Roughly 6 years later, Ray became an actual guest voice actor in the episode "What Ever Happened to SpongeBob?", as a leader of a gang who were about to beat up SpongeBob.

    The fact that he wasn't even a gamer but agreed to do Vice City makes me like him even more. Most non-gamer actors would've looked down on the idea of doing a video game in those days. Even ones no where near his level. He knew a good role when he saw it and didn't let prejudices sway him. He was a legend.

I just feel taking music and movies star, which are both very different entertainment mediums in their own right and then putting them into a video game, also a very different medium from the other two, just makes for bad business putting them together. All three have different ways of negotiating business and payment is also a huge difference between the three.

But it appears Rockstar did a better job in GTA 5 considering all the voice actors are probably the first to actually end their contract with Rockstar on a good note. Hopefully Rockstar has learned their lesson otherwise actors will probably turn their gigs down. GTA is so popular now and the highest grossing media of all time, there is no way they can hide their compensation and revenue now.

    Ray’s an icon. Every summer as a kid, my ‘ol man ran a bus trip to Yankee Stadium, generally with the same crowd of rowdy Italian-Americans, and the bus had TVS. So, Goodfellas became a yearly staple (first on VHS, then DVD) on the bus and a crowd favorite. It was usually when the adults were just getting good and drunk and just before arriving to the stadium. They always loved the mailman in the oven scene, the restaurant/laughing scene, and Tommy and Henry coming home drunk to Karen and her parents house. I’ll never forget those trips

    I bet they barely knew how huge of a hit Vice City was, I have known people who can barely speak English or barely watch Hollywood movies play that game, anyone with access to a PC or console from that Era had to have Vice City on it, Many people including me praise GTA SA for how amazing it was but it was actually Vice City that brought the whole GTA Franchise to whole another level of fame, but obviously all of this wouldn't be possible without OG GTA and especially GTA3 for the game engine and mechanics

      @@merkcityboy834 left after Red Dead. Personally I'm not excited for 6. Since most the top talent has left it means two things. Story won't be as good. Houser had unique writing. It's going to be an imitation. Also when Rockstar went to Take 2, Housers were keeping money grubbers from fucking up the art. It's why their games took awhile.
      Red Dead was unique in many ways. GTA in my opinion is over. I do still know people who work there though.
      Oh one more thing. Housers had a music background. So good music would make it above money makers.... I fear for the entire industry because of money.

    • @voteZDLR
      @voteZDLR Рік тому +1

      Yeah I remember seeing it in theaters too and I had no idea what to expect going into it. And that movie is the definition of something where going into it not knowing anything about it is the ONLY way to do it, one of those movies where the idea of "spoiler warning" became a thing. To have something like that ruined before seeing it would completely destroy the experience of seeing it. The ending is truly unique, even in the thriller genre where twist endings are the bread and butter of the entire genre.

    • @DOSkywalkR
      @DOSkywalkR Рік тому

      I didn't see it in the theatre, but when it was new on TV, also didn't know anything about the ending. It was truly a surprise! I think I found it weird then, but still interesting. but I was a teenager, looking back it's a pretty good idea. I should watch it again, I think I only saw it once. If not only for younger John Cusack, who was still picky about his roles as opposed to now, and John C. McGinley (Dr. Cox from Scrubs).

      That role was just too perfect. Things like that happen very rarely in life esp in movies. That’s why movies and music like will last centuries after their made, and the ppl who were involved hold a place in the fans heart cause it reminds them of their childhood life. I know it does with me, in good and bad ways cuz it sent me in the wrong path for a min but all lessons in life everybody has to learn
