Concept art on the [[Rockstar North|Rockstar North's]] website shows that the working name for Ricardo Diaz was "Fernando Diaz". The name Ricardo may be a reference to Ricardo Tubs, a major character from the show ''Miami Vice''. The character Tony Montana, from the 1983 film ''Scarface'', may also be an influence of Ricardo Diaz' character. Diaz' mansion is similar to Montana's, whilst Diaz wears the exact same clothes as Montana during the famous chainsaw torture scene from Scarface. | Concept art on the [[Rockstar North|Rockstar North's]] website shows that the working name for Ricardo Diaz was "Fernando Diaz".
