My Picks For a Grand Theft Auto 5 Movie Cast...
by maleah_n | created - 28 Dec 2014 | updated - 28 Dec 2014 | PublicGTA V being made into a movie will never happen....at least I highly doubt it ever would. BUT if it did...this would be what I hope the cast would look like.
1. Ned Luke
Actor | Grand Theft Auto V
Ned Luke was born on October 4, 1958 in Danville, Illinois, USA. He is an actor and writer, known for Grand Theft Auto V (2013), Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999) and Boardwalk Empire (2010). He has been married to Amy Sax since November 12, 1997. They have one child.
Who better to play Michael De Santa than the man who was the voice of the character? Plus the character was modeled after him so he looks like Michael as well. Seems like a win-win to me!
Character: Michael De Santa
2. Steven Ogg
Actor | Grand Theft Auto V
He is an acclaimed Canadian voice and motion capture artist for the hit game Grand Theft Auto V (2013) in the role of Trevor Philips. He was nominated in numerous events for the role including a VGX nomination for Best Voice Actor.
He was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada on November 4, 1973. Before ...
Again...could there possibly be anyone better to play Trevor than the man that IS Trevor? It's almost scary how much Rockstar made Trevor look like Steven.
Character: Trevor Phillips
3. Shawn Fonteno
Actor | Grand Theft Auto V
Shawn D. "Solo" Fonteno is an African-American actor, voice actor, DJ rapper and recording artist who is best known as the voice and the acting performer of Franklin Clinton from the video game Grand Theft Auto V (2013).

As you can probably tell by now...I'd prefer that the main three characters are played by the actors that voiced them...
Character: Franklin Clinton
4. Nate Parker
Actor | The Birth of a Nation
Nate Parker was born on November 18, 1979 in Norfolk, Virginia, USA. He is an actor and producer, known for The Birth of a Nation (2016), Arbitrage (2012) and Non-Stop (2014). He has been married to Sarah DiSanto since 2007. They have four children.
...BUT if I had to pick someone else for Franklin...this would be it. I think Ned as Michael and Steven as Trevor are non-negotiable.
Character: Franklin Clinton (2nd choice)
5. Kevin Hart

I know she doesn't really resemble the actual character, but I just think she'd be a good fit and could go toe to toe with Ned Luke's Michael.
