The celebrated cast of Grand Theft Auto 5 - Ned Luke, Shawn Fonteno, and Steven Ogg - have publicly expressed interest in reprising their roles as Michael De Santa, Franklin Clinton, and Trevor Phillips for the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6. These actors brought to life some of gaming's most memorable characters in Grand Theft Auto 5, and while many supporting characters have reappeared in GTA Online updates, fans are particularly eager to see the trio reunite for one last adventure in the new installment.

Originally launched in 2013, GTA 5 has seen multiple re-releases across console generations, from PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 to current-gen systems. After numerous graphical enhancements and online expansions, the gaming community is preparing to transition from Los Santos to Vice City, with Grand Theft Auto 6 scheduled for release on May 26, 2026. While many welcome this change, there remains significant nostalgia for the original trio of protagonists.

During a recent Comic Con panel (via Dexerto), the actors enthusiastically responded to questions about potential returns in GTA 6 DLC, joking that fans should lobby Rockstar for a "final score" storyline. This positive reception has fueled speculation about possible cameos or expanded roles in the upcoming title.

While primarily known for their GTA roles, these actors boast impressive resumes beyond gaming. Ogg has appeared in Better Call Saul and The Walking Dead, Luke in Law & Order and Boardwalk Empire, and Fonteno in various film and television projects. Despite their busy schedules, their willingness to revisit these iconic characters speaks to the special connection they share with the franchise.

Notably, Steven Ogg has addressed past speculation about distancing himself from Trevor Phillips, clarifying that while he embraces the character's legacy, he prefers to be recognized by his real name rather than his fictional counterpart. This nuanced perspective highlights the complex relationship between actors and their most famous roles.

Among the trio, Ned Luke's Michael De Santa remains the only protagonist without a major GTA Online appearance, despite fan requests. With Shawn Fonteno returning for The Contract update and Ogg making minor appearances as Trevor, many speculate that GTA 6 might finally provide the perfect opportunity for Michael's comeback.
