CJ in GTA San Andreas – Real Life, Age, Voice Actor, & Death
Carl Johnson mostly known as CJ is one of the protagonists in GTA San Andreas and is a street gangster, seen committing a number of crimes in the game. Carl has a very good social life along with a full bank account. Although the game was released almost 2 decades back, no reduction in its popularity has been witnessed and all of this may be attributed to the strong character of the protagonist.

Also, another essential aspect to take into account is that Carl is a very kind character in the game unlike the usual gangster image that we picture in our mind.

Both Trevor and Carl may be considered quite opposite of each other particularly because of the fact that the latter is pretty aggressive and harsh.
