Big Bear

Barry Thorne[1], also known as Big Bear, is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a minor character in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Thorne was voiced by Kurt Alexander, who is credited as Big Boy.[1]

Barry Thorne is a member of the Grove Street Families and is one of the longest serving members of the gang. Between 1987 and 1992 he had began to use drugs[2], likely supplied by B-Dup. Eventually, and by the time of the GTA San Andreas storyline, Bear had become the man servant of B-Dup and does various chores, including cleaning the toilet.[3] Bear had lost much respect and had turned on the Grove Street Families in order to get more drugs.[4] However, Bear eventually confronts B-Dup and decides to stop taking drugs.[5] Sweet Johnson helps Bear with taking him to drug rehab.[6]

In a deleted cut scene from the mission Beat Down on B-Dup, Carl Johnson would take Bear to rehab with Bear explaining how he got into drugs.[2] This would set up a mission where Carl would search for Big Smoke and would need to find an informant. Bear tells Carl and Sweet about a Russian Mafia gang member who would inform Carl of Smoke's whereabouts[7], which would set up the mission End of the Line.

Trivia

In the Games Files, in addition to the Big Bear model seen in the game, there is another model of big bear in the same clothes, but much fatter. It is unknown why this model is in the games files as it is never used in the game.
