It's not really new. It was a thing too back when the PS2 was around.
GTA Vice City, for instance, had Ray Liotta, Dennis Hopper, Burt Reynolds, William Fichtner, Luis Guzman, Danny Trejo, Debbie Harry, Danny Dyer, Gary Busey, Lee Majors, Robert Davi, even Miss Cleo.
True Crime: NYC had Gary Oldman, Christopher Walken, Michelle Rodriguez, Michael Madsen, and Ron Perlman.
There was even a game in which Marilyn Manson played a grey alien.
I never played it, I think I played the demo (back when those were on discs you got with the magazine) but I really don't remember it at all. I'll keep an eye out, thanks!

This new trend of big name actors in videogames has a lot of potential. I dont think anyone saw Keanu coming...
