An interview with Arthur Morgan! Actor Roger Clark on Red Dead 2, Loss & the Role of a Lifetime
Meet the actor behind one of the world's best-loved characters.
This week, I’m joined by Roger Clark, the actor behind Arthur Morgan in Red Dead Redemption 2, the third best-selling video game of all time.
To put it into perspective - Red Dead 2 made almost as much money in its first THREE days on sale ($725 million) as the original Deadpool movie grossed in its entire worldwide cinema run ($783 million).

We talk about Roger’s life and career. The years of struggle before his secret audition with Rockstar, losing his mum at 15, creating Arthur over five years, performance capture, and why the character still means so much to people nearly eight years later.
This one is personal, too. My last ever time with my brother Jordan was playing Red Dead 2 online, just 36 hours before he took his own life.
Afterwards, I disappeared back into that world. There were days and weeks where I was more Arthur Morgan than myself.
