Shawn Fonteno, the actor who portrays Franklin Clinton in GTA 5, has released his first memoir. He talked in the book about his criminal past and life in a bad neighborhood, which allowed him to play the role of Franklin Clinton well in GTA 5 and GTA Online.
I hope my story shows what’s possible to anyone who may be
moving in the same kind of circles I was moving in as a youth.
I’m living proof that you can move past whatever circumstances
you’re in and find a way to make a change and have a positive
impact. I’m blessed to be in this situation and so grateful to
the fans of Rockstar Games who have been so supportive.
