Rockstar Games have always utilized celebrities and famous faces in their Grand Theft Auto series. Ray Liotta, Samuel L Jackson, Phil Collins, Joe Rogan, Axl Rose, and Jason Sudeikis have all appeared in different games, either voicing main characters or cameoing as themselves at some point.
With fans looking forward to GTA 6, they’ve been speculating for quite some time on who might appear. They’d love a nod to Liotta’s iconic character Tommy Vercetti, and DJ Khaled has been reported to host his own radio station.
