Fans of the Grand Theft Auto franchise have been eagerly awaiting official news about the highly anticipated sixth instalment of the popular video game series, Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6). The developer, Rockstar Games, has confirmed the game is under development, but details remain sparse. However, rumours and leaks have started to circulate, giving gamers a glimpse into what to expect and creating a flurry of speculation, particularly around the casting of characters.
Last year, a series of leaks brought some intriguing aspects of the game to light. The leaks suggest that the game will take place in the iconic Vice City and introduce at least two new playable characters. The duo is expected to have a relationship similar to the notorious outlaw couple, Bonnie and Clyde, injecting an interesting dynamic into the game’s narrative. This set of information has drawn substantial attention and is fuelling gamers’ imaginations on what the game might unfold.
One key question on every fan’s mind is: who will play these exciting new characters? Actor Brian Zampella has found himself at the centre of speculation. Zampella’s Instagram posts, which feature him dressed similarly to one of the purported characters named Jason, and his other vague hints have stirred up discussions in the gaming community. However, his involvement remains unconfirmed, with the actor neither denying nor confirming his role in GTA 6. His seeming enjoyment of the attention the rumours have generated adds to the mystery.

The buzz around Zampella’s potential involvement took an interesting turn when popular YouTuber LegacyKillaHD shared a tweet stating that a trusted source confirmed that Zampella isn’t playing Jason. The actual actor’s identity remains undisclosed, further fuelling the speculation. Despite this reveal, Zampella’s connection to Rockstar Games, as indicated by his Instagram posts with individuals who have previously worked with the company, keeps him in the pool of possible actors.
Adding another layer of complexity to the casting speculation, a member from GTA Forums, TheHoover69, proposed another candidate. According to him, Matthew Metzger, an actor with a previous relationship with Rockstar Games, might be the one to take on the role of Jason. The theory further hinges on the fact that Metzger’s characteristics seemingly align more closely with the character of Jason.
As we eagerly anticipate the release of Grand Theft Auto VI, expected to be possibly as soon as next year, the mysteries surrounding the game continue to unravel, piece by piece. Until Rockstar Games offers more concrete information, all we can do is ride the waves of rumours, leaks, and speculation, building our excitement for what promises to be an exceptional addition to the Grand Theft Auto franchise.
