The stars behind GTA 5’s Franklin, Michael, and Trevor, along with the voice of CJ from San Andreas, were asked if they had any advice for the actors playing GTA 6’s Jason and Lucia now that the game is almost here.
The long wait for GTA 6 is almost over. After 13 years, the game is finally set to release on November 19 in one of the biggest (and potentially most expensive) pop culture moments in history.
Knowing just how passionate Rockstar’s fanbase can be, actors who starred in previous games in the franchise shared their words of wisdom with the as-yet unannounced actors who are playing Jason and Lucia, the dual protagonists of GTA 6, in an interview with All Out Gaming at MCM Comic Con.
“Have fun,” CJ’s actor, Young Maylay, said.
“To be honest, just listen to what Rockstar says,” Shawn ‘Solo’ Fonteno, famous for playing Franklin in GTA 5, added. “They’re gonna lead you in the right direction. … But get ready. That’s all I can say, is get ready. It’s a ride that they’re gonna be on for a while.”
Young Maylay continued, remarking on how the GTA games have garnered dedicated fanbases from multiple generations of players. “We’ll always be the characters that we are, and for the generation of kids who are coming up, you’re gonna have certain brackets,” he said.
“Right now, I got all the OGs. Everybody coming in my line — you catch some youngsters, but you got guys with the grey hair coming in saying, ‘Hey man! You’re the guy, CJ!’ And they [gesturing to the GTA 5 cast] have all the youngsters right now. So, during this time period, you’re gonna grow with your fanbase. It’s not like everything’s gonna get shut down by you guys [speaking of GTA 6]… we’ll always be those characters, and you can’t take that from us.”
Ned Luke, who played Michael De Santa in GTA 5, urged the upcoming stars to be grateful for the game’s fans. “Just make sure that you appreciate the fans. Let the fans know… fake appreciation, they can smell it. You have to really appreciate them, genuinely, because what we have is because of them. If you don’t have the fans, you don’t got nothin’. They’re the game, and that’s the bottom line,” he imparted.
