Sean Bean also voices most of Civ 6 and it's glorious. Say what you will about it from a mechanical perspective but I can't find fault with his voice lines. He gets to read some of the greatest quotations from history and for the most part he nails it.
Leonard Nimoy did civ 4
Might just be me enjoying Nimoy in most everything, or maybe ta just that Civ 4 is still the best of the series, but I really liked his lines in that one.
Lots of memorable ones but "the bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy" always sticks out as one of my favorites.

Patrick Stewart and Sean Bean were both in Oblivion. here’s the thing for me, they were playing characters who were not meant to look like the actors.
I often see people shit on Keanu Reeves for wooden acting in Cyberpunk, but I honestly thought he was great as Johnny. Knocked it out of the park imo
I mostly agree with this. I really enjoyed the more insightful, introspective Johnny and there wasn't enough of it. With that being said, I'm a few hours into Phantom Liberty and it seems that we get a lot more of the meaningful conversations with Johnny.
Really? I thought he nailed it too.
TESIV Oblivion is 2006, Tachyon The Fringe is 2000... 1994's Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger has a whole IMDB page, with the likes of Mark Hamill, John Rhys-Davies, and Malcolm McDowell playing main characters.
And there's earlier games with less stellar casts, like 1991's Tex Murphy: Martian Memorandum. Actors in games have been a thing for quite a while.
