Ricky Gervais Featured in GTA IV
First it was movie tie-ins, then it was actual actors doing in-game voice overs. Now Rockstar is setting a new precedent by having an actor perform brand new material within Grand Theft Auto IV. Ricky Gervais, the genius behind the UK version of The Office and HBO’s Extras, will be featured somewhere in the game, due out next week.
“It’s a first—which always interests me…” said Gervais, “Games have outsold Hollywood for the past few years so it’s nice to be a small part of that.” Gervais also said that he will be hidden somewhere else within Liberty City, but of course didn’t say where.
