Kevin McKidd, Keith David and More Join Cast of Modern Warfare 2 video game

Glenn Morshower from "TransFormers: Revenge of the Fallen," Turns out, it was the aptly-named General Morshower.

Performing duties also go to Keith David ("They Live" and "The Thing," plus Halo 3, Mass Effect, and plenty more), Barry Pepper (Saving Private Ryan), and Scots actor Kevin McKidd ("Grey's Anatomy" and Lucius Vorenus from HBO's "Rome") plays captain 'Soap' McTavish. Rounding out this lot will be one Craig Fairbrass, who voiced Gaz in the first Modern Warfare, aka Call of Duty 4. He didn't finish out the game in the best of shape, making his return more interesting.

So, a nice, well-rounded cast, I'd say. You know, I used to be more in-touch with who was who in voice acting. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll just be sitting over in the corner, pondering at exactly what point I lost touch with reality.

Modern Warfare 2 has taken a lot of criticism over it's price - in the UK it's £10 more expensive than other console games.

Kevin McKidd also did voice work for Rockstar in Grand Theft auto - Vice City.
