Grand Theft Auto 5 revolutionizes storytelling in video games by introducing not just one, but three protagonists: Franklin, Michael, and Trevor. Each character brings a unique perspective and backstory that enhances the immersive experience of the game. The depth of these characters is matched by the talent of the voice actors who bring them to life, making players curious about who plays whom in this critically acclaimed title.
In the vibrant world of Los Santos, these voice actors have not only lent their voices but also their personalities to create memorable and engaging characters. For example, Shawn Fonteno voices Franklin, while Ned Luke and Steven Ogg lend their voices to Michael and Trevor, respectively. You might not recognize these names immediately, but they have all made significant contributions to the film and television industry, enriching the gaming experience further.
Among the trio, Steven Ogg stands out as a familiar face, having appeared in popular series like Better Call Saul and The Walking Dead. His portrayal of Trevor has become iconic, making him a fan favorite. On the other hand, Shawn Fonteno and Ned Luke have also had their share of roles in the entertainment industry, including Fonteno's notable appearance in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. This article will delve into the full cast list, revealing the talented individuals behind the characters you love.
The three protagonists, Franklin, Michael, and Trevor, are voiced and performed by Shawn Fonteno, Ned Luke, and Steven Ogg, respectively. You might not recognize those names, but you’ll likely have seen or heard them in something before.
Ogg is perhaps the most recognizable, having appeared in Snowpiercer, Better Call Saul, The Walking Dead, and a host of other movies and shows. Fonteno has had a handful of roles, including a small part in the original Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
And Ned Luke? Luke has appeared in three Law and Order episodes, each time as a different character. That may sound a little odd, but the Columbo movies are equally famous for doing that.
There’s another reason some of the characters might sound familiar. Several characters return from previous games. Ashley Butler, for example, voiced by Traci Godfrey, appeared in GTA 4. The same is true of Packie McReary, and without giving too much away, there’s an appearance from a certain biker.
Here’s the full list of everyone who lends their voice to GTA 5.
