Niko Bellic, the main character in Grand Theft Auto IV, will not being making an appearance in the games newest expansion, The Lost and Damned. Many of us, at first, were very convinced that Niko would being making an appearance because of many unknown reasons.
But, when MTV’s Mutliplayer Blog asked Rockstar Games if Niko’s voice actor was brought back to contribute new lines, they got a very sharp response. “Hell no!” Which was the response given by Rockstar Games’ vice president of product development, Jeronimo Barrera.
Instead he pops up in the Lost and Damned in the recreation of an early GTA IV mission that they had served as the introduction to a major supporting character, Playboy X, recalling Niko as a “Slavic motherf—-r.”
Anyway, the reason for such a strong response was because Niko’s voice actor, Michael Hollick, complained to The New York Times last year that his union failed to take the proper steps to get him more than $100,000 dollars for his work on a game that generated more than a half billion dollars in sales in its first two weeks and has sold a few million more copies since then.
