Grand Theft Auto V cast leaked?

By Robert Purchese Published 8 March, 2011

Hollywood casting for Take-Two's Rush.

Grand Theft Auto V may be codenamed Rush, according to a Hollywood casting call - and these may be some of the game's star characters.

They were picked out by search engine sleuth Superannuation on Twitter.

The character descriptions reveal a modern day Los Angeles and a rag-tag bunch of personalities befitting of a Grand Theft Auto experience.

Note that the main character isn't detailed. Or is he/she?

"Noticed that call mentions two characters not listed in the call: Simon & Albert de Silva. Could one of those be the main character?" tweeted Superannuation.

"It makes sense that the main character would be cast separately, no?"

Simon lives near and terrifies Nervous Jerry, and Albert de Silva is the father of Kevin, "a fat, FPS playing gamer" that smokes "a lot" of weed.

Is the hero a father?

There's a slim possibility that this could be a casting call for Rockstar's other MIA PS3 exclusive Agent - slim until you read that Agent is a game about 1970s Cold War spies, not "soccer mums".
