Meet Jason: The Male Protagonist of GTA 6
Grand Theft Auto VI introduces not one, but two protagonists, Lucia and Jason. While Lucia has officially been revealed, her male counterpart, Jason, remains somewhat of a mystery. Here’s a deep dive into everything we know so far about Jason, the Bonnie to Lucia’s Clyde, and the speculation surrounding the actor who might bring him to life.
Who Is Jason?
Jason is one of the two main playable characters in GTA 6 and is featured prominently in the game’s marketing alongside Lucia. The two are depicted as partners in crime, and their dynamic appears to echo the infamous real-life duo Bonnie and Clyde.
From the trailer and key art, Jason and Lucia’s bond seems personal as well as professional. In one scene, Lucia is seen sitting on Jason’s lap, while another moment highlights their dialogue:
- Lucia: “The only way we’re gonna get through this is by sticking together. Being a team. Trust?”
- Jason: “Trust.”
Jason’s background remains largely under wraps, but he is portrayed as a male criminal operating in the fictional state of Leonida. Leaked footage from September 2022 has given fans a sneak peek of him long before his official reveal in December 2023.
Jason’s Name: A Product of Leaks
While Rockstar Games hasn’t officially confirmed the name “Jason,” it is widely believed to be accurate due to significant leaks in 2022. A hacker, known as teapotuberhacker, released over 90 clips of GTA 6 during its development, showcasing the two protagonists, Lucia and Jason, engaging in various crimes.
These leaks also revealed the staggering development costs of the game and provided early insights into its gameplay. Given that the name “Lucia” was later confirmed in the official trailer, it’s likely that “Jason” will turn out to be correct as well.
Who Might Be Voicing Jason?
Rockstar has yet to reveal Jason’s voice actor, but fans have theories. Several names have emerged based on leaks, voice similarities, and hints from the actors themselves. Here’s a rundown of the most likely candidates:
1. Gregory Connors
Gregory Connors, a stage and screen actor, had a listing on Actors Access indicating he was playing a lead role in a Rockstar Games 2025 release. Though the listing has since been removed, it sparked speculation that Connors could be Jason.
2. Jake Silbermann
Jake Silbermann, known for his role as Captain Lyndon Monroe in Red Dead Redemption 2, is another contender. Fans noted that the leaked voice lines from the 2022 clips sound remarkably similar to Silbermann’s voice.
Interestingly, Silbermann has denied playing Jason, but given Rockstar’s strict non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), such denials might be expected.
3. Dylan Rourke
Actor Dylan Rourke, known for his roles in Modern Family and Station 19, is a newer candidate for Jason. YouTuber LegacyKillaHD claimed insider knowledge pointing to Rourke, though this remains unconfirmed.
4. Troy Baker
The voice of Joel from The Last of Us, Troy Baker, is another name in the running. Fans have drawn comparisons between Jason’s one-word line “Trust” in the trailer and Baker’s iconic performances. However, leaked dialogue from earlier footage suggests the voice doesn’t align with Baker’s style.
5. Bryan Zampella
Bryan Zampella’s candid approach to teasing fans has earned him a spot on the list. Zampella posted photos on Instagram that strongly resembled Jason’s leaked outfit, complete with background music from GTA: Vice City. While his playful behavior has fueled rumors, it’s unlikely Rockstar would approve of such blatant hints from someone under contract.
Jason and Lucia: A Dynamic Duo
Jason’s story intertwines deeply with Lucia’s, and the trailer hints at a narrative built on trust, teamwork, and possible betrayal. Their relationship, both criminal and personal, echoes the real-life exploits of Bonnie and Clyde.
Speculation suggests that Jason and Lucia meet in prison, where their partnership begins. Alternatively, the trailer could be showing events in reverse, starting with their downfall and incarceration, then rewinding to their rise in the criminal underworld.
While the duo appears united, fans are already theorizing about potential betrayal. Jason’s ominous response to Lucia’s plea for trust has sparked speculation that he could be working with law enforcement, setting the stage for a dramatic twist.
What’s Next for Jason?
As the first trailer has left fans buzzing, anticipation for more details about Jason and his role in GTA 6 continues to build. With Rockstar Games’ track record of crafting complex, layered characters, Jason is poised to be a compelling addition to the series.
Whether his story involves love, betrayal, or both, Jason’s dynamic with Lucia promises to drive the narrative forward in ways that fans of the franchise have come to expect.
For now, all eyes are on Rockstar as fans eagerly await the next trailer and the eventual unveiling of Jason’s voice actor. Stay tuned as we continue to update you with the latest information about this enigmatic protagonist.
