Peter Fonda, star of the 1969 film 'Easy Rider', voiced the character 'The Truth' (a.k.a. The Old Man Hippie) in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The Truth is a cannabis-growing hippie who introduces CJ to the conspiracy storyline involving government agents and The Green Sabre.

The other Anderson variations (John, Smith, Neo) are fictional options not in the films.
