The 72-year-old actor was chosen to be the stealth video game's next target after an online vote to pick your favourite celebrity to bump off.

Following the successful online campaign, where fans of the game were asked to 'Choose Your Hit', and vote on who would appear as a special target, Gary received more votes than fellow Hollywood star Gary Cole.

As a result, the 'Point Break' star will appear on the game as a special Elusive Target called "The Wildcard" for seven days from July 21.

Elusive Targets only remain in the game for a period of time and players will only get one chance to take them down, unlike the game's campaign.

The new feature appears to be working well for the game's developer, IO Interactive, as players anguish over their single chance to bring down a target.

The first game in the 'Hitman' series was released in 2000, and the story revolves around Agent 47 (usually simply referred to as "47" or "Mr. 47"), a cloned assassin-for-hire, whose flawless record places him in high demand among the wealthy and elite.

The assassin's eyes are on poor Gary now.
