Half-Life 2 is just like a good action movie. It has a great story, great characters, and great action. The only thing missing is the weird casting choices that are made in many action movies. I think somebody should make a mod that fixes this.

It'd be pretty simple. First, get a skinner to make the faces of a bunch of hollywood actors. Second, we get celebrity impersonators to read the lines for the actors. After that, we replace the faces, plug in the voice, and let the lip sync software do the work. We could possibly even change the script a little to make the voices seem more genuine to the new actors. I think this mod would be pretty funny to see, especially if the right actors are chosen. Here are some suggestions:

Christopher Walken as the G-Man
The G-Man has a weird speech pattern, so let's replace it with Walken's

Christopher Lloyd as Dr. Kleiner
Lloyd is the guy who played Doc Brown in "Back to the Future." How goofy would it be if we had him in HL2. "Your in the future, Gordon!"

Sean Connery as Dr. Breen
This would be awesome. We should add the line "suck it, Trebek" somewhere in the script.

Anyway, I'm out of ideas. Post any more goofy casting ideas that you guys come up with.
 
Or then just find new faces that actually look like the characters.
 
I think the guy who played ferris bueller fits barney (his name escapes me)
 
Dafoe or Walken would do a really good job as the gman
For Gordon I say Edward Norton. (Yes I did get that from that other website that had this up the other day, but I do agree he would make a good Gordon)
 
Christopher Walken, that would sooo rule.

"Wake up Mister...Free...Man...yo, I gotta have more cowbell! You've just been pranked to death with a tire iron!"

No-no-no!!!

Norton is good for all this "boyish-characters in trouble" roles. Figh t Club, 25th hour, Larry Flint, Primal Fear, even the Amaerican History X, Red Dragon, etc... His manner of speech stays the same though all those movies, and it wouldn't be good for Gordon, that's what I think.

Unfortunately, don't have good lead for Gordon... Some say Charlee Sheen, as in The Arrival, but ah... maybe...
