Lance Vance was voiced by Miami Vice star Philip Michael Thomas, as another one of Vice City's many references to Miami Vice. Also, both Vance and Thomas's character in Miami Vice, Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs, share the same quest of exacting revenge for the murders of their brothers at the hands of drug dealers. | Lance Vance was voiced by Miami Vice star Philip Michael Thomas, as another one of Vice City's many references to Miami Vice.

[[Kent Paul]] is a Cockney English youth who works in the music business but claims to be a criminal mastermind. "Kent Paul" is probably an assumed name; his real name is unknown, although an early voice clip featured him calling himself "Paul from Kent." He also goes by "KP", "Paulo" and "Kent". He tapped the local biker gang to provide security for the band he represents, but had a falling-out with Big Mitch Baker and was stripped and thrown out of their bar. | [[Kent Paul]] is a Cockney English youth who works in the music business but claims to be a criminal mastermind.

Paul is a notorious kiss-up to all of Vice City's elite, and as such is very good "with rumors." He has information on most of the major crime figures in the city, and seems to have contacts in certain SWAT divisions. He is also, however, a pathological liar and a suspected alcoholic. Kent serves as a manager to the metal band Love Fist and is usually found at the local Malibu nightclub. | Paul is a notorious kiss-up to all of Vice City's elite, and as such is very good "with rumors."

In a drunken phone call at the end of the game, Paul insinuates he is seen as a disgrace back in England. Paul claimed to have moved to the United States in 1982 at the age of 17, which would suggest he was born in 1965. | In a drunken phone call at the end of the game, Paul insinuates he is seen as a disgrace back in England.

*Introduced in: "The Party" (Jezz Torrent only), "Love Juice" (other band members). However, Jezz Torrent may be heard in an interview on the K-Chat radio station before the mission, and two Love Fist songs may be heard on the [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City soundtrack#V-Rock|V-Rock]] radio station. | *Introduced in: "The Party" (Jezz Torrent only), "Love Juice" (other band members).

[[Steve Scott]] is a porn film director at Interglobal Films. He has an uncanny resemblance to Steven Spielberg. [[Tommy Vercetti]] buys his studio and brings him stars, while funding a new film starring Candy Suxxx (who is also implied to have had sex with Steve in his trailer). Steve is obsessed with making a movie about a giant shark; a movie poster for the [[Candy Suxxx]] movie [[Bite]] appears later in the game and is clearly a homage to Steven Spielberg's film Jaws. Another poster depicts another Steve Scott film starring Candy Suxxx called [[Closer Encounters]], an obvious reference to the Steven Spielberg film Close Encounters of the Third Kind. The last name could also be a reference to yet another director, Ridley Scott, director of 80's classic Blade Runner whilst the first name is probably that of Steven Spielberg. | [[Steve Scott]] is a porn film director at Interglobal Films.

Although Phil claims to serve in various divisions of the Army, records show that Phil was repeatedly rejected for service because of drunkenness and an unsuitable temperament for combat. Phil is also a gun enthusiast, with memberships in various Second Amendment organizations and Vice City gun clubs. Phil is also known to be fighting against Mexican gun-running gangs. | Although Phil claims to serve in various divisions of the Army, records show that Phil was repeatedly rejected for service because of drunkenness and an unsuitable temperament for combat.
