Could LA Noire's face scan tech lead to real actors playing videogame roles

I don't really see that happening.  Actors helping with facial expressions and very accurate gameplay, yes.  Actual celebrities being in games...why, when game characters are cool already?

I could see publishers like EA and activision finding the prospect of having big name stars attached to games being very attractive. Just like movie studios demand big name actors in staring roles to help sell movies.
