Roger Clark addresses Red Dead fans' GTA 6 comparisons
Roger Clark, who voiced Arthur Morgan in Red Dead Redemption 2, has addressed fan comparisons between his character and Grand Theft Auto VI lead Jason.

Key Takeaways
- Clark spoke at FanX Salt Lake Comic & Pop Culture Convention alongside John Marston actor Rob Wiethoff.
- He told Collider comparisons are inevitable because Grand Theft Auto VI is Rockstar's next game, and he can see a facial resemblance.
- On deeper character links, he said it is hard to say until players get a go at the game.
- Asked about a cameo, Clark said he is not in GTA 6 "to my knowledge," then joked he would give that answer even if he were.
- Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for release on November 19, 2026.
Arthur Morgan has stayed on players' minds for years, so it is no shock that fans are hunting for traces of him in Rockstar's next leading man. Jason, one of the protagonists of Grand Theft Auto VI, has drawn trailer-era comparisons to Arthur, and some fans have even likened Jason and Lucia's dynamic to Arthur and Mary's—even with much of the new story still unseen. That buzz reached Clark at a Red Dead Redemption panel, where Collider's Maggie Lovitt asked how it feels to see fans searching for echoes of Arthur in Rockstar's next title.

What did Roger Clark say about the Red Dead and GTA 6 comparisons?
"Obviously there are going to be comparisons because it's Rockstar's next game," Clark said in the Collider exclusive. He acknowledged why some players have noticed a facial resemblance between the characters. As for whether Jason and Arthur share anything deeper, he added, "It's hard to say until we actually get a go at it."
Clark framed the chatter as a compliment to the Red Dead role he spent years bringing to life, without rushing to treat trailer glances as proof of a shared DNA. His tone was appreciative, but deliberately cautious about how much anyone can conclude from the footage released so far.
Is Roger Clark looking forward to Grand Theft Auto VI?
"We have very limited information, but the trailers look amazing," Clark said. He expects Rockstar to "knock it out of the park again," and made clear he is looking forward to playing the game himself. That mix of praise and patience matches where many fans sit: intrigued by what they have seen, still waiting for the full picture.
Will Roger Clark appear in GTA 6?
When asked whether either he or Wiethoff would appear in Grand Theft Auto VI, Clark said he is not in it "to my knowledge," then immediately joked that he would give the same answer even if he were. Collider described the reply as playful—neither a cameo announcement nor a hard denial—so fans hoping to spot a familiar voice will have to wait for the finished game. Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for release on November 19, 2026.
For now, Clark's take lines up with the player conversation: he understands why Red Dead fans see flashes of Arthur in Jason, but he wants to meet the new protagonist in-game before deciding what the comparison really means.
