GTA 5 actor says 'I must've auditioned for over 60 characters' for GTA 6, but Rockstar ghosted him — 'I feel like someone who's in love with a girl and then she just dumped me'

Grand Theft Auto 5 actor Robert Bogue has shared that he auditioned for over 60 roles in Grand Theft Auto 6, but Rockstar Games never responded to his inquiries. Bogue, known for his portrayal of FIB agent Steve Haines in GTA 5, expressed his disappointment and frustration during a recent chat with an X user named Burak via Instagram.

Bogue auditioned for a multitude of characters, both prominent and minor, but never received any feedback from Rockstar. He revealed, "I must've auditioned for over 60 characters. Some were big, some were small. I didn't care. I just wanted to be in it." Bogue's frustration stemmed from the fact that he didn't receive any of the roles he auditioned for.

He speculated that Rockstar might have an unofficial policy against reusing actors, which led him to feel rejected multiple times. Bogue stated, "I feel like someone who's in love with a girl and then she just dumped me." He emphasized that he doesn't have any insider information about GTA 6 beyond what has been publicly released.

Following the conversation, Bogue expressed regret for publicly sharing his audition count, stating, "I'm sorry to throw Rockstar under the bus publicly about how many auditions I've had, but the truth is the truth." Despite the setback, Bogue acknowledged that being an actor means experiencing rejection, and he hopes for a breakthrough in the future.

GTA 6 is scheduled to launch on November 19 for PS5, Xbox Series X, and Series S. Rockstar recently announced that a special presentation for GTA 6, titled Grand Theft Auto 6: An Extended Look, will be revealed on August 27. This video will initially air on Netflix and subsequently be made available on YouTube.
