President Zane is a character who appears on television in Grand Theft Auto IV, its episodes and Grand Theft Auto V.
He is voiced by Bill Lobley.
History[]
Background[]
Zane appears in the Republican Space Rangers science-fiction/action cartoon show. He is the new president of The United States of America after the Rangers were asleep for eight years. The Rangers' plan was to kill him, but it ends with Dick shooting the Commander in the groin instead. The attempted assassination scene is possibly a parody on the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Zane's wife wears the same style of clothes as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, JFK's wife. Additionally, the vehicle in which Kennedy was assassinated also did not have a roof.
Zane is keen on writing autobiographies, as it is stated a few times in the episode, but only the names of two books are mentioned - The American Dream and In Zaneiac: Sleepwalking Through Democracy, the last one is said to be #1 in the Intergalactic Best Seller's List. He is voiced by Bill Lobley in four appearances.
