Roger Clark, the voice actor behind Arthur Morgan in Red Dead Redemption 2, has addressed the situation with Florida Joker threatening to sue Rockstar Games for allegedly using his likeness in the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer, suggesting he use the extra publicity instead of taking legal action.
For those who don’t know, Florida Joker — real name Lawrence Sullivan — claimed that Rockstar owes him up to two million dollars for the alleged use of his likeness in last week’s debut trailer for the highly anticipated crime epic. There is a character that appears in the trailer that looks similar to Sullivan, who said he wants to “talk” to Rockstar for the use of his likeness.
“Florida Joker ain’t having that. Y’all took my likeness, you took my life.”
Clark then posted a video to TikTok addressing Sullivan’s comments:
You don’t need to talk to them. They’re not going to talk to you. They’ve had people like you trying to sue them for decades, they are lawyered up, man. They know exactly what they can and can’t get away with. If I were you, I would use the notoriety that they just threw your way to my advantage. Capitalise on it somehow. You ain’t getting a job in Home Depot with that face.
Clark previously commented he believes Red Dead Redemption 3 will be made at some point by Rockstar Games. In the meantime, GTA 6 is obviously the main focus of the developer right now, with the game targeting a 2025 release on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
