casting Ray Liotta (best known for his role in Muppets from Space... oh, and something called Goodfellas) as Tommy Vercetti was a masterstroke, raising the bar for not only cut-scene quality, but also production values in games as a whole. The trend continued with San Andreas, with Samual L. Jackson and Ice-T among the cast. Obviously when you've got as much money from wild sales success as Rockstar and a game so popular everyone and his dog wants to be in it, getting talent like this on board is easy. But very much worth the effort, we're sure you'll agree.

Above: Ray Liotta's superb performance of Tommy Vercetti made a fantastic game even better
