'Florida Joker' Demands Speaking Role in GTA 6 Amid Legal Threats to Rockstar
Lawrence Sullivan, infamously known as the 'Florida Joker', has escalated his accusations against Rockstar Games, now demanding a speaking role in the upcoming "Grand Theft Auto 6" (GTA 6). Sullivan, who rose to internet notoriety following his 2017 arrest, claims Rockstar used his likeness for a character in the game's trailer and is threatening legal action if his demands are not met.
The controversy began after the release of the GTA 6 trailer last December. Sullivan alleges that a purple-haired, tattooed character in the trailer is based on his image. Initially, he demanded at least a million dollars from Rockstar for his supposed 'appearance' in the game. This claim mirrors a previous unsuccessful lawsuit by Lindsay Lohan against Rockstar for allegedly using her likeness in GTA 5.

In a recent development, Sullivan posted a TikTok video proposing a new deal: voicing the character and adding more storyline to his role, in addition to a multi-million dollar compensation and a royalty agreement. However, such royalties are rare in video game voice acting.
As the situation unfolds, Rockstar has not publicly responded to Sullivan's claims. The gaming community is watching closely as the dispute between the Florida Joker and Rockstar adds an unexpected twist to the anticipation surrounding GTA 6.
