It’s official: Character actor Stephen Root has lent his voice to one of the underworld characters in Rockstar Games‘ highly anticipated “Grand Theft Auto 6” coming out this fall — although he suspects a lot of fans had already figured that out. Root provides the voice of Brian Heder, who is described in Rockstar’s character guide for the game as “a classic drug runner from the golden age of smuggling in the [Leonida] Keys,” the fictional locale inspired by the Florida Keys. Root said some online sleuths had already figured out he was in the game based on promotional clips Rockstar released.
And there were too many people who knew me from ‘King of the Hill’ and my voice,” the actor told the AP. In addition to his voice work for “King of the Hill,” Root is known for his turn as Milton in 1999 cult comedy “Office Space” and his turn in HBO’s dark-comedy series “Barry.”
