ę¾³ę“²å¹øčæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„čÆ¢:Red Dead Redemption 2 actor Roger Clark has suggested that the 'GTA 6 Joker' "use ź©²the notoriety" rather than seek money from Rockstar.
In the wake of the ę¾³ę“²å¹øčæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„čÆ¢:GTA 6 trailer reveal, the Florida Joker, whose real name is Lawrence Sullivan, took to social media to ę¾³ę“²å¹øčæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„čÆ¢:demand $2 million from Rockstar after the developer, he claims, used his likeness for an in-game character. Now, Red Dead Redemption'sļ·½ 2 Roger Clark, who voices Arthur Morgan, has posted a response to the individual's lofty demands.
"GTA, we gotta talk," the Florida Joker says in his video, to which Clark replies in his own video shared on TikTok; "No, you don't; you don't need to talk to theļ·½m. They're not going to talk to you." He adds, "They've had people like you trying to sue them for decades. They are lawyered up, man. They know exactly what they can and cannot get away with."

Clark ends his message with some advice for Sullivan, suggesting that he use the situation to his advantage instead. "If I were you, I would use the notoriety they just šthrew your way to my advantage and capitalize on it somehow. You ain't getting a job at Home Depot with that face."
Rockstar found itself in a similar situation when, after GTA 5 launched, actor ę¾³ę“²å¹øčæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„čÆ¢:Lindsey Lohan tried to sue the develāoper, claiming it had used her likeness. ę¾³ę“²å¹øčæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„čÆ¢:The case was thrown out after a New York Court ruled that the character in question was ą¹simply a "generic young woman." It remains to be seen whetš·her Sullivan will take legal action against Rockstar.
Recently, ę¾³ę“²å¹øčæ5å¼å„ā å·ē åå²ę„čÆ¢:Clark gave fans hope for more Wild West action, saying that he is "certain we will see RDR3 one day." The message was bittersā±weet, though, as he added that it's unlikely that we'll see his character again. "Don't count on Arthur's involvement," he said. "His story has been told, I feel."
Following the official reveal, these are the wildest GTA 6 trailer fan theories so far.
Originally from Ireland, I moved to the UK in 2014 to pursue a Games Journalism and PR degreą¼e at Staffordshire University. Following that, I've freelanced for GamesMaster, Games TM, Official PlayStation Magazine and, more recently, Play and GamesRadar+. My love of gaming sprang from successfully defeating that first Goomba in Super Mario Bros on the NES. These days, PlayStation is my jam. When not gaming or writing, I can usually be found scouring the internet for anything Tomb Raider related to add to my out of control memorabilia collection.
