Non-Actor Vehicle: Difference between revisions

* Video game example: Colin McRae and [[Nicky Grist]] gained mainstream popularity through the ''[[Colin McRae Rally]]'' games since the late 90s. Grist, whose voice became a fixture of many a sim racing fan, later branched out as a presenter and occasional colour commentator for rallying events in the 2000s.

* In another video game example, Young Maylay had no prior acting experience before he voiced Carl Johnson in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]''. He is glad that the game brought him into mainstream recognition, but he felt frustrated about being more associated with playing the role of CJ than his rapping career. It later culminated into a furious tirade against Rockstar after he has had enough of fans who kept on pestering him about starring in the next GTA. While Maylay's rants were criticized by many as being immature and unprofessional, his cousin Shawn Fonteno (who voiced a gang member in ''San Andreas'' and later starred in ''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]'') acknowledged and understood Maylay's sentiments, while at the same time left a more level-headed and reasonable response to the issue.
