Grand Theft Auto Steals Some Famous Voice Talent

Grand Theft Auto has gotten some major flack over the years for its portrayal of illegal activities and rampant imagery of violence, especially against women. However, September 17 will mark the release of Grand Theft Auto V, which contrary to the title will actually be the fifteenth game in the series.

While the game is famous for car theft, it also borrowed some pretty famous talent to voice the characters. You may recognize some of the voices behind the controversial video game as the same actors and actresses that have appeared in your favorite crime film. For instance Samuel L. Jackson portrays Officer Frank Tenpenny, the chief antagonist of GTA: San Andreas. Think you recognize the voice behind GTA: Vice City's lead character? It's none other than crime film vet, Ray Liotta.
