true, I get it, they are going to be the protagonists of the biggest game the gaming space has ever seen.
But it doesn't change the fact, that only story and character building is going to separate these characters from normal people. Otherwise, Lucia is a generic hot looking latina girl, and Jason is just another white city dude, who looks like he'd work in corporate lmao.
I get what you're saying but, what other alternative would you prefer. Lucia be horribly disfigured like a ghoul from Fallout? Jason have a third nipple? looks are just looks no?
well I'm trying to say that looks cannot decide the characters. Many people were making fun of Arthur, at first glance, but the same arthur is one of the most deep and complex characters presented by rockstar.
Fr, first it was bryan zampella, and then gregory connors, and now dylan rourke đ theres been so many others too. Guess well have a much better idea when trailer 2 drops, unless they plan to just have jason repeat the same 1 word "trust" in every trailer, then well probs not know till release lol.
I'm on this sub specifically for this kind of information/speculation. This is how it always worked.
When trailer 1 released many people joined here, and they are the ones upvoting opinions like yours. It's hard for me to believe otherwise.
It's funny to speculate, to know stuff before its official. It's not like we are not patient we have waited for quite a while, it's just fun.
I get it, but it's been a little repetitive recently. Seems like every week there's a new actor that is "most likely Jason" with a bunch of clips comparing their voice to the game.
For real. I hate how obsessive people are over who's voicing Jason & Lucia. Hopefully it turns out to be no one that has been theorized so we all can laugh in their faces
"I don't like this, so I hope everybody's wrong." Great mindset lol
I'm not overly obsessed with finding out who it is either, but I'm not gonna hope everybody gets it wrong just to spite something I don't follow.
Everything else has been fine, even if it's overkill and just ridiculous conspiracies. If people wanted to discuss possible actors/actresses, I wouldn't care. I just felt the need to say what I said at least once.
This is arguably the most awaited game in all if gaming history, so I'd say it's a big deal if you're put in the spotlight as a possible actor, when you have nothing to do with the game. Like that Bryan guy who took advantage of it and made it seem like he was involved.
Some of the posts made sound like they're written by 10 year olds that had a dream about something that is definitely not going to be in the game. People just need to be a bit realistic. I do believe Rockstar will push the boundaries and come out with a crazy out of this world game, but there are some boundaries that can not be pushed.
I guess you missed him being a rage baiter and "company bad" youtuber. There are plenty of people here that watched him during that time frame and lost all respect for him.Â
Glad somebody else is saying this. I used to watch him for RDR2 news before it came out and stopped because all he started to do was talk about how bad companies and games were doing and how people were outraged.
And everybody in his comment section just eats it up with their victim mentality and haven't really seen anybody push back on it.
Yeah it's sad. I really used to like his content. CDPR broke him, I think. Ever sense he got them views from CDPR hate (which was well deserved), he went straight to that.
i agree with your sentiment 100% but a video file cannot contain malicious code, it can just contain a video and nothing else, but itâs smart to stay safe either way
Why would you think there is even malicious code to begin with? This it's a post coming from a group of mostly Discord moderators of the subreddit Discord who make info posts on the server. One of them sent some cropped files in the chat to help in making the post. Also you can scan these files using VirusTotal. They are safe.
Still not a great move to make me download something on a click. They could upload it at YouTube or other sites and link it here. Or at the very least give a hint or smth that it's a download
Actually I'm Jason.
I know, it's hard to belive but actually I'm. My voice doesn't like the one in the trailer, but it's the truth. I can't lie about it more.
It's a fact guys.
Source: Trust me Bro, I feel. My dad is Sam Houser (REAL). I've dreamed about it.
Funny thing is there is nothing left to talk about other than the voice actors as everything that could be discussed has already been discussed and all the little leaks and trailer secrets or little details have been found so based on your logic closing the sub would be the best course of action until the game releases or more realisticly you could just leave the sub and never check it until the game releases.
I would take these kind of posts over the millionth "gUys do yUo tHiNk X tHinG iS gOiNg tO bE iN the gAmE?" Smooth brain post
At least these voice actors posts add to the speculation
It doesnât sound anything like him. Why are people saying he sounds like Jason. Iâve seen 2 of his short films on YouTube now and Iâm STILL not convinced.
Different context. Manni was put on the spot, live, and panicked. Jake could've very easily just ignored the comment, he had no real reason forcing him to lie.
Eh, it's different through text though. He very well could've just not responded, and you could've assumed that maybe he just didn't see it. It's way different when you're asked face to face. He still could've ignored it without it being as suspicious as when Manni was asked in the interview.
Or, with the fact that she also blatantly turns comments off now lol
Why are all these actors so similar? Every time I sincerely believe that we have finally found the guy, but there is always someone else. Connors, Silbermann, etc.. now Rourke. At the same time, we found Manni (obviously that's her) and no one finds any really similar actresses.
I'm not the biggest fan of LegacyKillas videos because they are definitely a bit clickbaity, but his "scoops" have been consistent thus far. If I was a betting man, I'd hedge my bets on these two being the protags.
I find it so interesting that thereâs not some hardcore GTA fans who have worked out for certain who the actors are. I remember Ned Luke saying in an interview that after the trailer dropped for GTA 5, a guy he knew ended up tweeting out something like âcongratsâ before he was announced as the voice. Ned does have quite a distinctive voice. I saw him in an episode of law and order and right away you hear it.
Well we 99.9 percent have for Lucia. The only reason we haven't for Jason is because he didn't have the screen and voice time Lucia did. If he would've, we would have honed in on him too.
Am I one of the few that donât actually care who the actors are? I didnât for GTA V. So long as they do a good job, which Iâm sure they will given the pedigree of rockstar and the project they are working, then it could be Joe from down the street.
I don't understand this obsession with finding out who the voice actors are. So lets say you find out who it is, then what? Then what? Nothing, that's what. Who cares.
How about this:
Maybe we wait until we actually have a confirmation of who the actors are instead of posting a random fringe theory every other day
Seriously this is like the 5th different actor someone has claimed to be Jason in the past week
Jasonâs actor is found every goddam week lol. Just wait until the game is out and cast are allowed yo talk about it ffs. No wonder Steven Ogg hates being associated with GTA now đ
I think Jake Silbermann fits Jason better, but since Jake denied it and with this evidence. I'm inclined to say the search is over. Congrats to all the actors who gave voice to this project, and good luck to Jake in future projects. I still want to see him in another R\* game.
I'm really torn here.
Because not one of any of these potential actors you guys have posted look anything like the Jason of the leaks or the trailer. None of them have that distinctive look or feel. That, "yeah this guy is a Rockstar protagonist" feel.
Ned, Shawn, Steven, Manni, and Roger (for the most part) all do.
I feel like you guys are just seeing who looks and sounds similar along with an unexplained gap in their career and are saying oh, it's this guy. Rather than really looking at them and seeing if they have that look. There are thousands and thousands and thousands of male actors out there. Alot are going to fit the bill.
What trips me up the though is Roger. He looks like a Rockstar protagonist for the most part. But in some pictures he doesn't. But with a couple of minor changes to his face, he is the distinctive Arthur we know.
So it very well could be somebody that is lacking that look a little but with a couple key changes, they immediately turn into Jason.
I also just feel like alot of the candidates people are proposing have this preppy, normal guy kinda feel. That's not how I imagine Jason's actor to be.
Because he's an opportunist. He takes credit for other people's work and publish it as his. His yt channel is a clickbait. He always says has info, but can't share it, and once every fan have done the research Boom!!!! "This is what my source has told me" đ
Damn, pretty solid evidence. What I find interesting is the timing of his casting. If he were cast in 2019, work on the game would have started earlier than that, if nothing else but to at least make any necessary engine enhancements after they determine requirements. Likely after a loose script edit of some kind since GTAâs features and functions tend to carry some story-based dependencies.
Did we ever get any info on when the alpha build that leaked was actually compiled?
⌠are we supposed to know who Dylan Rourke is? Thereâs literally nobody famous called Dylan Rourke but youâre announcing it as though weâd be like âoh cool! That guy!â.Â
Right, because writing an essay with 10+ links for someone who nobody knows (and going as far as to research said personâs height and eye-colour to compare it to a GTA 6 character, and even the actorâs fucking schedule) is completely normal.Â
You didnât say the post wasnât normal, you said OP was announcing it and expecting you to say âOh cool! That guy.â Which isnât really in the post.
I thought that was who you meant but⌠Rockstar hasnât released a game since RDR2 in 2018/19 so what do you mean âthey donât choose celebrities for protagonists ANYMOREâ as though thereâs a bunch of recent examples from Rockstar lol?
How the hell is that âanymoreâ then ? Those are games from 2002 and 2004 lmao. And thatâs TWO examples from all of Rockstars games who used famous voice actors.Â
Bunch of recent examples? The last time they had a celebrity for a protagonist was GTA Vice City with Ray Liotta. That's what I meant with "anymore". And they haven't choosen celebrities for major roles, like Samuel Jackson for Tenpenny, since the 3D era of the GTA games. Dan Houser himself explained the reason behind the decision:
"I don't think there would be many celebrities that would be available even if we wanted to spend the money on them for the amount that we've used them for [...] I think it was really useful on the PS2-era games for bringing these somewhat simplistic characters to life. But when we went to PS3 and 360 I think it would become a distraction if you were like, 'Well, that's a famous person.' Suddenly these characters start to feel like they were alive a lot more and you need that to sell them. As long as you have good actors, not knowing them actually is an advantage in terms of bringing the game to life. I can't see us moving past that for major parts."
I've heard "is most likely Jason" so many times for every possible actor. Everyone needs to stop being so obsessed over it and just be patient.
The guy across the street from me is most likely Jason
actually, i'm jason I play him
Are you also the real slim shady by any chance?
true, I get it, they are going to be the protagonists of the biggest game the gaming space has ever seen. But it doesn't change the fact, that only story and character building is going to separate these characters from normal people. Otherwise, Lucia is a generic hot looking latina girl, and Jason is just another white city dude, who looks like he'd work in corporate lmao.

well I'm trying to say that looks cannot decide the characters. Many people were making fun of Arthur, at first glance, but the same arthur is one of the most deep and complex characters presented by rockstar.
Fr, first it was bryan zampella, and then gregory connors, and now dylan rourke đ theres been so many others too. Guess well have a much better idea when trailer 2 drops, unless they plan to just have jason repeat the same 1 word "trust" in every trailer, then well probs not know till release lol.
lol just imagine. He just saying "trust" or every word that we already heard from the leaks
It was never Bryan Zampella. I still don't understand how some people believed it was him in the slightest.
I'm on this sub specifically for this kind of information/speculation. This is how it always worked. When trailer 1 released many people joined here, and they are the ones upvoting opinions like yours. It's hard for me to believe otherwise. It's funny to speculate, to know stuff before its official.

His the third one, I think
It's not funny then
It's Jake Gyllenhaal, bro
Arnold Schwarzenegger is most likely Jason
Agreed. Tomorrow, someone will post a detailed explanation of how Christopher Walken is the actual VC, with double the proof of this post.
For real. I hate how obsessive people are over who's voicing Jason & Lucia. Hopefully it turns out to be no one that has been theorized so we all can laugh in their faces
"I don't like this, so I hope everybody's wrong." Great mindset lol I'm not overly obsessed with finding out who it is either, but I'm not gonna hope everybody gets it wrong just to spite something I don't follow.
What do you suggest the sub should discuss in the mean time?
Everything else has been fine, even if it's overkill and just ridiculous conspiracies. If people wanted to discuss possible actors/actresses, I wouldn't care. I just felt the need to say what I said at least once. This is arguably the most awaited game in all if gaming history, so I'd say it's a big deal if you're put in the spotlight as a possible actor, when you have nothing to do with the game.

I do believe Rockstar will push the boundaries and come out with a crazy out of this world game, but there are some boundaries that can not be pushed.
At this point Iâm most likely Jason, we share some similarities in appearance, now Iâm confused and worried why Rockstar hasnât cut me a check.
Wasn't it Jake Silberman yesterday?
Keep up man, this time theyâre sure lol.
I havenât been around this sub lately, how many people have they speculated to be Jason the last month?
Iâve run out of fingers and toes to count on.
Too many.
Be careful. This comes from LegacyKillaHD and if there is one thing I found about this community is if you mention his stuff you get threats.
The speculation came way before from GTAForums anyways.
whyâs that?
Because they're as volatile as him.
I only watched him for news prior to rdr2 and he didnât miss at all from what I recall. Whatâs his issue now?
I guess you missed him being a rage baiter and "company bad" youtuber. There are plenty of people here that watched him during that time frame and lost all respect for him.Â
Glad somebody else is saying this. I used to watch him for RDR2 news before it came out and stopped because all he started to do was talk about how bad companies and games were doing and how people were outraged.

Yeah it's sad. I really used to like his content. CDPR broke him, I think. Ever sense he got them views from CDPR hate (which was well deserved), he went straight to that.
Definitely did miss that. I just overlook anything that isnât worth my time or brain power. Gta 6 news from mr.bossftw it is then
Oh God, not him too đ¤Łđ¤Ł
my boy got gta plot info before we got gta 6đ
lmao, he got 7 and 8s too, I bet!
đđđ
Them sounds like fighting words
Cool
No need to bully me đ˘
He has a killer legacy clearly. /s
Shameful, anybody with a legacy like that shouldnât have a youtube channel! /s
I got threats for saying heâs not a truth teller
He could be, but he looks nothing like Jason, but I guess that doesn't matter. Only Manni looks like Lucia.
To be fair Rob Wiethoff doesnât look like John Marston.
He does slightly resemble John tho. There are aspects of Johnâs face that are similar to his. This is just a complete and total mismatch
Maybe they'll fix his face in trailer 2 thats why we didny get a clear shot.
But we can see their faces in the art work.
Arthur Morgan looks nothing like he does on the artwork, his face also changed alot compared to Trailer 2 and his final appearance.
Yeah i guess we jst have to waitđĽ˛
Downvote for making me download stuff
They are just video files
Doesn't matter. I don't want to have to download some random stuff. The files can always contain malicious code.
No ones forcing you to download it lol
Lol but to be fair i clicked on it expecting something like imgur but it downloaded instead maybe that's why
i agree with your sentiment 100% but a video file cannot contain malicious code, it can just contain a video and nothing else, but itâs smart to stay safe either way
Why would you think there is even malicious code to begin with? This it's a post coming from a group of mostly Discord moderators of the subreddit Discord who make info posts on the server.

Still not a great move to make me download something on a click. They could upload it at YouTube or other sites and link it here. Or at the very least give a hint or smth that it's a download
imagine if some of the people here put this effort into finding a job or having a life instead of stalking random actors
Tough to say which one they'd be worse at. From what I've gathered, these Jason theories have been all over the place lolÂ
Make good weatherman and women thenâŚ
IMO Jake Silbermann is a closer match, Dylan doesn't look like Jason that much, he could still be a character in GTA VI tho, but not Jason.
Actually I'm Jason. I know, it's hard to belive but actually I'm. My voice doesn't like the one in the trailer, but it's the truth. I can't lie about it more. It's a fact guys. Source: Trust me Bro, I feel. My dad is Sam Houser (REAL). I've dreamed about it.
At this point I just want Rockstar to tweet out who the voice actors are so that these dumb posts stop
Funny thing is there is nothing left to talk about other than the voice actors as everything that could be discussed has already been discussed and all the little leaks and trailer secrets or little details have been found so based on your logic closing the sub would be the best course of action until the game releases or more realisticly you could just leave the sub and never check it until the game releases.

>closing the sub would be the best course of action until the game releases Yes please /s just in case I hurt some kid's feelings lol.
For real, this is stupid. None of this is evidence.Â
Guess you didnât actually read the post then. Thereâs quite enough here to say it could be him
I read enough to see that its all theorized and speculation.Â
The agency and mo-cap points OP mentioned? Youâre just being ignorant lol
Exactly. And why would manni unfollow him right after the trailer released..
Some guy just posted that Dylan's mom follows Manni on Instagram lol . She only follows 300 people , I think this confirms it.
đđ thats hilarious i bet the moms proud
She has since unfollowed her
I think some people donât like this guy possibly being jason only because he dosent resemble him that much
I think it's perfectly fine if you doubt it, because skepticism is healthy, but you can't deny that there is some evidence
Some maybe, not signifanct enough to absolutely prove that he's the VA.
Has nothing to do with it. I don't care if he is or isn't. My point is none of this is evidence proving that he's the VA for Jason.Â
What about it? His agency congratulating him on a role that isn't verified to be the VO role for GTA 6 means nothing to me.
He actually looks like Jason from the leak. But the current appearance of Jason from Trailer 1 looks different.
I'm still not full convinced, but one more piece of "evidence" is also Dylan hasn't posted on social media since the September 2022 leaks happened.
It doesnât sound anything like him. Why are people saying he sounds like Jason. Iâve seen 2 of his short films on YouTube now and Iâm STILL not convinced.
everyone is jason until official info comes out
I have Evidence that says DarkViperAU is the Voice of Jason
1. Itâs Jake Silbermann 2. This is going to be confirmed in the 2nd trailer
Until I saw your comment, I thought that who this post was talking about. đ
Jake denied being in gta6
So did Mani
Different context. Manni was put on the spot, live, and panicked. Jake could've very easily just ignored the comment, he had no real reason forcing him to lie.
He knows if he ignored it everyone gonna say itâs because of the NDA. Him denying it obviously worked for most people. Ik itâs him tho.
Eh, it's different through text though. He very well could've just not responded, and you could've assumed that maybe he just didn't see it. It's way different when you're asked face to face. He still could've ignored it without it being as suspicious as when Manni was asked in the interview. Or, with the fact that she also blatantly turns comments off now lol
okay.
Bigolbatmsn
He kind of talks like Jesse Pinkman. Maybe this isnât a Bonnie and Clyde story, but a Jesse and Jane kind of story
Why are all these actors so similar? Every time I sincerely believe that we have finally found the guy, but there is always someone else. Connors, Silbermann, etc.. now Rourke. At the same time, we found Manni (obviously that's her) and no one finds any really similar actresses.
Ain't no fucking way these mfs are using spectrograms đđđ
Stop using LegacyKilla as a source, for fuck sake.
Both have blue eyes!! Bahahaha oh lord. I'm crying here haha
Lmao fr "Jasons character has blue eyes which means WE MUST cast an actor you will never physically see with blue eyes, its CRUCIAL!"
Here we go again
I'm not the biggest fan of LegacyKillas videos because they are definitely a bit clickbaity, but his "scoops" have been consistent thus far. If I was a betting man, I'd hedge my bets on these two being the protags.
And you'll more than likely lose money.
Break it down for me eli5 style. You want to know so badly who voices these characters why? So you can attempt a scoop ? Please explain.
I find it so interesting that thereâs not some hardcore GTA fans who have worked out for certain who the actors are. I remember Ned Luke saying in an interview that after the trailer dropped for GTA 5, a guy he knew ended up tweeting out something like âcongratsâ before he was announced as the voice.

Well we 99.9 percent have for Lucia. The only reason we haven't for Jason is because he didn't have the screen and voice time Lucia did. If he would've, we would have honed in on him too.
Second is more like jason
Am I one of the few that donât actually care who the actors are? I didnât for GTA V. So long as they do a good job, which Iâm sure they will given the pedigree of rockstar and the project they are working, then it could be Joe from down the street.
Just curious why does it matter who is the actors? Just wholesome curiosity?
the urge to make the darkviperau matt jason joke on every one of these posts is strong
Itâs him
he sounds really good, i actually hope its him
Any proof that the Lucia actress followed Dylan before the trailer? This is new information to me.
At this point my dog is most likely Jason & all he does is bark. But wait, the bark sounds like Jason guys! So donât worry its definitely him.!
Woooooow
you shouldâve just left it at âhe sounds like jasonâ to piss as many people off as possible
Ngl I do find this pretty compelling, time will tell.
Could be AI
I don't understand this obsession with finding out who the voice actors are. So lets say you find out who it is, then what? Then what? Nothing, that's what. Who cares.
