Which actor provided the voice and motion capture for Franklin Clinton in GTA V?

Shawn Fonteno provided the voice and motion capture for Franklin Clinton in GTA V.

Fonteno, who also performed under the name Solo, brought Franklin to life in the 2013 game. Franklin is one of GTA V’s three protagonists, alongside Michael De Santa and Trevor Philips. His performance covers both the character’s spoken dialogue and the physical movements used in cutscenes and gameplay sequences.

The role drew on Fonteno’s acting experience and his familiarity with Los Angeles street culture, which helped shape Franklin’s voice and mannerisms. Franklin’s story follows his attempt to move beyond low-level repo work and gang-related pressures while building a new life in Los Santos.

Players often confuse the cast because several GTA V actors became strongly associated with their characters. Ned Luke played Michael, Steven Ogg played Trevor, and Michael Hollick voiced Niko Bellic in GTA IV. Fonteno later reprised Franklin for GTA Online content, including The Contract update.
