Summary
Grand Theft Auto 6wasfinally revealed at the end of 2023, but we’ve had no further information about the title since then. There have been rumors of release dates, delays, cast members, and detailed breakdowns of pretty much every minute detail of the game’s first trailer, but a lot of the official information surrounding the game is still a mystery, including who will play protagonists Lucia and Jason.
Speculation has been rife about Lucia’s actor, with guesses ranging fromLaw & Order actress Ana EspositotoJessica Jones actress Manni L. Perez, but info on Jason’s actor is much less abundant. This is mostly down to his lack of dialogue in the game’s trailer, which was heavily centered on Lucia, but his actor may have now been found, according toinfo from Game Rant.
American actorGregory Connorsis the name put forward by Game Rant, which claims to have seen Connors' resume and the inclusion that he managed to land a “lead” role in a Rockstar title releasing in 2025. We’ll have to take Game Rant’s word for it, as the role in question appears to have already been removed from his resume, but there’s only one title we know of coming from Rockstar with the release window.
Game Rant also notes that Connors has a rather suspicious gap in hisacting credits on IMDB. Connors has been very consistently getting work ever since 2019, though he wasn’t credited in anything during the entirety of 2023. Obviously, development can differ between studios, but it’s not too uncommon for developers to record the voices for characters a couple of years before the game’s release.
We Do Have Some Doubts Though
Unfortunately, there are a couple of things that could potentially rule Connors out as Jason’s actor. One of the biggest points of contention is that he looks nothing like Jason, and Rockstar typically uses the likeness of their actors for their characters. For example, Michael looks a lot like actor Ned Luke, and Trevor also looks a lot like his actor Steven Ogg. We don’t get the greatest look at Jason in GTA 6’s trailer, but they still don’t look all that similar.
There’s also the fact that Connors decided to put the role on his resume in the first place. Rockstar is extremely strict with NDAs, and it’s not difficult to imagine the studio drilling it into the heads of its actors playing the game’s protagonist to not let the cat out of the bag just yet. Obviously, Connors does have a role in GTA 6, and it still could be Jason, but there’s also a possibility he could be playing the game’s main villain, which would still be classed as a “lead” role. Until it’s confirmed, the mystery remains unsolved.
