There has been a wide variety of voice actors in the Grand Theft Auto series. Neither the original Grand Theft Auto nor Grand Theft Auto 2 featured any voice actors credited to specific roles. The first video game in the series to do so was Grand Theft Auto III which, despite a limited budget and the series' low profile at the time, featured several notable actors from film and television. The next game, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, featured more film actors, including Ray Liotta as the player character. Although the following title, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, also featured many notable film actors, such as Samuel L. Jackson (pictured), Peter Fonda and James Woods, it had been decided that the use of such actors should be reduced, particularly for leading roles. From Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories through to Grand Theft Auto V, the series has continued using lesser-known actors to voice main characters, but still uses celebrities and real-life radio personalities to voice the DJs of the many radio stations featured in each game.
