According to them, both Matt Burns and Manni L. Perez (the suspected voice artist for Lucia) have worked for Rockstar Games in the past. Matt also appeared in the popular American drama show Law & Order. It is popular within the Grand Theft Auto fanbase as many other voice actors from the series, such as Ned Luke and Steven Ogg, have appeared in it.

The user also shared a voice sample of Matt Burns comparing it to Jason’s dialogs from the September 2022 GTA 6 leaks. They claimed that both voices sound very similar.

In a follow-up tweet, jericho681 claimed that Jason’s appearance from the official Grand Theft Auto 6 cover art is very identical to the anticipated actor’s looks. They also pointed out a gap in Matt’s resume between 2018 and 2021.

Another user shared a screenshot of a post from Matt Burns’ Instagram profile where the latter was seen putting a caption reading “Trust”. It is the only dialog said by Jason in the GTA 6 trailer, and the post was also shared the day after the video’s release. Therefore, according to fans, the anticipated actor was teasing his involvement in Grand Theft Auto 6 with the cryptic post.

The above theories surely look intriguing and can compel any uninformed fan to believe them. However, nothing can be taken for sure until Rockstar Games officially introduces them in the future.


Matt Burns voices the fictional character of John Cohn in Grand Theft Auto 5, who then plays the role of Chip in the in-game movie Meltdown. This is the only known official affiliation the actor has with the studio so far.

One could also expect to know more about Jason after the GTA 6 trailer 2.
