Well many of the movie-goers won't be as familiar with the game as most of us are, so I really don't think the voice would have to be a perfect match. Although I haven't seen the Riddick-series, I would think that Vin Diesel would do a good job as Irenicus. He has the look and the physical build, and some minor coaching could get rid of his street-style accent and teach him to talk in a low, menacing tone.
