Line 50:
* In ''[[Dead Rising 2]]'', Carl Schliff is a post man whose order and routine was completely demolished by the chaos of a zombie apocalypse, going rather insane because of it. The actor, Samuel Vincent, played [[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy|Edd]], who has had a nervous breakdown at least once in the show due to order, rules, and basically everything decent to him being disrupted in some way.
* In ''[[BioShock (series)]]'', Rapture founder and capitalist Andrew Ryan is voiced by Armin Shimerman, the same man who portrays somebody who [[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|worships the almighty latinum]].
* ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'' features the voice of Tricia Helfer as the Artificial Intelligence aboard the player's ship, in a universe where self-aware machines have been banned for [[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined(2004 TV series)|trying to destroy humanity.]] The allusion is wonderfully climaxed with the gently delivered line "I enjoy the sight of humans on their knees."
** There's also Michael Beattie, who plays Mordin. At one point, Mordin reveals he was in a [[Gilbert and Sullivan]] production ("Always had me do the patter songs.") and proceeds to break out in song. Beattie was part of the chorus in a television adaptation of [[The Pirates of Penzance]].
** In ''Lair of the Shadow Broker'', Liara and Shepard are outside on a ship during a storm and lightning is useful element during that segment. The lightning may be a visual reference to Lightning Farron, the protagonist of [[Final Fantasy XIII]] who shares Liara's voice actress, [[Ali Hillis]]. They go to rescue Liara's friend, Feron, whose name is pronounced exactly like Lightning's last name.
