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.
Long-Term Fan Connections Across Generations

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.
