The hype train for Grand Theft Auto 6 is chugging ahead at full speed after the record-breaking trailer debut, but one related rumor has now been put to rest.
Fans had theorized that iconic voice actor Troy Baker could be lending his vocal talents to the game's mysterious male protagonist, Jason. However, Baker himself shut down those rumors in a recent interview.
"That right there is a lesson in perception," Baker told The Movie Dweeb. "So, people think and they just automatically assume." While the single line of dialogue that Jason utters in the trailer does sound reminiscent of Baker's work on other high-profile game characters like Joel from The Last of Us, the veteran actor insists he is not the one behind the role.
"I want that guy, whoever it is, to get credit for his work, because I'm sure it's going to be great," Baker continued. "Those guys pour themselves into those characters, and they deserve all of the credit for their work, not me."
We're not surprised by this refreshingly humble take from Baker, who has undoubtedly earned his place among gaming's most celebrated voice actors. Throughout his illustrious career, he has lent his talents to countless remarkable characters, from Metal Gear Solid's Revolver Ocelot to Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor's Talion (including its sequel).
However, when it comes to_GTA 6_'s Jason, Baker is more than happy to let the actual performer take the spotlight.
