Holly-wooood! I’ve been itching to tell everyone for the past year and in the last couple of weeks some close friends got to know the secret: my voice “talents” appear in Grand Theft Auto IV. I am a Liberty City “local”. Last summer, I was lucky enough to get a Rockstar recording invite from my friend Caroline. I went into a studio and shouted out about ten or twelve different phrases. I can’t remember the exact words, but it’s typical GTA talk: “Hey man, watch where you’re going!”, “Don’t make me…” My character is a 20-something writer who lives on the Upper West Side. Look for me in the game and come say “hi” – GTA-style.

My name appears in the booklet – yes, I know – along with hundreds of other names. But I’m telling you: this is how all the “greats” got their start.

I’m excited that New York City is the inspiration for Liberty City – it makes me love NYC even more. I just picked up the game and can’t wait to discover landmarks like “The Screamer” (“The Cyclone” in real-life). Of course, I can’t wait to find myself.
