Two actors who listed Grand Theft Auto 6 roles on public resumes have quietly deleted those credits after going viral.
A few days ago, Brett Gipson listed a supporting role in Grand Theft Auto VI as a character named Ellis on his Actors Access resume. A second actor, Katie Burke, also had a similar credit listed on her profile. Both credits are long gone, scrubbed quietly after the internet noticed.
Actors list their jobs on industry resume sites like Actors Access to get more work, and what could get bigger than adding a credit for an AAAAA title like the next Grand Theft Auto. Deleting it days later once it goes viral is, as the kids these days say, sus. People do not usually erase real, completed work from their resumes. They erase things someone told them to erase.
GTA 6 Actor Credit Satus
- Status Now:
- Removed
| Actor | Listed Credit | Status Now |
|---|---|---|
Brett Gipson | GTA 6, Ellis, Supporting, Rockstar | Removed |
Katie Burke | GTA 6 credit | Removed |
Two actors, two GTA 6 credits, both gone after the listings spread online.
The deletions actually make the credits more believable, not less. If Gipson and Burke had simply listed roles in a game they were not in, there would be no reason for anyone to ask them to remove the credits. The fact that the entries were scrubbed shortly after going viral strongly suggests someone with authority reached out and asked them to take the information down.

We have seen this play out before. Earlier this year, musician Panama deleted an Instagram comment claiming the inclusion of a GTA 6 song.
You see, when information about GTA 6 gets pulled down fast, the pulling is the tell.
An actor casually listing a GTA 6 role on a public resume is exactly the kind of small leak Rockstar Games would want closed quickly, even if the information itself, a character name and a role size, reveals almost nothing about the actual game.
Of course, we do not know for certain that Rockstar requested the removals. Actors sometimes edit their own resumes for unrelated reasons or remove credits when a project is under NDA, and they realize they jumped the gun.
With that said, this is now at least three actors (Santangeli, Gipson, Burke) whose GTA 6 involvement has surfaced through self-reporting on resumes or livestreams, only for the information to either get walked back or go unconfirmed
With pre-orders opening June 25 and Rockstar in full marketing-control mode, the studio is presumably watching for exactly this kind of premature info and shutting it down to protect its own carefully sequenced reveal.
So who are Ellis and whatever Katie Burke is playing? We still do not know. What we have are two more names that are connected to GTA 6, two more quick deletions, and a pretty strong hint that the credits were real enough for someone to want them gone.
