This week on Toon’d In!, Jim Cummings welcomes the rugged, heartfelt, and unmistakably captivating Roger Clark! Best known as the voice and performance capture artist behind Arthur Morgan in Rockstar Games’ epic Red Dead Redemption 2, Roger brings a rich blend of stagecraft, storytelling, and frontier grit to the booth—and now, to the podcast mic.
In this thoughtful and wide-ranging episode, Roger shares the journey that led him from classical theater to becoming the voice of one of gaming’s most iconic outlaws. He opens up about the emotional depth and physical demands of bringing Arthur to life, the years-long process behind Red Dead’s cinematic storytelling, and how stepping into cowboy boots changed his life forever.
Jim and Roger dive deep into the craft of performance capture, the magic of immersive storytelling, and the quiet power of characters who speak with more than just their words. Along the way, they swap tales from the booth, reflect on the evolving world of video game acting, and even wrangle a few laughs from the wild west of voiceover work.
