Celebrities you discovered via gaming who are known for other things

[StaceyPowers]

Are there any celebrities you became familiar with via gaming who most people would have expected you to know from other things? For example, I became aware of Felicia Day through her voice acting, despite her being much better known for other stuff she’s done.

Playing PES made me to discover popular commentators like Jon champion and Jim begln. While, Alan Smith and Martin Tyler being FIFA franchise series commentators. I came to know them playing games, I never knew they've played soccer as a player before, and they are well-known celebrities in the game too.

There are so many of them such as 

1. Kit Harrington of Game of Thrones (Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare). 

2. Ashley Johnson who played as Ellie in The Last of Us. 

3. Rami Malekb who played as Josh in the horror game Until Dawn where he invited 8 of his friends to lodge in Blackwood Mountain where his sister disappeared and they all ended up being trapped in there.

Definitely! I discovered Nolan North through gaming, but later realized he’s famous for other roles. His voice work is iconic!

Same here with Felicia Day. I knew her first from her work on Dragon Age: Redemption and her voice in Fallout: New Vegas before I found out she was such a big name in The Guild and other projects. Gaming tends to introduce me to people before I realize how famous they actually are.
