GTA 5 Cast Offers Advice to GTA 6 Leads

Actors from prior Grand Theft Auto titles have offered guidance to the performers playing Jason and Lucia before GTA 6 launches. Their comments highlight the demands of the role, the need for genuine fan appreciation, and the lasting connection players form with earlier characters. The remarks come as Rockstar ramps up promotion for the November 19 release.

Advice from GTA 5 and San Andreas Stars

Young Maylay, who voiced CJ, told the new leads to enjoy the experience. Shawn Fonteno, Franklin’s actor, advised them to follow Rockstar’s direction while preparing for an extended period in the spotlight. Ned Luke, who played Michael, stressed that authentic gratitude toward fans is essential because the audience sustains the franchise.

Young Maylay noted that each GTA protagonist retains a dedicated following even after new entries arrive. He described meeting both longtime fans and younger players, observing that the next cast will similarly grow alongside its audience rather than displace earlier characters.

Differing View from Trevor’s Actor

Steven Ogg previously expressed detachment from GTA 6, stating he feels nothing because he does not play games. He suggested a dramatic send-off for Trevor as a way to acknowledge fans and hand the series to the next generation.

Ongoing GTA 6 Marketing Activity

Rockstar has staged a Vice City-themed activation in Miami that includes large promotional displays and a partnership with the Miami Heat. The basketball team will wear Vice City uniforms for its November 18 game, and fans at the arena can visit a Burger Shot location inside the venue.
