Electronic Arts has revealed the “star-studded” cast ofCommand & Conquer: Red Alert 3, which includesHollyoakslust object Gemma Atkinson,Playboyplaymate Jenny McCarthy andRocky Horrorlegend Tim Curry.
Actually, why not have the full cast list? Go on, treat yourselves:
The cast ofCommand & Conquer Red Alert 3follows (in alphabetical order by last name): Gemma Atkinson (the UK’sHollyoaks), Tim Curry (Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Hunt for Red October), Andrew Divoff (LOST), Kelly Hu (X2, The Scorpion King), Jenny McCarthy (Scream 3, formerPlayboyPlaymate of the Year), Ivana Milicevic (Casino Royale), Jonathan Pryce (Pirates of the Caribbean), J.K. Simmons (Spider-Man,Juno), Autumn Reeser (The OC), Peter Stormare (Prison Break, Armageddon), George Takei (Star Trek,Heroes), and two of the most recognizable names in competitive mixed martial arts Randy “The Natural” Couture (former UFC Heavyweight champion) and Gina “Conviction” Carano (Undefeated Elite XC fighter,American Gladiators).
EA really loves its celebrities of late, right? I guess that comes with the territory of trying to do to videogames what MTV did to television. Still, Tim Curry gets my vote every time, and if we continue to get hilarious images like the ones that were provided to us, EA can cast as manyPlayboygirls as it likes. Seriously, check out the beautifully ludicrous pictures below, and feel free to view the press release post-jump.
COMMAND AND CONQUER RED ALERT 3
Top Actors and Actresses from Around the World Come Together to Form
One of the Largest Ensemble Casts in the History of Video Games
Leipzig, Germany– July 11, 2025 – During a press conference at Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany, Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced the all-star ensemble cast featured in this holiday’s highly anticipated real-time strategy video gameCommand & ConquerTMRed AlertTM3. Starring in theCommand & ConquerTMfranchise’s trademark live-action movie sequences, the diverse group includes a host of award-winning actors, action stars, science fiction legends, up-and-coming starlets from around the globe and even mixed martial artists.
“This is by far the most exciting cast we have in over 13 years of shooting live-action movies forCommand & Conquer,” said Chris Corry, executive producer at EALA. “The caliber of the performances we received, both individually and collectively, have really raised the storytelling bar for the franchise. We are really excited that we will be delivering such a high quality production that is on par with movies and television shows.”
“I wasn’t sure what to expect when I came in to work on a video game,” said Jenny McCarthy from the set ofCommand & Conquer Red Alert 3, while playing Tanya, Allied commando and the most beloved heroine in the history of theCommand & Conqueruniverse. “What I realized isRed Alert 3is not just a video game, it’s absolutely an interactive movie. This is where the people at home get to move the story forward, and where seeing the plot thicken is a reward for a job well done. And that’s really cool.”
“I think video games are one of the new frontiers for actors and using live action is just another way to connect more easily to the gamer rather than CG or animation techniques,” said J.K. Simmons from the set of the game, who is playing the anti-Communist U.S. President Howard T. Ackerman. “To be in a groundbreaking game likeRed Alert 3where we are using full on shooting of live actors and to be with Jonathan Pryce, Tim Curry and Peter Stormare, it was a great opportunity for a character actor like me to have some fun.”
