GTA 5's Franklin's Opinions On GTA 6's Lucia (Feat. Shawn Fonteno) | GTFM

We sit down with GTA 5’s Franklin, Shawn Fonteno, to talk about GTA 6, what he hopes to see in the upcoming entry, what it was like working with Rockstar Games, his thoughts on Lucia in #GTA6, plus his GTA RP server and KZbin channel. If you’ve played GTA 5 from #RockstarGames, which let’s be honest, who hasn’t at this point - you’re probably familiar with Franklin, Trevor and Micheal. With everything showcased in the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer, the voice actor who portrayed Franklin in Grand Theft Auto 5 has a lot to impart to whomever the actors are that’ll be taking on the role of the new protagonists in GTA 6, Lucia and Jason. We get pretty deep in this episode of GTFM, so be sure to watch till the end.

Its awesome to see some of the GTA voice actors being more active in the comunity since we havn't really got that before like we do now 🤙 Makes it alot easier these days with social media and platforms like KZbin, plus everybody has smart phones.

His enthusiasm and gratitude for the franchise really makes me happy

[@veeru6911]

Technically he will be in GTA 6. He would start his RP in GTA 6

[@Jake-TorukMakto-Sully]

That’s true, did Shawn say he wanted to transfer his roleplay or FiveM server to GTA6 when the time comes? Cause if you think about it there will be both FiveM and SixM.
