Rockstar Games has shared a special obituary for actor Tom Sizemore following his death. Rockstar Games has worked with some of the most prolific actors in the GTA series, from Burt Reynolds to Samuel L. Jackson and Ray Liotta. The developer has managed to attract some of the biggest names in Hollywood to its games.
While they’ve moved away from big names in recent years and opted for more unknown talent, their games are still star-studded and fondly remembered by many. Many people have also been able to experience some of the older Grand Theft Auto games that featured these big names, most recently with the remastered GTA trilogy that came out for modern devices in 2021.
Tom Sizemore's cool and phenomenal character work was an inspiration to all of us here at Rockstar Games long before his performance as Sonny Forelli in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Rest in peace Tom. pic.twitter.com/2mdyh02Xhq

Tom Sizemore is one of the biggest names in the Grand Theft Auto franchise, known for his work on blockbusters like Saving Private Ryan and Heat. Sizemore played Italian gangster Sonny Forelli in GTA Vice City and helped create one of the series' most memorable characters.
All indications are that Rockstar Games will return to Vice City for the next Grand Theft Auto game. The events of Grand Theft Auto VI and beyond take place in a different 'world'. Either way, we don't know if we'll see actors like Sizemore or Ray Liotta in Grand Theft Auto VI, and it seems like an early question, and only time will tell.
