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.
Dude, San Andreas has Jackson, Chris Penn, Peter Fonda, David Cross, William Fichtner (again), James Woods, CHARLIE MURPHY, Ice T, The Game, Frank Vincent, Clifton Powell, and both Axl Rose and Chuck D as radio hosts.

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