Which actor's appearances were used to create GTA 6 characters (speculation)

The faces and figures of many modern video game characters are based on the appearance of specific actors. Using motion capture technology, it is converted into digital form and superimposed on 3D models. At the moment, it is unknown who exactly became the prototype for Jason, Lucia and other characters of the sixth GTA. However, fans are already actively making assumptions and putting forward hypotheses. We have collected the most convincing of them in this article.

It is worth noting that Rockstar often invited artists to voice characters and create appearances. For example, Tommy Vercetti in Vice City was voiced by Ray Liotta, who is known for the films Goodfellas, Hannibal and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. And in San Andreas, the role of the main villain, Officer Tenpenny, was played by Samuel Leroy Jackson, who starred in Star Wars, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Quentin Tarantino films. It is also worth noting that Vladimir Mashkov was planned to play Niko Belik, but he refused.

However, in the case of GTA 6, we are talking about little-known actors. Apparently, for them, working with Rockstar will be the peak of fame.

Let's start with the main character. Lucia is a native of Liberty City, who served time in prison and was released on parole. However, the girl is not going to quit crime, but is already developing new plans.

According to fans, she was played by actress Manni L. Perez. In addition to the obvious external resemblance, one detail can be noted — in 2021, during a podcast, she said that she was working on a major project. However, the artist could not voice the details due to her reluctance to violate the terms of the contract. 4 years have passed since then, and no serious work with Manni has come out, if you do not take into account little-known TV series. Perhaps they were really talking about GTA 6.

You could see the actress in such shows as Jessica Jones, The Blacklist and Blindspot.

The second protagonist is Jason, Lucia's boyfriend. He is directly connected to the criminal business of Vice City — he works as a collector, smuggles illegal goods and participates in robberies. But his girlfriend clearly wants more, and the guy is not against being her partner in business.

Fans of the series and some insiders claim that Jason was played by Dylan Rourke. You may have noticed this actor in the series "9-1-1: Lone Star", "Station 19", "Modern Family" and "Grey's Anatomy".

At one time, there were rumors that Jason would be voiced by Troy Baker, known for his role as Joel from The Last of Us duology. But he personally denied this information.

A man who has been transporting illegal substances for many years. He used to transport them himself, but now he prefers to entrust this work to other people. The man allowed Jason to live in one of his houses, but as a favor to Brian, he demanded that our hero shake money out of those who owe Brian.

Fans have found similarities between Jason's boss and actor Stephen Root. He had small roles in the films "No Country for Old Men" and "Ghost", as well as in the TV series "The Big Bang Theory" and "The Book of Boba Fett".

Jason's friend who spends his days and nights on the Internet. But the guy is busy — he listens to Coast Guard communications and, if necessary, passes information to criminals.

According to many, his role was played by Dana Snyder. You could hear the voice of this artist in many cartoons, from "SpongeBob SquarePants" to "Adventure Time with Finn & Jake". Sometimes he also appears in TV series, for example, in "ER".

A crime boss who was able to legalize some of his business. At the start of the game, he owns strip clubs, a recording studio, and other real estate in Vice City. But all of this is an excellent cover for his criminal activities, which are related to drug trafficking.

There is speculation that Boobie Ike was played by Kevin Hanchard. He appeared in the TV series "Ginny & Georgia", Wayne, Cardinal, and Suits.

A bootlegger who has decided to make a name for himself in the music industry. He has already signed a contract with the group Real Dimez and is confident that their tracks will be played at every discotheques in Vice City.

His appearance resembles that of actor Reggie Talley. He starred in the series "Blue Bloods", "Bull", and "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel".

A seasoned bank robber. He has a sharp mind and is constantly looking for new accomplices who are willing to take risks for the sake of big loot. His plans seem too brazen, so not everyone will agree to work with Raul.

This seasoned criminal may have been played by Oscar Jaenada. The actor has appeared in "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides", "The Shallows" and "Rambo: Last Blood".

A hip-hop group consisting of two girls, Roxy and Baylux. Their songs with daring lyrics attract the attention of listeners. In addition, they recently signed a contract with the label Only Raw Records, so they hope that the popularity of Real Dimez will soon reach a new level.

According to fans, the real prototype for this group was the Miami duo City Girls. At the time of writing, they have released three albums, and the story of their success served as the basis for the series "Rap Sh!t", which was broadcast on HBO Max.
