Holy crap voice acting! (Destiny)

I'm sure I'm in the minority here but I've always felt that celebrity voice actors are pointless. I can think of countless examples of amateurs who delivered excellent performances and celebrities who either phoned it in or were just tepid. Dinklage of course is the 800 pound gorilla in the room when you talk about that but, to me it feels like lots of times studios just cast big names for the sake of casting big names, rather than seeking the objectively best candidate.

I think the real problem is that nearly all of these voice actors are criminally underused. Claudia Black is just there to see if for some reason I want to grab a fourth EV-30 Tumbler. That's just wrong.
