* ''[[Coraline (Film)|Coraline]]'' has Dakota Fanning, Teri Hatcher, and Ian McShane on the cast, however they're barely featured on anything other than the behind-the-scenes featurettes.

* ''[[Mass Effect]]'' and ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'' stick mostly with "regular" voice actors for most of their casts, but have a few celebrities in each. [[Seth Green]], Lance Henriksen and [[Star Trek the Next Generation (TV)|Marina Sirtis]] qualify for the [[Mass Effect 1|first game]], and Green is joined by [[Claudia Black]], [[The Matrix|Carrie-Anne Moss]], [[Chuck|Yvonne Strahovski]], [[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined (TV)|Tricia Helfer, Michael Hogan]] and [[Martin Sheen]] in the second.

* Phil Hartman, of course, was this when he voiced Troy McClure, Lionel Hutz, and one-shot characters on ''[[The Simpsons (Animation)|The Simpsons]]''. He's a bit of a subversion, though.
