“I’m a little disappointed with Rockstar”: GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption actor auditioned for over 60 roles in GTA 6 and never heard back
An actor who has appeared in Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption said he is disappointed with Rockstar after auditioning for more than 60 roles in Grand Theft Auto 6 without receiving a response. The claim highlights the scale and secrecy surrounding casting for the highly anticipated game, while also reflecting the uncertainty actors can face during large production processes.
The actor said the auditions covered numerous potential parts but that he never heard back from the studio. Rockstar has not publicly commented on the auditions or confirmed the game’s wider cast, so it remains unclear whether any of the roles were filled, changed or still under consideration.
- Actor says Rockstar never replied after 60-plus GTA 6 auditions.
- He expressed disappointment with the lack of response.
- Rockstar has not commented on the casting claim.

I'm a little disappointed with Rockstar (2013) and the studio's tightly guarded approach to casting: Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption are hugely popular video game series made by Rockstar Games, and voice and performance actors are hired to play characters through auditions much like film or television roles. Grand Theft Auto 6, the next instalment in the series, is one of the most anticipated video game releases in years, and its cast has not been officially confirmed.
Actors who audition for such roles do not always find out whether they got the part, and studios like Rockstar typically keep casting details secret until closer to release. This means it is common for performers to try out for a role and simply never hear back, without that necessarily meaning anything about the outcome.
This background matters because it explains why an individual actor's account of auditioning many times without a response is notable: it offers a rare glimpse into how casting works behind the scenes for a major game, even though Rockstar itself has not confirmed or explained the process publicly.
