Troy Baker, a well-known voice actor in the video game industry, has recently responded to the ongoing rumor about his involvement in the highly awaited Grand Theft Auto VI (GTAVI) (GTA 6). Fans had speculated that Baker might be the voice behind the male character known as “Jason,” who briefly appears alongside the female protagonist Lucia in the game’s initial trailer. This speculation was largely based on a single spoken line that some thought sounded similar to Baker’s previous work.
In a recent interview found by GR, Baker rejected the fan theory, highlighting the character’s limited dialogue. “He says one word!” Baker pointed out, stressing the need for the actual voice actor to receive proper credit. He also recognized the dedication required for Rockstar Games projects, mentioning his relationships with actors like Roger Clark and Ned Luke. Baker emphasized that voice actors pour themselves into characters and deserve all the credit for their work.
“That right there is a lesson in perception. So, people think and they just automatically assume. I want that guy, whoever it is, to get credit for his work, because I’m sure it’s going to be great… And I know many people who worked for Rockstar, Roger Clark, Ned Luke included, that, you know, that’s a grind, man. Those guys pour themselves into those characters, and they deserve all of the credit for their work, not me.”

Despite not being involved in GTAVI, Baker seemed humbled by the association. He said that being associated with good voice acting is a compliment. He thinks of the fan theory as an acknowledgment of his work.
While fans might be disappointed by this revelation, Baker’s fans can still anticipate his performance as Indiana Jones in the upcoming title, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. The identity of the GTAVI male protagonist’s voice actor remains a mystery, fueling further speculation until Rockstar Games provides official confirmation.
It’s not hard to see that the male character in Grand Theft Auto VI will have a huge role to play. The more we find out about the game, the more it seems like the main character is Lucia, but the series is no stranger to having two leads.
Unfortunately, the best we can do is speculate. With the game’s release currently anticipated for 2025, fans will have to patiently await more details about the cast.
