Michael Turner has built a solid career in the video game industry, lending his voice to characters across a number of high-profile titles. He's most widely recognized for his role as Zer0 in Borderlands 2, Borderlands 3, and Tales from the Borderlands. Before stepping into the GTA world, his voice work was mostly tied to Gearbox Entertainment and 2K Games—both both of which are subsidiaries of Take-Two Interactive. While it's unconfirmed whether he's done motion capture, his resume suggests he's no stranger to physically demanding roles behind the scenes.
In Grand Theft Auto VI, Turner voices a character known only as the "Rich Coke Head"—a minor NPC whose name alone hints at his lifestyle. While not much is currently known about the character's specific scenes or interactions, the nickname suggests he's part of Vice City's upper-class nightlife and drug culture. His involvement was quietly revealed through Turner's professional resume1, which listed the role ahead of Rockstar's official character announcements.
Michael Turner is approximately 5'7" and weighs 140 pounds.
Turner has been married to Caroline since July 25, 2009.
Professionally, Turner has worked with Rockstar Games, Gearbox Entertainment, and 2K Games. In-game, there's currently no information on whether the "Rich Coke Head" NPC has notable connections or recurring interactions with other characters.
The "Rich Coke Head" seems to reflect GTA VI's recurring themes of wealth, excess, and the dark underbelly of Vice City's elite. The character is likely a nod to Miami's real-life 1980s cocaine boom, consistent with Rockstar's style of using background characters to add flavor to the world. Details about the character first emerged through Turner's resume.
Turner provided the voice for the character, though it's unclear whether he was also involved in motion capture.
