Who Is Jason in GTA 6? Everything We Know So Far

Ever since the first GTA 6 trailer aired, fans have been hard at work uncovering all the potential clues baked into the visuals. This is especially the case for the two protagonists at the heart of the game – Jason and Lucia. While the latter had more of a presence in the trailer, Jason remained a subject of mystery. But thanks to the newly-released GTA 6 second trailer, we now have a ton of information about the character. So, if you’re looking to learn more about him, we’ve compiled a comprehensive guide on everything to know about GTA 6’s Jason.

Who is Jason in GTA 6?

Jason Duval is one of the twin protagonists in GTA 6 and plays a prominent role in the narrative alongside Lucia. The character grew up around grifters and crooks, but eventually joined the army in an attempt to set things straight. However, this endeavor capsized at some point, and Jason found himself in the Leonida Keys region working for local drug runners.

Around this time, he meets Lucia, and the pair strike a formidable bond as they go around pulling off audacious scores together. Despite a penchant for being on the wrong side of the law, Jason prefers the easy life, but “things just keep getting harder.”

We caught a first glimpse of the character in the 2023 GTA 6 trailer. However, his presence in the initial reveal can be described as brief at best. Fortunately, Jason was effectively the focal point of the second trailer, as we got a proper look at his character model, his colorful associates, and an extended look at his relationship with Lucia.

Speaking of which, his model looks to have undergone significant changes, as his appearance was much different in the leaked gameplay footage from 2022 and even the first trailer. His hair now appears longer and thicker, at least during the first 40 seconds of the trailer. And even when it’s trimmed, his facial details, such as cheekbones and forehead wrinkles, are more pronounced.

Bonnie and Clyde Dynamic with Lucia

Both trailers and the elaborate GTA 6 info dump clearly show that the duo are partners-in-crime. In the first one, we saw them pull off a daring vehicle escape alongside separate shots of Jason and Lucia holding up a convenience store. But in the second one, their escapades are heightened to the nth degree as we see them raid banks with SMGs in hand, blow up police convoys, and straddle away some sort of container by attaching it to a vehicle.

The second trailer also features multiple shots of the pair having lighthearted conversations and getting intimate, further outlining just how close they are. It also shows off two separate safehouses, meaning their dwellings receive an upgrade as players progress through the story. This quote typifies their dynamic from Jason: “If anything happens, I’m right behind you.” The duo is hell-bent on earning the ‘good life’ together, and is willing to do whatever it takes.

Jason’s Friends & Associates

The second GTA 6 trailer and its official page have provided a ton of new information about the various side characters in the game. Some of them have proclaimed ties to Jason, starting with his friend, Cal Hampton. The homebody has a taste for alcohol and the internet, a typically dangerous combination, but we’ll have to see how that plays out.

As for his appearance in the trailer, the character can be seen calling for a round of shots and hauling cargo onto a plane. Given this, it’s safe to assume that Cal will likely assist Jason in his criminal endeavors.

Another character worth is highlighting is Brian Heder. We see the wisened veteran during the first few seconds of the trailer, as he nags Jason about some collection jobs. While that sums up his appearance in the trailer, we got some key details about Heder via the official page. The character is a local drug runner who employs Jason to complete a few shakedowns, and he even lets our protagonist stay rent-free at one of his properties.

As dingy as those dwellings might be, we suspect Hedge could be the primary mission-giver during the initial section of the game. It also seems likely that Jason will be moving some drugs for the character, as we saw him lending Cal a hand in those above ‘hauling cargo’ shots.

The final character of note is Raul Batista, a seasoned bank robber whose ties to Jason haven’t yet been explained. It’s safe to assume that Batista will participate in or orchestrate bank robberies in collaboration with Jason. This is evidenced by a screenshot that displays Batista fending off enemies with Lucia and a male character that is probably Jason in the backdrop.

Trouble in Paradise?

It’s well established that Rockstar loves weaving a major betrayal into their narrative. There are countless examples of this, and things have reached a point where players can see it coming from miles away. This spawned a popular theory that Jason could turn his back on Lucia at some point in the story.

The genesis of this theory is the very first shot of the 2023 trailer, which shows Lucia in an orange jumpsuit inside a prison. Puzzled by how she ended up there, some players online speculated that Jason could give up his partner to the police at some point in the story. However, we can safely put this speculation to rest since the second trailer reveals that it was Jason who picked up Lucia after she was released.

The ominous nature of their conversation towards the end of the first trailer provided further fuel to this theory. In the conversation, Lucia asks for a reaffirmation of trust, to which Jason replies, “Trust,” which is not the most convincing answer. But with the benefit of new information, the betrayal looks much less plausible. With that being said, we can’t rule it out entirely yet. For all we know, it could be Lucia turning her back on Jason instead.

We’ll have to wait until the release date to see exactly how their relationship turns out, but it certainly wouldn’t be surprising to see either character walk out on the other.

GTA 6 Jason Voice Actor: Speculations

Despite uttering a single word during the entire first trailer, Jason was linked to multiple voice actors. We hear a lot more of his VA in the second trailer, but there’s still no offical confirmation on who his actor really is. As far as speculative guesses go, these three actors stand out:

1. Gregory Connors

American actor Gregory Connors has emerged as the most likely candidate behind Jason’s voice. The 37-year-old has appeared on TV Shows such as The Blacklist, The Good Fight, and FBI’s: Most Wanted, alongside some on-stage roles. Rumors surrounding his involvement began after fans online discovered a ‘Lead’ voice-over role for Rockstar Games on his resume. The mention was also dated ‘2025’, the year GTA 6 is scheduled to release.

Furthermore, his CV has no media credits in 2023, which aligns with Rockstar’s potential voice-over timeline. Of course, this is just speculation at the moment, and the actor himself has yet to comment on these rumors.

2. Troy Baker

Troy Baker is a well-established voice actor credited with iconic roles such as Joel from The Last of Us and Sam Drake from Uncharted 4. Fans linked the actor to Jason purely out of speculation, but he was quick to shoot down those claims in an interview.

3. Bryan Zampella

Actor Bryan Zampella was linked to Jason shortly after the emergence of the 2022 leaks. He went on to lean into these rumors by posting images of himself cosplaying as the character, gray tank top and all.

He is also connected to Rockstar employees on social media, which stoked the fire even more. Without an official confirmation, it’s hard to deduce if the New York City native is actually involved in the game or if he’s taking fans for a ride.

That is pretty much everything we know about Jason in GTA 6 so far. We’ll be sure to update this article as we learn mroe about the character. Until then, let us know in the comments if you have your own voice actor theories for Jason.
