25 Celebrities That Cameoed On Grand Theft Auto
Description
Hey, remember that time Ray Liotta basically played Scarface? Yeah, he voiced protagonist Tommy Vercetti in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City — a game I spent waaay too much time playing as a young, impressionable teenager. So, as I sit in my jail cell and think on my many, many crimes, I figure I might as well list some of my favorite celebrity cameos from across the GTA universe. We’re talking everything from Will Forte in the spinoff The Lost and the Damned to Dan Cook, Danny Trejo, and Samuel L. Jackson — all of whom appear across the GTA universe.
For example, Suicide Squad actress and, uh, interpretive dancer Cara Delevigne has her own radio show in GTA V, playing the DJ for Non Stop Pop FM — which might come as a surprise to many, since she’s far more energetic than is typical of her more popular big screen roles. Oh and it turns out that in addition to being in games — and ads for games, as was the case for her sorta Call of Duty appearance— she’s also an avid gamer, and has participated in a Rockstar-sponsored livestream for GTA V. Even her in-game character is a gamer, often espousing her love for the fictional video game Righteous Slaughter 7.
Rapper Ice T shows up in that game as Madd Dogg in GTA: San Andreas, and he is, in a massive break from reality… a rapper. When the story picks up, Madd Dogg is alre ady super successful, but comes into a bit of trouble thanks to some unhelpful murder on the part of Carl Johnson, who kills Madd Dogg’s manager as a means of helping another rapper’s career. In a moment of beautiful irony and classic GTA storytelling, Johnson winds up as Madd Dogg’s manager. Last we checked, his career was still chuggin’ along.
