Ever since the GTA 6 trailer aired, fans have been hard at work uncovering all the potential clues baked into the visuals. This is especially the case for the two protagonists at the heart of the game – Jason and Lucia. While the latter had more of a presence in the trailer, Jason remains a subject of mystery. We already know that he’ll be a playable character thanks to the infamous 2022 leaks, but beyond that, information on the character is scarce. With this in mind, we’ve compiled a guide on everything to know about GTA 6’s Jason. So with that, let’s begin.
Who is Jason in GTA 6?
Jason is one of the twin protagonists in GTA 6 and plays a prominent role in the narrative alongside Lucia. We first glimpse the character in the GTA 6 trailer as he’s seated inside a car with her. The pair looks to be on the run from the law, as police vehicles zip by them, and Lucia is even shown holding a wad of cash. The duo also has facemasks, which suggests they just pulled off a robbery.
Besides her ties to Lucia, we know little else about the character’s background or how he turned to a life of crime. What we do know for sure is that he’ll be a playable character in the game. Speaking of which, his model looks to have undergone significant changes, as his appearance was much different in the leaked gameplay footage from 2022. It’s worth noting that Rockstar has yet to confirm if the male protagonist is even named Jason. The community learned about the name thanks to leaks as well.
Bonnie and Clyde Dynamic with Lucia
The trailer makes it apparent that the duo are partners-in-crime. Besides their daring vehicle escape, it features separate shots of Jason and Lucia holding up a convenience store. The pair can be seen striding purposely through the aisles, possibly to go up to the cashier, and they also burst through the store’s doors with firearms at the ready. These sequences are likely displayed in reverse order and culminate in the car escape mentioned earlier.
The trailer strongly suggests a romantic angle for their relationship since the duo can be seen having an intimate moment. Any remaining doubts were cleared up by the game’s cover art, which displays Lucia with her arm around Jason. While we don’t know the extent of their crime spree, we can safely assume that the upcoming game will feature missions that see them commit robberies together.
Trouble in Paradise?
It’s well established that Rockstar loves weaving a major betrayal into their narrative. There are countless examples of this, and things have reached a point where players can see it coming from miles away. This has spawned a popular theory that Jason could turn his back on Lucia at some point in the story.
The genesis of this theory is the very first shot of the trailer, which shows Lucia in an orange jumpsuit inside a prison. Puzzled by how she ended up there, some players online have speculated that Jason could give up his partner to the police at some point in the story.
While not entirely plausible, the ominous nature of their conversation towards the end of the trailer reinforces this theory. In the conversation, Lucia asks for a reaffirmation of trust, to which Jason replies, “Trust,” which is not the most convincing answer.
We’ll have to wait until the release date to see exactly how their relationship turns out, but it certainly wouldn’t be surprising to see either character walk out on the other.
GTA 6 Jason Voice Actor: Speculations
Despite uttering a single word during the entire trailer, Jason has been linked to multiple voice actors. Three stand out, but the official voice actor has yet to be confirmed.
1. Gregory Connors
American actor Gregory Connors has emerged as the most likely candidate behind Jason’s voice. The 37-year-old has appeared on TV Shows such as The Blacklist, The Good Fight, and FBI’s: Most Wanted, alongside some on-stage roles. Rumors surrounding his involvement began after fans online discovered a ‘Lead’ voice-over role for Rockstar Games on his resume. The mention was also dated ‘2025’, the year GTA 6 is scheduled to release.
Furthermore, his CV has no media credits in 2023, which aligns with Rockstar’s potential voice-over timeline. Of course, this is just speculation at the moment, and the actor himself has yet to comment on these rumors.
2. Troy Baker
Troy Baker is a well-established voice actor credited with iconic roles such as Joel from The Last of Us and Sam Drake from Uncharted 4. Fans linked the actor to Jason purely out of speculation, but he was quick to shoot down those claims in an interview.
3. Bryan Zampella
Actor Bryan Zampella was linked to Jason shortly after the emergence of the 2022 leaks. He went on to lean into these rumors by posting images of himself cosplaying as the character, gray tank top and all.
He is also connected to Rockstar employees on social media, which stoked the fire even more. Without an official confirmation, it’s hard to deduce if the New York City native is actually involved in the game or if he’s taking fans for a ride.
That is pretty much everything we know about Jason in GTA 6 so far. We’ll learn more about the character once the second trailer drops. Until then, let us know in the comments if you have your own voice actor theories for the character.
