RDR2 Actor Confirms GTA 6 Role Ahead of Launch

An actor from Red Dead Redemption 2 has revealed that he will appear in the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6, just months before its release. Jim Santagaleo, known for playing Simon Pearson in Rockstar's cowboy epic, confirmed his involvement during a TikTok livestream.

Santagaleo's Confession

During a livestream with around 150 viewers, Santagaleo stated, "I've done some cool stuff in GTA 6 but small." The clip quickly spread to Reddit, where fans expressed excitement. One comment read, "We need his stew in GTA 6," referencing a memorable in-game item from Red Dead Redemption 2. Another added, "I hope Pearson has a cookbook cameo, like how Jack Marston had his book cameo in GTA V."

Rockstar's Recurring Actors

Rockstar Games has a history of reusing voice actors across its titles. For example, Benjamin Byron Davis, who voiced Dutch van der Linde in Red Dead Redemption 2, also appeared in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas as an oil rig worker. Santagaleo's role in GTA 6 remains unconfirmed, but his casual mention suggests it is a minor part.
