GTA: Vice City creator admitted his "script was terrible," but the actor managed to make it "sound good"

My script is terrible, and he managed to make it sound good. However, all good actors can do that. What pleases me most is when an actor finds something that isn't in the text. I believe that acting is an unusual art form, but it is still art. And when you see a truly good actor, you realize how much they surpass someone who is just decent. Decent actors generally convey what I had in mind as the author, or what we intended when working on the character. But the best actors rise to a whole new level. And he definitely managed to do that.

He only did voice acting — he didn't participate in motion capture. The day before the recording, we met him for dinner, and then we worked for two days in New York. A few months later, when the game was close to completion and everything remaining could be recorded, one of my colleagues and I went to Los Angeles. On the first day, he came in and seemed not particularly enthusiastic about working, but the next day he worked for about five hours and recorded absolutely everything. He did a magnificent job with it.
