Red Dead Redemption 2 Actor Confirms He Has a Role in GTA 6

Rockstar Games fans may have gotten another small clue about the cast of Grand Theft Auto 6. Jim Santangeli, the actor who played Simon Pearson in Red Dead Redemption 2, recently confirmed during a TikTok livestream that he has worked on GTA 6. When fans asked if he was involved in Rockstar's upcoming game, Santangeli responded that he had done a "small bit" for the project. He did not reveal which character he plays or how large the role is, but the brief confirmation was enough to spark discussion among GTA fans online. Santangeli is best known to Rockstar players as Pearson, the camp cook and butcher in Red Dead Redemption 2. His character became a fan favorite thanks to his humor, stories, and memorable interactions with the Van der Linde gang. While his role in GTA 6 appears to be minor, Rockstar often works with actors across multiple projects, so the news does not come as a huge surprise. Fans are now speculating about where Santangeli might appear when players finally return to Vice City next year. Red Dead Redemption 2 Actor Confirms He Has a Role in GTA 6
