Which grand theft auto characters have appeared in films?
Quick Answer
Only the characters from the 1977 film Grand Theft Auto are known to have appeared in a film – the cast includes Ron Howard and Rance Howard.
Explanation
The 1977 American road action comedy Grand Theft Auto, directed by and starring Ron Howard, is the sole film that bears the title of the crime Grand Theft Auto. In this movie, Ron Howard plays one of the principal roles, while his real‑life father, Rance Howard, co‑stars. No other characters from the Grand Theft Auto video game series have been documented as appearing in any film. Therefore, the only confirmed Grand Theft Auto characters that have appeared on screen in a movie are those from this 1977 film. Any claim that video game characters have crossed over into cinema lacks verifiable evidence.
