As the release of Grand Theft Auto VI approaches, the voice actors behind Franklin, Michael, and Trevor from GTA V, as well as the actor who voiced Carl “CJ” Johnson from GTA: San Andreas, were asked if they had any advice for the actors portraying the new protagonists, Lucia and Jason.
Young Maylay, who voiced CJ, said: “Have fun,” and then Shawn Fonteno (Franklin) added:
Honestly, just listen to what Rockstar Games tells you. They will guide you in the right direction… The actors need to carry themselves properly after the release. You better get ready. That's all I can say — get ready. It's going to be a long journey for you.
Young Maylay then turned to his colleagues:
When GTA VI comes out, you [the GTA V actors] will be in my shoes. We will always be our characters […] Nowadays, it's mostly the old-timers who remember me. Everyone who comes up to me — well, there are younger folks too, of course, but you know, guys with gray hair come up saying, “Hey, you're CJ,” and they already have kids of their own. You get older, just like your fan base, but that doesn't mean you'll be forgotten. I wasn't forgotten after [GTA V came out]. We will always be our characters — nobody can take that away from us.
