An interview with Arthur Morgan! Actor Roger Clark on Red Dead 2, Loss & the Role of a Lifetime

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.

We talk about his 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.

Interviews that might just change your life.

And if not…? You’ll probably enjoy them anyway.

After my younger brother Jordan took his own life, I sold the PR agency I’d spent over a decade building and decided to go all-in on creating something meaningful.
