Franklin, Michael, Trevor, and CJ's Voice Actors Pass Down Fame Survival Tips to GTA 6's Newcomers
Written by the GTA6 Resources team
The people who played Franklin, Michael, Trevor, and CJ know exactly what kind of life-altering attention is about to hit the unknown actors behind Jason and Lucia -- and they wanted to say something before it does.
According to IGN, the actors behind GTA 5's Franklin, Michael, and Trevor, along with the voice of CJ from San Andreas, were asked for advice aimed at whoever is playing Jason and Lucia in GTA 6. The question came as the game's launch closes in and as the identities of its two lead performers remain officially unconfirmed. One piece of advice highlighted in the excerpt centers on a simple but pointed idea: appreciate the fans.
It's a small moment in the broader press cycle, but a telling one. These are actors who lived through GTA 5 becoming one of the best-selling entertainment products in history, and who have spent the better part of a decade being recognized, quoted, and scrutinized for performances tied to a game that never stopped selling. Their perspective on fame isn't theoretical -- it's lived experience being handed forward to the next pair of actors about to inherit that same spotlight.
That handoff is especially notable given how much mystery still surrounds Jason and Lucia's actors. As recent casting chatter and even a livestream comment section turning into an impromptu interrogation over Lucia's casting have shown, fans are hungry for any confirmation of who's behind the characters, even as Rockstar and the cast itself stay quiet. One supporting actor has already confirmed his role publicly while the two leads remain unnamed, which only seems to be intensifying the guessing game.
Zooming out, this kind of advice-passing also underscores just how different the discourse around GTA has become compared to when GTA 5 launched in 2013. Back then, Franklin, Michael, and Trevor's actors stepped into fame gradually, without today's instant social media amplification, leak culture, or SNL sketches already referencing their unannounced characters. Whoever plays Jason and Lucia will likely face a much faster, more intense version of that same journey the moment launch day confirmation happens.
For fans, stories like this are a reminder that GTA 6's cultural footprint extends well beyond gameplay leaks, marketing stunts, and release-date countdowns. The people voicing and performing as Jason and Lucia are about to become public figures overnight, and the cast that came before them is trying to make sure they're ready for it.
