I showed the project to **Young Maylay,** and his reaction was impressive. **You can check out my full interview with Young Maylay in the player below:** **Check it out on YouTube:** [CJ BROKE THE SILENCE! Exclusive Interview with Young Maylay – 22 Years After GTA Andreas!](https://youtu.be/4yQs9Ora4bo) As soon as I told him about **171**, **Maylay**was genuinely surprised. **"Oh, what? That’s so crazy, man!"** What impressed him most wasn’t just the game itself, but the fact that it’s being produced by a 100% Brazilian team.

Then they’ll make sure Brazil is represented correctly, man.”** He made a point of sending a shout-out to the developers: **“Hey, congrats on that, man! Congrats, Brazil!”** O artigo continua após as sugestões[GTA 6: How many hours will Grand Theft Auto VI’s story mode campaign last?](https://en.viciados.net/gta-6-how-many-hours-will-grand-theft-auto-vis-story-mode-campaign-last/) [GTA 6 | Discover all the official announcements from Rockstar Games for Grand Theft Auto VI](https://en.viciados.net/gta-6-discover-all-the-official-announcements-from-rockstar-games-for-grand-theft-auto-vi/) [GTA San Andreas | Young Maylay reveals that he lived through the real Los Angeles riots in 1992](https://en.viciados.net/gta-san-andreas-young-maylay-reveals-that-he-lived-through-the-real-los-angeles-riots-in-1992/) ## Would Young Maylay accept a role in 171? I couldn’t pass up the opportunity and cornered the man: **“What if the folks at 171 invited you to participate?**” His answer was honest and caught me off guard. **Maylay**has always said he didn’t intend to make other games after the monumental impact of **San Andreas**. **“You know what? You’ve put me in a tough spot now!”** He explained that he’s very picky because he feels nothing will ever match what he experienced at **Rockstar**. If you dreamed of seeing CJ walking the streets of 171, Maylay gave you a reality check, but for a noble reason: respect for the legacy. He was categorical: **“Like, if someone from Brazil reached out to me and said, ‘Hey Maylay, would you be CJ in this game?’ No, I can’t do that.”** But hold on, it’s not all “no”! **Maylay**left the door open, which got me really excited. He’s up for it, as long as it’s something new. > **"But if they said, 'Hey, would you play this guy here, and he’s some kind of L.A. big shot?' Oh, for sure, let’s do it!"** **Check this out too:**[Exclusive: Interview with Young Maylay, the actor who played Carl Johnson (CJ) in GTA San Andreas](https://viciados.net/entrevista-young-maylay-carl-johnson-cj-gta-san-andreas/) Do you like the **Viciados Portal**?
