In a first, GTA V gave players the opportunity to seamlessly switch between 3 protagonists, each with their own stories. And one of the leads was daddy dearest, Michael.
The wit and charm Michael had made him one of the coolest characters created in the franchise. And a fair share of this portrayal goes to the talented actor Ned Luke. As the game celebrates the successful decade of its online launch, the actor has a special message for the world of Los Santos.
“Something that is lost on many people, fans and critics alike. The online phenomenon that is GTA is like nothing we have ever seen, and may never see again. While we all wait for the next chapter, it’s pretty cool that we still have this,” wrote Led Nuke responding to an overwhelming fan post.
