Just found it on 1Up, Michael Hollick, the voice and mo cap man of GTA IV's protagonist Niko Bellic feels a bit bad payed due to the overwhelming success of the game:
"Obviously, I'm incredibly thankful to Rockstar for the opportunity to be in this game when I was just a nobody, an unknown quantity," said Hollick. "But it's tough, when you see Grand Theft Auto IV out there as the biggest thing going right now, when they're making hundreds of millions of dollars, and we don't see any of it." But he goes on: "I don't blame Rockstar. I blame our union for not having the agreements in place to protect the creative people who drive the sales of these games. Yes, the technology is important, but it's the human performances within them that people really connect to, and I hope actors will get more respect for the work they do within those technologies."
Hollick got 100.000$ for 15 months of work. It's not what a Tom Cruise or Arnold Schwarzenegger would get for their movies, but it's still way more than the normal citizen earns. But he's not alone:
