Of course, the downside there is that's how we wound up getting things like Nolan North, Troy Baker, and Laura Bailey being in every other game. Once you've got a rep for being good and for being easy to work with, you'll probably get a lot of calls. Especially because a lot of casting directors probably talk behind the scenes.

A lot of gate keeping in the VA world. The ones who get all the roles realized gate keeping will keep them employed. I hope AI knocks them down a few pegs tbh.

One thing to keep in mind with Steven Ogg is that he's kind of bitter about the fact that he tried to be a serious actor for years and no one gave a shit, and then Trevor of all characters made him famous.

For a while after, he was really wary of getting typecast (which was probably a valid fear, because he mentioned not getting certain roles because the casting directors didn't want "the guy who played Trevor").

Same thing happened with CJ's voice actor in GTA:SA. He wanted to be considered a rapper, but ended up in the shadow of GTA forever. But I think actors playing roles in (modern) Rockstar games need to realize that this role will be the biggest thing they'll ever do. Sure it's not a blockbuster movie, or gets them the Oscar. Which lowers the prestige, but there's endless struggling actors that would kill to have a major role in a Rockstar game now, even if its the only big thing they ever do. But they need to also realize is it won't springboard them into mainstream acting because it's a different mountain peak, on a different range, on another planet.

It was weird hearing Captain Picard in Oblivion.

And Sean Bean. But I think they blew 3/4 of the VO budget on those two because the game has like 8 voice actors.

not only is this not exclusive to modern bands, but it's more prevalent in older bands from the 70s/80's

I should've explained that 'modern music' to me is anything from the 60s onward. Bands that effectively became a brand, or had a couple small hits in the 80s and some how still exist with one or none original members from their core years.

wait what, I thought you died

the hell you mean?

Nothing ever ends when it comes to modern music bands. They'll find a way to keep going/keep the brand alive to keep the cash going. Until you end up with a literal cover band with the official name.
