By A new rumour about GTA 6’s cast comes straight out of the Launch Gallery. In one screenshot two men sit in the back of a car, a bearded one in a cream suit with a pistol and a younger one in a patterned shirt beside him, and fans think the younger man looks a lot like Alex Hernandez. The actor is best known as Lincoln Clay, the lead of Mafia III, and in 2025 he appeared in MindsEye. There’s nothing official behind it: the whole theory rests on the shape of a face.
The rumour in short
| What | Details |
|---|---|
| Screenshot | Launch Gallery, November 5: two men in the back seat of a car |
| Suspected actor | Alex Hernandez |
| Known for | Lincoln Clay in Mafia III (voice, likeness, motion capture); MindsEye (2025) |
| Evidence | A facial resemblance, nothing more |
| Status | Rumour; Rockstar hasn’t named the GTA 6 cast |
What fans are comparing
The man in the patterned shirt has short dark hair, heavy brows, a strong jaw and a slightly crooked look over his shoulder. Put a photo of Alex Hernandez next to him and the likeness is easy to see, especially around the eyes and the brow line. Rockstar builds faces from scans of real actors, so when a character looks like someone, it’s sometimes because it is someone.
Who Alex Hernandez is
Hernandez is an American actor who did the voice, the face and the motion capture for Lincoln Clay, the Vietnam veteran at the centre of Mafia III (2016), a crime story set in a fictional New Orleans. In 2025 he played one of the main roles in MindsEye. That’s exactly the kind of resume Rockstar likes: experienced in full performance capture, a known face to game players and not a Hollywood star.
Why it’s only a rumour
Resemblance is weak evidence. Rockstar’s NPCs are built from hundreds of scanned faces, and some of them will look like someone famous by pure chance. The studio also keeps its cast quiet until the credits, so we probably won’t know before November 19. The man in the cream suit next to him, by the way, is a new face too, and neither of them has a name yet. The whole gallery is on our Launch Gallery page, and the actors we do know are on our page about the real cast of GTA 6.
This is the second face-spotting story from the same gallery: in a club screenshot fans recognised the rapper Kodak Black, helped by a copy of his pendant. Hernandez has no such detail, only the face.
As a technical artist, I’d add that the skin in this shot is unusually detailed for a background character: pores, acne scars and stubble. Rockstar doesn’t usually spend that on a random NPC, which suggests the man in the patterned shirt has a proper role in the story, whoever plays him.
