Jackson (Pulp Fiction) as Frank Tenpenny in GTA San Andreas.

Bill Hader was also in GTA IV. Like his other SNL costars that are in the game, he also hosted a radio station in the game. He was on PLR (The parody of NPR).

The models had to crapier, compare what the 2 games had to render, the blank countryside of gta Sa had more to render then vc's busiest city. This is alao why gta sa is 4.5gbs the maximum possible size of a PS2 disc back then. Vice city was half that

[@Chosen1PR]

Spanish singer Rosalía also voiced herself as the host of Motomami Los Santos radio station in GTA V and Online, though Rockstar has since removed the station from the game.

[@danielwhite1233]

A lot of the extras and cops and radio callers in gta 4 were from the New York based satellite radio shows Opie and Anthony, and Ron and Fez. The hosts and producers voiced a lot of the people on the street and most of the generic cops are voiced by their producer Steve C (who committed suicide afterwards) to really make it feel like New York in the fall.

[@sirnickels9979]

Always learning someone from Gta vice city famous voice actors. Danny Trejo voiced Enrique from King of the Hill

[@Spartak2811]

Maria is my favourite too for her bitter, anarchistic and rebellious character. But at the same time she’s sincere, friendly, down to earth and decent girl with very tragic story. She was considered as disposable but she deserved so much better. She deserved to be happy. She deserved the whole world! If only she had just never met Salvatore, her life could be much better. But the fate decided otherwise. Maria was a lamb befriended with wolves whom were Salvatore, Toni, Wayne and Claude.
