Sergi Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Ok despite the fact we know absolutely nothing at all about the next GTA it's still fun to think of what you would like in the next game. This thread is about what voice actors wether they're known or unknown do you think would make as a good character in a GTA game. You can just simply name the actors you want or you can also go into detail as to what type of character you'd like them to portray and how'd they be in the game. My list goes like this. Jeremy Piven(Entourage, Smokin Aces): I think he'd be a perfect actor for a character in the next GTA. While playing TBoGT for some reason I just got this whole Jeremy Piven type vibe from him. I think Jeremy could play some sort of down on his luck business owner with a drug problem and is a complete womanizer who's more of a Colonel Cortez type side character who plays a more vital role at the beginning and pops up throughout the storyline of the game mainly asking you for help in situations he f*cked up with similar to Donald Love in LCS. I think it would be pretty cool if his character dies in a shootout that he involuntarily started. Wood Harris(The Wire, Paid in Full, Friday Night Lights): Ever since seeing him in "The Wire" as ruthless and smart drug kingpin Avon Barksdale I always thought he'd be a cool person to voice a character in a GTA. His role as Avon in Season 1 and his even better role in Season 3 of the show could be the basis of that type of character he could voice in a GTA. A drug lord in more rundown area of a city who absolutely doesn't back down and wants things ran his way. Another basis could be off his performance in "Paid in Full" as Ace who was based on real life Harlem drug lord AZ a Harlem druglord in the 1980s crack boom who was a complete 180 from his "The Wire|" character. That portrayal could be the more sympathetic and more business savy type character who's also involved in the drug game. These are the only 2 I have so far but I'll add more later.

RomanViking Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 This is an interesting thread here Sergi. You made an excellent opening post too Robert Knepper should portray an escaped prisoner who has become a mercenary type. He should speak eloquently, and often call people "pretty". One of his arms should be prosthetic... If they were to have him, he should be his character Bagwell or "T Bag" from Prison Break Wikipedia Link Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/432870-ideal-voice-actors/#findComment-1059638516 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sborges91 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Great choice on Wood Harris. Brian O'Halloran (Clerks, Clerks II, any Kevin Smith movie basically) Call me crazy, but I think he could do a great job as a small business owner that needs your help. Not a huge role, but I think it could work well. Dean Winters (Oz, Rescue Me) Nothing too original here, but I think he would do well as an Irish hood. His character's role would be similiar to Rocco's role in TBOGT. Edward Norton (Fight Club, American History X, Primal Fear) Wishful thinking here, but thats what makes it fun. I can see him playing a lawyer. A friend, similiar to Ken Rosenberg, but a more of a bad guy. Someone who helps you if you help him. He would eventually turn on you in the end. I realize that this isn't the most comprehensive list nor do I give much detail into the characters. Just a very rough sketch of what I think would be good.

najtrows Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Seth Rogen should be your Roman or Tony type of guy. Not LIKE THEM but have the same place in the game as them.

supermortalhuman Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Jeremy Pivon, I agree man! Not familiar with wood harris tho. Alec Baldwin as a character like his role on 30 rock - the evil sh*t he only hints at, but never fully explains to his workers xD Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/432870-ideal-voice-actors/#findComment-1059653919 Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody242 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 if it were to take place somewhere in Britain Jason Statham would have to be a big role. Also Vinnie jones. infact, the whole cast of Lock, stock and two smoking barrels.

VCRules86 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Jeffrey Donovan. I'd like him as some sort of a cold/calculating FBI type who manipulates the main character into doing things for him. Sort of a UL Paper type but more robotic in personality Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/432870-ideal-voice-actors/#findComment-1059657884 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mokrie Dela Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Omid Djalili again! I'd like to see Michael Madsen play a bent cop with a drinking problem. as random and weird as that sounds! er who else? Frankie Boyle, playing a charecter simular to that of JD O'Toole, a compelte weirdo with rather....twisted interests... i agree with the Edward Norton suggestion. i like the sound of that charecter.

maxopower Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 (edited) Danny Devito (not relly that “big” a star eny more, and Sunny is f*cking hilarious) or Seth Rogen(most of his movie being about pot smoking). Alec Baldwin, Jim Carrey, Denzel Washington, Johnny Depp, Joe Pesci, Robert Downey Jr and Clint Eastwood are all too mainstream, they would never do a GTA, maybe a Guitar Hero or some sh*tty Wee game, but they would lose all political credit(among the none gamers) and get flamed by the media, if they did GTA .

Typhus Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Jake Gyllenhaal as a hitman who starts to become reckless and out-of-control. He's got a distinctive voice. Very unsteady and quivering. So I'd like to see him play a guy whose irrational behaviour makes him unsuitable for a life of crime. Someone way too unpredictable.

On June 4, 2009, Carradine was found dead in his room at the Swissôtel Nai Lert Park Hotel on Wireless Road, near Sukhumvit Road, in central Bangkok, Thailand. A police official said Carradine was found hanging by a rope in the room's closet, and the Bangkok Post reported that his body was found curled up in the wardrobe with one end of a shoelace tied around his penis and the other end around his neck.
