Career

Grand Theft Auto V

Johnson voiced the character Lamar Davis for the 2013 video game Grand Theft Auto V. In 2021, Johnson reprised his role alongside Shawn Fonteno (who voiced Franklin Clinton in the same game) in a live-action re-enactment of a cutscene where Lamar "roasts" Franklin. [4] The original scene had experienced a resurgence in popularity years later when parodies were uploaded online, usually involving Lamar's character model being replaced with various popular culture icons. [5] [6] Later that year, Fonteno and Johnson again reprised their roles in downloadable content for Grand Theft Auto Online , which included a homage to the original roast cutscene. [7]
