Yeah, I was definitely going through it with mom. Can you elaborate a bit on what was going on at that time, and how it affected your performance? You both wanted to live your life the way you wanted and wanted her to accept that. I also remember you were going through issues with your mom as Luis was going through similar mom issues in the game. Like, he told me, “There’s no way an English writer in London’s gonna know more about what a NYC Dominican’s gonna say than you.” Whew! Close call.Īs far as input, Rod gave me total freedom both on set and in the voiceover booth. Luckily I was cleared of any wrongdoing because little did I know, Rockstar had already chosen me to star in BOGT, and their concern was if I was gonna be around for it. I was actually stuck in central booking! Everything was cool until the guys at Rockstar happened to notice my arrest was online. Luis was totally me, minus the killing and drug dealing of course! Although, a funny story you might remember: one day I missed a shoot day and had my brother call in for me saying I was stuck in Miami. Did you have input in creating the character? Out of all the actors who starred in a GTA game, I think your life was closest to your actual character. Mario D’Leon stars as Luis Lopez in Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony. As I’m doing this interview right now, I just got a tweet from a new follower thanking me for doing an “awesome job on BOGT” and letting me know he “still plays it.” Love it! Whether it’s Facebook or Twitter, BOGT (Ballad of Gay Tony) fans from all over the world always show me love. Everyday I’m reminded how awesome it is to be part of the GTA family. Needless to say, I was psyched! And I still am. How does it feel to be part of the exclusive club of Grand Theft Auto lead characters? Mario D’Leon: When did I find out I was the guy? I literally found out on the set, when Rod (the motion capture director) told me, “Dude… you’re the star of the game!” My GTA experience will always be one of my most cherished career achievements. When did you first find out you were going to star in a Grand Theft Auto game? JZ: What’s up Mario? You first entered GTA world as a stuntman doing motion capture work on San Andreas, then you got a small role as Luis Lopez in GTA4, then Luis became the main character in Ballad of Gay Tony. Whether guarding the velvet rope in real or virtual life, Mario is simply the man. Mario D’Leon is his name and he starred as hitman bouncer Luis Lopez in Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony. He’s a huge dude resembling Kratos from God of War, without the body paint. The Buried Sessions of Skylar Grey was released on January 17.IIf you’ve been to NYC clubs XVI, Aspen, or Volstead, you’ve seen him standing outside the door.

While we wait for her debut album Invinsible, due out later this year, The Buried Sessions is the perfect reminder of Grey’s incredible talent as a songwriter.Īnd if you thought her hooks were haunting, just wait until you hear the full versions: They’ll never, ever leave your head. As she told Rap-Up back in December: “I wrote this song about my grandfather who passed away before I had a chance to say goodbye,” she said. While each track is incredible in its own right, my personal favorite is “Words,” a song that Grey originally penned in memory of her grandfather. The brooding singer-songwriter, who released her debut single “Invisible” back in June last year, has just unleashed The Buried Sessions of Skylar Grey on January 17, a 3-track EP complete with the original versions/demos behind the hooks that became worldwide smashes. You’ve already heard the devastating hooks all over radio–on Lupe Fiasco‘s “Words I Never Said,” Diddy – Dirty Money‘s “Coming Home,” Eminem and Rihanna‘s “Love The Way You Lie.” But now, singer-songwriter Skylar Grey is bringing her original creations back to life.
