Who was the Running Man in the first Trailer?

I'm talking about this guy

Is he still in the game? Is it a Beta? 

 

I remember people (including me) thought he'd be one of the protagonists when the first Trailer came out.

Its just an NPC, nobody knows his name or who is he

Hard to say since this scene was complete bullsh*t and never happens in game much like everything else shown in that first trailer.

It's possible that it's the gentleman being covered in this article. If my memory serves me correctly, the actor made a tweet back in 2011 saying that he got his body scanned for a Rockstar Games project named "Rush," which turned out to be GTA V's codename. If you look at his pictures on his social media, there's a slight resemblance to the running man, especially the tattoos (maybe the resemblance was even closer a decade ago). Either his role turned out to be for the first trailer only, or he parted ways with R* and was dropped from the game as a whole. (I wouldn't be surprised if his tweeting of confidential information strained their relationship.)

I have seen that guy before...

When I was playing as Franklin in GTA 5

You can find him in Chamberlain Hills, or keep on walking in Forum Drive

That's obviously CJ in his forties. Do you even GTA bro. In all seriousness. Rockstar probably used a CJ like figure in the trailer to get fans talking.. and it sure as hell worked. I remember seeing threads everywhere once the trailer dropped.. "CJ returns GTA V confirmed"

So I found these 3 pictures. In your opinion, are those guys in those pictures similar to the Running Man from the Trailer?

If it's possible, could you screenshoot the guy? Wherever you have time. I don't play GTA V on PC. Thank you in advance 🙏

My mistake. he is not in the director mode. I was playing GTA V on pc in 2015. I saw him on the ped list while using trainer. Named street wannabe. Thats far as i know

Why? What difference does it make in your life if you know the answer? It's a running Blackman.. no conspiracy here

I always pegged the running man for an early version of a protagonist played by Slink Johnson, but I have never seen any hard proof to support this. But if I remember correctly, Lamar/Slink was intended for the role filled by Franklin/Shaw Fonteno, but when Slink was sentenced to jail, R* had to wing it from there. Or something like that.

Just some dude.

 

However, this scene reminds me of how hyped I was. I thought this Los Santos is going to be huge, and that there will be a good crime story surrounding gangsters, etc. Ah, I remember I was so hyped when I saw these cops in the alley...

 

Good old times. 

 

Not to mention these 1990's Vapid Staniers, lol.

It may be the generic CGF ped that appeared on Fresh Meat.
Or may be another generic NPC that doesn't appeared at all and was cut on the beta.
Or screw it, it's CJ.
