Report: GTA 5 Lead Actor Discovered?

Ned Luke could be the lead in Rockstar's next Grand Theft Auto game.

The internet's best detectives may have tracked down the principal voice actor in Grand Theft Auto V.

The GTA V IMDb page lists actor Ned Luke as playing the role of Albert De Silva. Pictures of the actor, who has also appeared in Law & Order, show a strong likeness with the character glimpsed in the GTA V trailer. The spot was made by an eagle-eyed contributor to GTAForums.

GTA V's Protagonist

Actor Ned Luke

A recent tweet by actor Jimmy Taenaka has lent credence to this rumour; it said "my fellow thespian Ned Luke is the lead voice and profile in the upcoming game by Rockstar Grand Theft Auto 5! Way to go Ned! Wholly Molly!"

He followed it up with, "Grand Theft Auto V trailer with Ned Luke our homey as the LEAD!"

But it seems someone may have had a word. Again on Twitter, he said, "@RockstarGames #GTAV looks awesome! it's not official but I know that voice and look #NedLuke He is bigger & badder than Statham... lookout."

The casting of Ned Luke as Albert De Silva would put an end to the ongoing theory that Tommy Vercetti would be GTA 5's protagonist.
