Jim Cummings, the iconic American voice actor who has appeared in around 400 roles in films, television, and video games, revealed on X on May 14 that he'd done voiceover work for GTA 5.
While this fact wasn't exactly a secret, very few players were actually aware of it. This is because Cummings mostly worked on NPC voice lines and wasn't related to a major story character in that title.
Moreover, Rockstar is known for having lesser-known talents lend their voice to its games. As such, an actor as popular as Jim Cummings revealing he worked on a Grand Theft Auto game may come as a surprise to many fans.

- "Thanks for stopping by Ammu-Nation."
- "I can take the serial number off anything you buy."
- "I can't have you in here with a police escort."
- "Protect yourself and have a nice f*****g day."
Meanwhile, here are the dialogues Jim Cummings provided for Blaine County police officers in GTA 5:
- "Oh, Jimmy's going to have a lot of fun with your a** back at the station."
- "You are one step away from becoming an internet video, a*****e."
- "Oh, you're looking for a beat down. You got a chip on your shoulder?"

In addition, he's worked as a voice actor in popular titles like the Baldur's Gate Series, Dragon Age: Origins, Mass Effect 2, Fallout 4, Alpha Protocol, and several Winnie the Pooh games.
