It's no different than putting famous people in movie voice acting roles. If they can voice act well it works (Eartha Kitt as Yzma) but often it's just a sad attempt at generating hype (Chris Pratt as Mario).

Speaking of aging, does anyone remember Kevin Spacey in Call of Duty? That aged well right gang!
