Who voiced Franklin Clinton in Grand Theft Auto V?

Shawn Fonteno voiced Franklin Clinton in Grand Theft Auto V.

Franklin is one of the game's three playable protagonists, alongside retired bank robber Michael De Santa and volatile criminal Trevor Philips. He begins the story working as a repo man for a corrupt car dealership in Los Santos before meeting Michael during an attempted vehicle repossession.

Fonteno's performance helped define Franklin as a street-smart character trying to escape gang-related pressures and build a more successful life. His portrayal was recorded largely through motion-capture performance, allowing the actor's body movement and dialogue to shape Franklin's presence in the game's cinematic scenes.

The other listed names belong to different major characters. Ned Luke portrayed Michael De Santa, Steven Ogg portrayed Trevor Philips, and Danny Tamberelli is associated with other game voice work rather than Franklin. Fonteno also had a real-life connection to rapper Young Maylay, the voice of Carl “CJ” Johnson in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, through their cousin relationship.
