  "account": "Robert Bogue, who portrayed FIB agent Steve Haines in Grand Theft Auto 5, has revealed that he auditioned for over 60 roles in GTA 6, but Rockstar Games failed to contact him for any of them. The actor's disappointment is evident, as he expressed his frustration with Rockstar's apparent lack of communication regarding his audition status. Bogue has previously worked with Rockstar Games in other titles such as Red Dead Revolver, Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony, and, most notably, Grand Theft Auto 5. Despite his extensive experience with the studio, it seems Rockstar may have decided against including Bogue in GTA 6. Former Rockstar actors, such as Ned Luke and Ray Liotta, have had their own disputes with the company, which may have contributed to the current communication gap.",
