My Take

Ned Luke is proof that a single role can redefine a long career. He'd already logged 29 films and TV shows plus over a hundred commercials, the kind of steady working-actor resume most people never notice, and then Michael De Santa in Grand Theft Auto V made him iconic to a generation of gamers. I love that arc. Reprising the part in 2025 shows the character stuck. To me he's a reminder that voice and motion-capture work can outlast almost anything on screen, and that recognition sometimes arrives decades into the grind.
