Legends in Gaming and Entertainment
There are a lot of highly-popular actors starring in Secret Level that many might recognize from their appearances in video game adaptations, whether TV or film. For example, both Kevin Hart and Ariana Greenblatt starred in the 2024 adaptation of Borderlands as Brock and Tiny Tina, respectively. Meanwhile, Gabriel Luna and Merle Dandridge were in HBO’sThe Last of Usas Tommy and Marlene (who also voiced the character in the 2013 game). Later this year, Keanu Reeves, who some fans caught on early about his appearance in the Secret Level trailer at around the 50-second mark, is set to star as Shadow the Hedgehog inSonic the Hedgehog 3in December.
Even still, there are some actors who are no stranger to voice acting in video games. Of course, the legendary Laura Bailey, famous for her plethora of roles like Mary-Jane Watson inMarvel’s Spider-Man, Kait Diaz inGears of Warand Abby inThe Last of Us Part II. Previously-mentioned Merle Dandridge was the voice of the lovable sidekick Alex inHalf-Life II, Claudia Doumit played specialist Farrah in the newer Call of Duty: Modern Warfare titles, and Keanu Reeves gave life to Johnny Silverhand inCyberpunk 2077. And, of course, who can forget Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator in many of his video game releases…or the dozens of action blockbusters he did in the ’90s.
The only time Arnold Schwarzenegger played a character other than one portrayed on screen with Predator and Terminator was, well, himself in Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff
I do find it interesting that there are two sets of father-child duos in the cast, with Arnold and Patrick Schwarzenegger and Kevin and Heather Hart. My money is weirdly on it being Spelunky, but it’s sure to be a fun one to watch. Still, there will be a lot for gamers of all genres to enjoy, with many of the IPs having had recently released titles like New World: Aeternum, Warhammer 40,000 and the short-livedConcord.
Prime Video’s Secret Level will premiere with two weekly episode drops starting on December 10. More information can be found on Blur Studio’sofficial site.
