From what I've seen as someone who doesn't play Fortnite but who has a younger brother who does. Fortnite likes to release skins that are characters from literally any intellectual property they can convice to let them make skins. Think Naruto, Kelsier from the Mistborn Trilogy, Stormtroopers, Ahsoka, All Might, Ant-Man, Jinx and Vi from League of Legends, Ariana Grande, Atom Eve, etc. So having a bunch of voice actors who voiced famous fictional characters together reminds them of something they'd see in Fortnite.

Kelsier

I can't remotely explain why, a weird portmanteau of Frasier and Kelsey maybe, but somehow my brain briefly interpreted that as Frasier, and low key I'd gain a little respect for Fortnite if they had a Frasier Crane skin.

I'd also lose some for Kelsey Grammer, of course. First law of thermodynamics and all.
