This is one of the all time worst translations of a face to a game by professionals. They turned a beautiful woman into a saggy-cheeked, dull eyed, weak chinned, drowned-rat-haired reporter.
 
Speaking of Troy Baker. I always wondered if he was related to Skinny Pete from Breaking Bad (who's name is Charles Baker).

Someone asked them the question on Twitter and they sort of joked around it without giving an answer.
 
I just have to get this out of the way.

Jackie Chan as Lei

Bruce Lee as Law (and a bunch of others)

GoldfuckingBerg as Marduk

Marduk does Goldberg's finisher, the jackhammer.
Couple of marduk's winposes are a lot like goldberg's mannerisms.

Wesley Snipes as Raven

Mike Tyson as Balrog

Mike Bison is Japan's name for Balrog. They switched the names around in the american version to avoid lawsuit charges.
 
Siren series do this as well. Real actors and models. Flower, Sun & Rain did this also, they even put the models of the game into the intro.

Also, pretty sure that Yoji Shinkawa said that MGS1 Solid Snake's character design in his concept art (facially) was based on Christopher Walken in The Deer Hunter.

Surprised by the lack of Bruce Lee clones from fighting games posted yet like SF, Tekken etc. And Jackie Chan in Tekken too!

Some of the characters in Final Fantasy XV were changed to match the actors/actresses that the CGI models in the FFXV movie Kingsglaive are based on (faces and mo-cap in some cases):

This character might be in the game, too (her name appeared on IMDB for both the movie and game):

Ardyn looks pretty different in the game and movie, though:

I can't find any side by side pictures but the original Siren games on ps2 mapped videos of real people's faces onto the character models.

It looked pretty amazing!
