Mark Hamill was fantastic in both WC3 and 4. Both games had other stellar actors as well—John Rhys-Jones, Malcolm Dowell, etc. At times, the acting rivaled that found in a mainstream move. On an aside: Star Wars: Jedi Knight (first game) also had acting that rivaled that of the original Star Wars movies. In comparison, Jedi Knight 2 (released in the early 2000s) had blocky 3D cutscenes, similar to other games of the time. What a bummer.

My immediate impression of all Malcom McDowell characters is “they must be evil” until we learn more about them through the plot of a movie. All because he was evil in WC3. And that’s my touchstone for him.

It really made for a head scratcher for how bad the movie was.

Acting in JK was hit and miss IMO, or maybe it was writing or directing. Either way, I don't recall it being well received. Still, I'm glad they tried and yet also glad they went back to CG. BTW, OpenJKDF2 is a nice way to play today, with some modern enhancements.

  Too bad he couldn't have at least a Golden Globe for that role or something.

Don't forget about Ginger Lynn. She was great in WC and all of her other films.

What a bummer. But much, MUCH better lightsaber fighting.
