Game: Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness (PS2, PC)
Star: Joss AcklandasPieter Van Eckhardt
Best known for: Loads of films including Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey
Ever see Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey? Remember Chuck De Nomolos, the evil dude who made the evil robot Bill and evil robot Ted? That was Joss Ackland, who has starred in over 130 films, including Lethal Weapon 2. But apparently he reckons Bill & Ted was 'awful'. We disagree. In fact, he told British TV listings/lifestyle mag The Radio Times "I do an awful lot of crap, but if it's not immoral, I don't mind. I'm a workaholic." That would explain Angel of Darkness, then.
