Between the two main characters, Lucia seems to get the most time to shine in the first “Grand Theft Auto VI” trailer. Though Jason often accompanies her, she’s generally the one doing the talking, and the camera is focused on her as they go about their life of crime. While her relationship with Jason is undoubtedly a focal point of the narrative, at the end of the day, “GTA” games are crime stories. Thus, who better to play Lucia in a hypothetical “GTA VI” movie than someone with plenty of experience in the genre, like Stephanie Sigman?
Throughout her time in the entertainment world, Sigman has taken on numerous crime drama projects. Her first big break in Hollywood came via 2011’s “Miss Bala,” a drama about a hopeful pageant queen named Laura Guerrero (Sigman), who ends up stuck in the criminal underworld. On the television front, she has contributed to such shows as “American Crime,” “Narcos,” and “S.W.A.T.” In fact, in “S.W.A.T.,” her character, Jessica Cortez, engages in a relationship with Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson (Shemar Moore), having to find a delicate balance between their budding romance and their S.W.A.T. responsibilities — seemingly not unlike Lucia and Jason with their love and criminal exploits.
Surely, Sigman would thrive in a “GTA VI” adaptation, giving her a chance to call upon her past experiences in crime-related productions and tap into her romantic acting skills.
