[@darthbigred22]

Well we say that but really other than movie tie ins there's still not a lot of big names running to gaming. Like the current A list celebrities aren't doing them, it's either has beens or niche actors trying to stay relevant.

Interestingly, Rockstar seem to do a way better job at negotiating with actors through the production of GTA V and RDR2 than they did before in 2000's. Aside from becoming more experienced and learning from mistakes, it also seems like they finally got big enough to create a proper media advertisement and give actors the credit and recognition directly by the success of the games, instead of hiring those who were already famous in the first place. Ned Luke, Shawn Darnell Fonteno and Steven Ogg had an immense recognition boost thanks to GTA V, and the RDR2 cast seem to be gladly in touch with each other and their fans till today. Needless to say, the Rockstar's casting couch is what they haven't yet disappointed us with in any way. Lets hope that GTA 6 will do just as good in that regard

Most of the things you said was correct but I would really love if you uncover more about the other side of stories like why exactly Ray Liotta had problem or the other voice actors such as CJ or Niko. Actually all they wanted was some extra pay since the game did really well and in Hollywood movies they did get extra cut if movie performs well at the box office and it's nothing wrong to ask for it since they did most of the main efforts as the actors they were the main attractions and video games generally takens maximum effort in terms of mocap and acting plus don't forget that games always year after year generate money were as movie is just a one time go. So all and all I believe actors were right asking for extra cut and Rockstar as a billion dollar company could've easily effort. Our favourite characters like Tommy or CJ or Niko didn't appear in future entries simply because actors ask little bit more for the squeal or just some extra pay and Rockstar refuse because they can.

I can’t lie, I thought this was gameranx lol. That’s how professional (with a hint of fun/informal-ness) this host sounds 👏🏽

[@Journey_to_who_knows]

So what I can gather from this video is that they expect them to not complain about not getting paid a lot

[@AlamoOriginal]

Indeed there needs to be more to be done about the legal issues to overcome the pay

[@knomies227]

I’d like to hear how Rockstar’s relationship with James Woods was. I think he is a gamer himself

[@spiralfirst6488]

Surely when you're offered a job you either accept it or refuse. Moaning later on that the people who employed you are making lots of money is not your concern. I think it would be great to be part of such a massive game. I'm sure many unknown but talented actors would be happy to be involved, with or without a vast pay cheque.

[@rustlemejimmys]

Well its more they don't get any information on the size and scope of the game since all the information is on lockdown and they all sign NDA's prior to work. Impossible for them to properly negotiate. Id be pissed off I was only paid 100k to be the main character in a game with a development cost of 100 million which then made 500 million in its first week. Which you couldn't have known since rockstar wouldn't have told him anything. Voice actors in games get stiffed

No wonder why marty hated liotta

[@KRAFTWERK2K6]

To be honest, Royalties are an important topic that NEEDS to be addressed properly. If the actors you hired MADE your game a huge success, at least have the decency to let them have their piece of the action as well. ESPECIALLY when your game literally makes so much money, it basically finances your next 3 games and keeps making money like crazy. I love actors and respect their talent a lot so i'd forever be grateful for their participation in making something a huge success.

[@xx1norm1xx]

Main and supporting actors should be able to receive royalty payments imo or at the very least have a choice like movie actors. Alot of the time a characters performance makes the game, its why we complain when publishers replace voices with celebrities or just new actors. Nolan North, Jennifer Hale, Troy Baker, Michael Ironside, Lance Reddick, etc all do an amazing job with their characters and imo are irreplaceable.

Loggins is my favourite DJ in GTA5.

[@nismocash989]

Nah bro Lee scratch Perry is a monster, logg is good too

[@Mirokuofnite]

I wonder what Axl Rose felt being a DJ in GTA SA. Especially since he plays sort of a self parody and at the time he was a huge recluse who never left his house at the time.

Ray only had a problem with money and royalties thats it

Kenny Loggins was about to be a DJ in VC, or at least game was about to consists his song

[@zidannemaulana1537]

Imagine GTA 6 voice actor in 2025 be like: Nick Apostolides as Jason Jeannie Tirado as Lucia It seems the voice actors of Leon and Rose from Resident Evil seems not paid royalty payment for Jason and Lucia

[@capivaraofwar]

I reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally enjoyed Rickie's role in the game. I'd love if they were to bring back comedy club's in gta.(yes i know split side exists in gta v but you can't watch shows in it.)

[@mrmegaknight9082]

I would love to see Sarah silverman in gta 6 when they bring comedy back

[@Busternutt69]

I coulda swore Ray Liotta was actually happy about working with Rstar, he just jokingly said he wished he asked for more money and Dan Houser got super butthurt about that cause he cant take a joke. come to think of it, do they have to pay every actor again for the remastered Trilogy?

[@BadaBing420]

it sucks that lazlow left the company he was the best

[@user-nh3gu1ge3d]

I generally don't put much stock in people bitching about not being paid enough, but the guy who made 100k for 15 months of work while being the lead(?) in the game making about a half a billion dollars IS pretty shitty. The dude was probably living in California, with a top tax bracket of 13%, plus crazy high cost of living, and all the other income taxes, he could probably barely afford rent. That's only 6 grand PRE TAX. probably like 3800 a month after taxes. It IS pretty fucked up that you could be the lead in a half billion dollar venture and not even be able to afford to make ends meet in a shitty apartment. Dude is valid af.

[@andrewmarr8279]

Rockstar sound like a bunch of Cs to be fair

[@UndeadFleshgod]

Because they worked with voice actors who are more familiar with games? Steven Ogg still says it's a cartoon...

so burt is not ok with dying in video games but hes ok with voicing a german shepherd that dies, ok.

Hamood Habibi your better off not knowing it

[@CyranofromBergerac]

@I only speak English listen to the wise man, do NOT go down that rabbit hole. Some things you are better off not knowing.

[@Sheridan2LT]

I think it comes down to, well you did like the most significant acting gig in one of the highest grossing things of the year. And all you got was pay to give you a "better off year", rather than like 10-15 years of legit vacation which let's be honest, was kind of literally within your reach.
