The recent release of the Rocky game started me thinking. Which actor has had his likeness appear in the most games? (And when I mean likeness I mean the character in the game is supposed to be his character in a movie, it doesn't have to really look like him.)
Arnold the Governor: Terminator games, Total Recall, True Lies, Last Action Hero
Bruce Willis: Fifth Element, Apocalypse, Hudson Hawk, Die Hard games
Harrison Ford: Indiana Jones games, Star Wars games
It's a close race between those three, any other contenders?

Like you said, Sty has appeared in Rocky but in Rambo, Cliffhanger, Demolition Man, too. I haven't played a Driven game so I can't call that one for sure. Oh, and he's been Judge Dredd, does that count? LOL

What about all of those James Bond games "starring" Pierce Brosnan?

Does it count if the games were released before the movies?
If it does, then Angelina Jolie should be way up there, just for Tomb Raider!

Judge Dredd on the SNES and Genesis? Sure it does! Good game.

Actually his face is only in Goldeneye and Everything or Nothing. NIghtfire uses his voice but the face is totally different.
Jackie Chan's been in a few games as well... Action Kung Fu, Stunt Master, Adventures, Drunken Master (Japan only PC Engine game) and Around the World in 80 Days.

Come to think of it, Dalton's been in a few games (The Duel comes to mind) too. Or at least one.

Not really an actor, but John Madden has got to be up there.

How about Shaq?
He acted "Kazam" and he's in tonna sports games. And has Shaq Fu for various systems.
I didnt say he was a good actor, but he acted.

I don't think any of the characters in FFVIII were intended to BE Gackt. :roll:
The game you're talking about is Bujingai.

I'd say so... add that to the multiple Star Wars games... and boom... lots of damn game screen time.

What about actors who really are as themself? Carmen Elektra is now in Celebrity Death Match, NFL 2K5, and ... Def Jam Vendetta 2?! :hmm:

Wow, that's true. Harrison Ford, then, would be in quite a few SW games; not nearly as many games overall, though!

Yeah, but factor in Indiana Jones, and I think we have a winner.

Yeah, I'm having a hard time thinking of someone topping Harrison Ford. Off the top of my head, for Indiana Jones ALONE:
Raiders of the Lost Ark (2600)
Temple of Doom (Arcade/NES)
Temple of Doom (I think there was an action PC game)
Last Crusade (NES)
Last Crusade - Action (PC)
Last Crusade - Adventure (PC)
Fate of Atlantis - Action (PC)
Fate of Atlantis - Adventure (PC)
Desktop Adventure (PC)
Infernal Machine (PC, N64)
and I think like two more semi-recent 3D games, right?
EDIT: Was Ford's character in the Blade Runner game? There's another one.

Nah, Ford wasn't in the Blade Runner Game, sadly. To be honest, the guy in his place looked...nothing like a hardend Blade Runner.

I'm not sure Ford was in Shadows of the Empire (likeness only, though). Can't remember where that would've been, but I have a feeling...I'm 100% that Hammil's visage is in the game, though.

Hmm, it looks really shitty on the PS2 version then. The graphics are good but the face doesn't look right.

I'd say Bruce Lee. Isn't his "likeness" used an awful lot?
I don't need to even mention all the games.

The Super Nintendo's interpretation of Michael Keaton.
And Lethal Weapon on the SNES has lots of snaps of Mel Gibson, Danny Glover and Joe Pesci.
