According to an interview with Dan Houser in Vulture, Reynolds had a temper, and the creators had to coax Liotta into taking his part seriously.Īll this drama comes on the tail of rumors that Grand Theft Auto 6 is currently in production behind closed doors at Rockstar. This had more to do with their egos, apparently. Rockstar has had issues with big names like Burt Reynolds and Ray Liotta too. The performer doesn't paint a pretty picture, portraying Rockstar's management team as cheapskates who make millions from the work of poorly paid voice actors. I'll NEVER work with again unless I get a few million to the. "I was going to beat the s*** out of that dude that played Niko Bellic for talking down on but for what? He exposed the truth. He raises some important questions, both about voice actor rates and cultural appropriation in video games.
Young Maylay seems to feel that Rockstar is profiting off of a culture it has nothing to do with, and that the company isn't properly compensating the people that make it more authentic.
It's another gray area," Hollick clarified. I recorded those lines for the game, but now they're all over television. The first GTA 4 trailer generated something like 40 million hits online, and that's my voice all over it, and I get nothing. "For instance, our contracts say nothing about the use of voices for promotional purposes over the Internet. Voice actors like Hollick and Malay feel exploited and under-compensated for the roles they played in making Rockstar a multi-million dollar company. "Obviously I'm incredibly thankful to Rockstar for the opportunity to be in this game when I was just a nobody, an unknown quantity," he said in an interview with The New York Times. "But it's tough, when you see Grand Theft Auto 4 out there as the biggest thing going right now, when they're making hundreds of millions of dollars, and we don't see any of it." In exchange for his iconic performance, Hollick made a six figure flat rate, a number that pales in comparison to Grand Theft Auto 4's wild success. Like Young Maylay, he doesn't have warm and fuzzy feelings for Rockstar.
Hollick voiced fan favorite Liberty City immigrant, Niko Bellic. Not enough according to previous actors like Michael Hollick. The real question here is: how much does Rockstar pay their voice actors? Grand Theft Auto 5 has sold more copies than any other game in the US and Grand Theft Auto Online has kept the cash rolling in almost a decade after the game's release. The highest selling game for the PlayStation 2 back in its heyday, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas also held its own financially. It's no secret that Rockstar makes a ridiculous amount of money from Grand Theft Auto.
