And how about Malcolm McDowell
Having bought the game when it came out I really enjoyed the fact that both these actors were in it, even if it required four CD's to play.
I never understood why his counterpart , Harrison Ford, kept on making movies but Mark Hamill mostly stopped after Star Wars.
I know he had a bad car crash but I don't see why that would have stopped him, lots of people would have still wanted to see him on-screen.

I remember when the game came out, we didn't care about swapping discs, it was so cool to have full motion video incorporated into a game.

FYI, for anyone who picked-up this WC3 for free:
Go read about the DosBox configuration file and how to change the settings.
You will probably want to change the FILTER setting, I set mine to "2xsai forced" and it makes things look a little better.
Also if using a modern joystick you want to change your joystick configuration to CHpro, then map your buttons.
I was able to map ship's guns and missiles to separate buttons using the DosBox's built in keymapper. You can hack your throttle and twist (roll) axis to work by mapping them to keyboard commands. Now I can fly with twist-axis controlling my ship's Roll, much better than the default.
