When a game developer tells you they've recruited Hollywood talent for their new project, brace for impact. Simply hiring a talented actor does not mean that your voicework is going to be pitch-perfect. Especially when all you do is place them in front of your script (read: Excel spreadsheet), tape their first read-through, then call it a day thirty minutes later.

Games Radar has put together a collection of video clips that feature top-priced Hollywood talent like Christopher Walken and David Duchovny phoning in some awful performances on their day off. You can almost hear them saying, Are we done?
