  1. Trailer Protagonist - Voice Actor

    Now that we've seen the video, if we go on past Grand Theft Auto first trailers we've got the voice of our main character. We've got no idea who he is and the trailer doesn't make it 100% clear who in the video is the one talking. Speculation says it's either the elder man looking over the city (and possibly leading the Rodeo Drive robbery) or the black guy seen a few times throughout the trailer.

    Based on the storyline we can assume it is probably the elder man (talks of family and retiring).

    It seems pretty much confirmed that it's Ned Lukes now. Not a hugely famous actor but an episode of Law and Order SVU and a couple of other bits. The character looks like him down to the mole on his left cheek and it sounds like him aswell.

    One of his actor buddies posting on twitter about him being in the latest GTA.

    And Ned Lukes cousin:

    He has deleted his twitter account now to stop the news getting out, but it's a bit too late.

    Rockstar on Celebrity Voice Actors -

    I remember playing Vice City and thinking [Ray Liotta's] performance was fantastic' date=' but something in the months afterwards when I was playing it was conflicting in my brain: was I playing Tommy Vercetti or was I playing Ray Liotta?...it really sort of caught me off guard, and it kept happening to me. To some extent it left me a bit confused, and it certainly made us resolve for future iterations to dial down the use of famous actors. So if you look at San Andreas, there weren’t as many in that game.[/quote'] - Sam Houser, Rockstar Games

    Potential suggestions -

    • Clifton Collins Jr
    • Ray Liotta
    • Ned Luke

    Clifton Collins Jr Talking

    Ray Liotta Talking

    I don't know how much we can trust IGN but they've claimed to have contact Ray Liotta's agent regarding the video.

    Ray Liotta's voice is not in the trailer. IGN reached out to Liotta's representatives, and they confirmed that the actor's golden pipes aren't in the trailer.

    The Grand Theft Auto III timeline is not necessarily over - but it is a different world to Grand Theft Auto IV - only the branding and certain radio personalities exist across both worlds. The reason for this was that we felt Grand Theft Auto IV was a high-definition experience and required different kinds of characters. That - and the fact that most people from the previous world are dead.

    Anyone have any ideas on who this is?
