Tim Russ and Robert Picardo are in Fallout 4.
Picardo does a fine job as the Institute scientist who is in charge of synth production; seemed very much like the EMH's role and he seemed to play it that way.
Russ, though... He's a Brotherhood of Steel guy on the Prydwyn and just seems like a more stern version of Tuvok. Not because the role called for it, but because he was just reading lines without any passion behind them. Or wasn't given proper direction (which given some things other VAs who worked on that have said is probably closer to the truth).
Patrick Stewart has also lent his voice to a Bethesda game as Uriel Septim in Oblivion.
Admin Shimmerman is in Starfield and I think it's great because his character there is a billionaire corpo dude which reminds me Quark.
Oh and I can't forget that William Shatner not only gave his voice to, he also literally wrote TekWars.
