Gaming legend confirms he's not in GTA 6 as voice cast remains a mystery

Grand Theft Auto 6's two trailers have given us a better idea of what to expect from the upcoming crime caper, but we're still waiting to find out who will voice our new cast

GTA 6 finally has a release date, although its delay means it's around six months later than we'd expected.

Still, having been in development for years, we're now seemingly close to the end of the process, and with Take-Two's CEO saying the game will be worth the wait, we're ready for a return to Vice City after a few years away.

We now know Jason and Lucia are our protagonists, supported by a raucous supporting cast including musicians, arms dealers and conspiracy theorists, but we're still none the wiser about GTA 6's voice cast (although we did hear DJ Khaled could make an appearance!)

Now, one gaming legend has ruled himself out of the cast despite fans thinking they've heard him in the second trailer.

GTA 6 won't feature voice acting legend

Despite suggestions that Red Dead Redemption and GTA 6 take place in the same universe, it appears longtime video game voice actor Roger Craig Smith won't be featured in GTA 6.

"Nope. Not me," he posted on May 6, adding "Just to clarify" and the GTA6 hashtag.

Some weren't convinced, though, forcing him to issue another clarification the next day.

"LITERALLY attempting to clarify that it is NOT my voice in that trailer."

"Just to clarify my earlier clarification. Are we clear? Groovy." he added, acknowledging that "Trailers amazing, though" and cheekily adding "Just to clarify." for good measure. Clarification enough?

Wondering where you've heard Roger Craig Smith's voice before? He's been the voice of everyone from Sonic the Hedgehog to Ezio from Assassin's Creed, as well as a background character in Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption and many, many more.

Still, Smith's post raises an interesting point that we still don't know who the game's voices will be provided by. Rockstar tends to avoid casting well-known stars as its main characters (although there have been some big names in the past), but the current talent is under wraps.

Fans have suggested Gregory Connors and Manni L. Perez are portraying Jason and Lucia, respectively, but there's nothing concrete for either, or any of the other characters spotted in the game's two trailers so far.

With around a year to go until the game's long-awaited debut, here's hoping we'll hear more in the coming weeks.
