Argh! Come on guys, theres no way this can be a coincidence. I'll wager everything I have that Joe will be acting the part as well as providing his likeness. I mean they're all doing it these days...50 Cent, Al Pacino, even Marlon Brando and he's dead.
Then again, considering the quality of the graphics, he'd be unrecognizable by the time they got round to turning him into a character model in the actual game.
