GTA 6 leaks: The cast
The cast list of GTA 6 hasn’t been released yet, but already fans are discussing their theories at length for who voices the franchise’s first female protagonist (technically she’s the third because there were female avatars in the first GTA but as far as I’m concerned, “avatars” do not equal “protagonist”).
Lucia is one of possibly two playable protagonists in GTA 6 and some fans think she’s voiced by Natalie Morales, who you’d recognize as Lucy Santo Domingo from Parks & Rec. It makes sense, as Morales was born in Miami, Florida, and is of Cuban descent.
Another voice fans are throwing around is Michelle Rodriguez, most famous for the Fast & Furious film franchise—yeah, this one makes sense, too. We do also have to point out the frenzy around Leslie Lluvet, an actor who voiced Zenia from Far Cry 6, who was being bombarded by fans online. “Im getting bombared with message on the New grand theft auto game. I’m not lucia y’all. I’m Zenya [sic] from @farcry_6_game stop messaging me people lol @farcrygame,” she tweeted.
Rockstar doesn’t usually hire “famous” actors, however, so Morales and Rodriguez are unlikely candidates for the role of Lucia. For 2002’s Vice City, Ray Liotta and Burt Reynolds voiced the characters Tommy Vercetti and Avery Carrington, while Gary Busey played Phil Cassidy. Houser recalled having an argument with Reynolds about the direction of a scene from 2002’s Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, which ended with Reynolds yelling, “Get the limey out of here.”
“I don’t want to speak ill of the dead, poor bugger,” Houser told Vulture in 2018, “but we don’t bring in name actors anymore because of their egos and, most important of all, because we believe we get a better sense of immersion using talented actors whose voices you don’t recognize.”
As for Jason (although we’re not sure that’s his name), TV star Bryan Zampella, who has recently appeared on Westworld, Criminal Minds, and NCIS: Los Angeles, has been rumored to voice the second lead character. Not all fans are convinced, though. One Reddit subthread thinks that it’s none other than The Last of Us‘ Troy Baker, who voiced Joel in the first and second games. A true legend of the industry, but unlikely.
