Gerald "Slink" Johnson (born February 1, 1973),[1] also known by his stage name Slink Capone, is an American actor. He starred in the sitcom Black Jesus and portrayed Lamar Davis in the 2013 video game Grand Theft Auto V.[2][3]
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]
