'Red Dead Redemption 2' Star Roger Clark is coming to Lithuania

  • 2024-10-08

Comic Con Baltics, taking place in Vilnius from May 23 to 25, 2025, will welcome a special guest—Roger Clark, the actor who voiced the iconic Arthur Morgan in the legendary video game "Red Dead Redemption 2." This is a unique opportunity for gaming enthusiasts and pop culture fans to meet the actor whose work elevated the narrative experience of gaming, adding realism and authenticity to the character. Clark's talent for conveying subtle emotions and moral conflicts made Arthur Morgan one of the most memorable characters in video game history.

A Second Attempt to Visit

Roger Clark's visit to Vilnius was initially planned for 2022, but the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and health issues prevented him from appearing in Lithuania. In his place, Robert Allen Wiethoff, who voiced the equally beloved character John Marston from the "Red Dead Redemption" series, stepped in that year.

"We are thrilled to confirm Roger Clark's arrival finally. It has been worth the wait, and we have special meetings, discussions, and autograph sessions. Visitors will hear intriguing stories about the making of 'Red Dead Redemption 2,' and insights into Clark's career journey and plans!" said event organizer Šarūnas Tamulis.

Arthur Morgan—A Controversial Hero

Roger Clark gained international recognition with the 2018 release of Red Dead Redemption 2, one of the most acclaimed video games in history, with over 65 million copies sold. Clark brought the character of Arthur Morgan to life—a complex, emotional member of Dutch van der Linde's gang who constantly grapples with moral choices while balancing loyalty to the gang with his values. Arthur's story is about survival and striving to be a better person, which endeared him to players worldwide.

Clark breathed life into this legendary character through his voice and motion capture. His exceptional talent in bringing Arthur to life earned him numerous awards, including the Best Performance title at The Game Awards.
