Tyler Dixon

Background

Tyler Dixon, known in the tabloids as "Ty-Di", was born around 1983 in Dukes, Liberty City. He made his name as a backup dancer and as the partner of socialite Cloe Parker. His record includes drug possession and assault. In 2008 the gossip press followed his prenup fight with Cloe. They married and later divorced, and by 2013 he lives on Picture Perfect Drive in the Vinewood Hills and is moving into reality TV and acting. He drives a red Comet and is voiced by John Palladino.

Events of Grand Theft Auto V

Tyler has a star on the Vinewood Walk of Fame. In the Strangers and Freaks mission Vinewood Souvenirs - Tyler, Nigel and Mrs. Thornhill send Trevor Philips to his mansion to steal his outfit. Trevor finds him busy with a new acquaintance named Cathi. The player can sneak off with the clothes unseen, kill Tyler or simply run. If Tyler catches Trevor, he asks whether Cloe sent him. If he survives, he later posts about the burglary on Bleeter and treats it almost as a compliment.

Role in GTA Online

In After Hours he is one of the celebrities the player can bring to their Nightclub. On the ride over, he and his Australian assistant talk about his reality-show fame, a romcom role he wants and his memoir, which his mother has threatened to sue over.
