Unlike other gaming companies, Rockstar Games usually casts some less-known voice actors in their newer games. With GTA: Vice City, however, this was not the case, as this game is full of spectacular celebrities. Let's have a look at all the voice actors who provided voices for Vice City characters.

GTA Vice City Voice Actors - Main Characters

Rockstar Games, the company behind the GTA series, hired big-name actors to provide voices for its game characters. Even today, gamers and critics alike still enjoy characters from GTA: Vice City. The following sections reveal the people behind the voices that you may have heard in this classic video game.

Tommy Vercetti [Ray Liotta]

Ray Liotta, a renowned actor who had roles in Goodfellas and The Sopranos, has provided his voice for the main character in Vice City - Tommy Vercetti. The main character of Vice City, Vercetty, was also the first-ever character in the GTA series that was actually speaking, which wasn't the case for the first three games where the main characters were silent. Because of his great voice-acting performance, Liotta has won a few awards.

In interviews and commentary, Liotta has discussed his frustration with voice acting in video games, citing the limits of the medium when compared to film. Despite these limitations, he thought Vice City was successful. Similarly, Liotta has talked about his pay as an actor in interviews over the years but has not raised this issue since Rockstar's newer games have become successful.
