Manni L. Perez, the actress long rumored to be playing Lucia in GTA 6, has gone viral after dodging a swarm of comments from Grand Theft Auto fans during a recent livestream.

Livestream Interactions

Rockstar Games has refrained from confirming the vast majority of the cast of next month's new GTA game, but that hasn't stopped fans from piecing a list together themselves. Perez is one name theorists have talked about for years, so she took a few minutes to let viewers get to know her while masterfully dodging a swarm of GTA 6 comments along the way.

Reaching a peak of more than 2,100 viewers, Perez spent her 12-minute livestream talking about her life. She lives in a studio apartment with a dog, loves to cook, and as far as official announcements are concerned, is not confirmed to star in the upcoming video game.

"But yeah, no, I'm not rich. I'm a regular person," Perez said when responding to fans who assumed she was wealthy. "I live in a small studio apartment, which I love. I have my tiny, little itty-bitty kitchen, and it's just me and my dog."

"I want a green truck," she said with a smile while ignoring comments mentioning "Lucia" and "GTA 6." Some respondents jokingly noted that she had Jason to keep her company, referencing the game's male protagonist, while others asked if she was ready for next month's release.

Background and History

While Rockstar has not officially confirmed her casting, Perez has a history of live-action and voice roles, including appearances in Jessica Jones, The Blacklist, and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. She also previously played a blackjack dealer in Grand Theft Auto Online.

GTA 6 is scheduled to launch for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on November 19. Fans have also long speculated that actor Dylan Rourke plays Lucia's partner in crime, Jason, though he has likewise not been officially confirmed.

Actor Stephen Root has confirmed he will be seen playing drug trafficker Brian Heder. Otherwise, audiences may need to wait until the game launches to see the full confirmed cast.

Fan Speculation

Tracking down voice actors is common among Grand Theft Auto enthusiasts, some of whom have gone to extreme lengths to analyze trailers and marketing materials ahead of major releases.

As marketing ramps up ahead of launch, anticipation continues to build around Rockstar's upcoming title.
