out there that's for sure you guys been out to mount Rush cool we did the TR yesterday anybody else say the 1880 a great time great I can't believe we got robbed it was so weird cuz they kept talking about the lock box before it happened they kept mentioning why you keep mentioning the lock box and then lo and behold oh my God they got robed for for those of you it's your first time coming out to any of the red de conventions how's your experience been have you guys been interacting with the fans a lot it's been a it's been a good time it's been fantastic yeah it's it's like nothing I've ever experienced you know to be face to face with the fans is like the kindness and generosity and then this crew has just been incredible it's it's really heartwarming that's right so we're so so glad you were here when uh I mean this game's been for a while when was the moment that you realized that this was going to be something like this this big what was the what was the first moment for you where you realized when I saw yeah when the game paid a billion dollars in the first weekend that's what [Applause] I I don't want a m no no no hey by the way it's abandon Maya's birthday so do [Music] that [Applause] may my name is Mia oh for Mia hey should we sing happy birthday before we move [Applause] on happy birthday to you happy birthday dear [Applause] he's got some gifts for us too got some stew packets that we're going to be picking up later maybe we got St coming on so this was uh it was a huge of effort this te has over dialog I don't half a million one of the biggest most incredible Feats of both physical and vocal acting ever was there like uh any any major uh mishaps physically did anybody fall off a TR lad or any with any anything like that that happen for you guys behind theen thr to some damn alligators no no other injuries besides losing your head to to the Gators my first day and there was a scene where Sean gets the sh kicked out of him as you're about to rescue him yeah and um they had like a nice little pad that wrestlers kind of use I suppose or boxers used I had them against my chest as they were kicking and I was given a back I'm like come on your mother kicks your mother kicks harder than that your come on give it to me baby what come on I thought the scene was over and I put the [ __ ] thing away and I got a boot right in the chest that was my first day on the job and I kind of show up after that even enough surprisingly lucky there weren't many injuries you know Rockstar D to us for a fiveyear project surprisingly few injuries pretty good I think some of the biggest um I guess issues were probably in the bathroom more than anything every time we went to the bathroom we would have to do what was called a rerub so our map suits would still be able to be read by we always knew how regular everyone was getting the horses in and out of the ram suits was a real Joy one dog we had one of our wonderful animators fell named Jason and his dog is K remember that dog he would wag his tail so hard that sometimes the balls would fly over he he uh I I just wanted to to say thank you to the ladies here in the cast I think out of any of the video games that I have played in the 20 30 years I've been playing this is one of the strongest female cast I mean you guys have a deep bench I mean every single one of you has [Applause] been as the father of little girl privilege to be able to see strong women in media so thank you for that Pi up the M because that to me has been really the biggest well the twofold privilege one meeting and working with these actresses I mean every scene that I got to do with Penny O'Brien over here was just fire Mia and I developed this like just real deep friendship with our work together Sam and I always found exactly the right balance Joe and I had all that just like power fun because she would always just give it to me and then being in a room with Alex McKenna is like I mean she just brings it every single time and then we have Sophia who I got to work with some and just incredible beautiful actress and so what we got to do there as fully fledged members of a gang not feeling hypersexualized not feeling like we were pushed off to a corner being women getting to be members of this powerful gang and we all had real value um was such a privilege but beyond that the women that I have met amongst you that is incredible you guys come out and you you explain what this game has meant to you you play it when your children are asleep you play it with your friends you bring your whole self to it and it's really not what I was expecting when I was in my 40s and got cast in a video game I wasn't expecting all of these [Applause] women I know that uh when it comes to bringing those characters to life I know it's it's not really acting until you get to react with another person were were those um were there any specific emotionally impactful moments that you remember that you think about often maybe maybe that you would go back and relive again yes I mean and speaking of of uh amazing women here like working with with Kylie I remember having a moment as a pretty young actor at the time just s like not really knowing what I was getting into had never worked in a video video game before or had any lessons and how to act in a video game and it was probably like the second or third time that I came on and working against her I think we were just having like a basic ass conversation and I was like oh I got to level up cuz she's killing it and we're just talking about getting to the camp or whatever and I was like man I am impressed and that kind of carried on through every interaction I mean working opposite Ben obviously biger like what a [Music] hunk H news I said but uh similarly I remember it was actually the first day I think we worked together and I as I said no experience in the Video Game World didn't even really know what I was getting myself into I was kind of standing on the stage doing this because I that's what I thought we were supposed to do and Ben comes over to me he goes you know you know you can just like stand there and from there I was like I'll be taking I'll be taking his advice from here on the secret the acting just stand there perfect um so yeah just some of [Applause] [Music] that I know that uh you you obviously do this event and millions of others you've had a chance to interact with the fans have there been any like uh surprising interactions that You' heard from the community takes on your characters that you never really thought about um there been anything that kind of gave you pause about your performance or your place in the games and all I sorry I don't know there was some guy I I don't even know if he's here but he had a Leopold Strauss Instagram account for a year and every day he would post like leop TR like Christmas or Le it was like it was I would get it every day I think this is like the coolest thing but uh I think after about a year he ran out of ideas so who are we taking money from today that's that's his Instagram live uh we've got uh a lot of the big antagonists in the house we've got Angela Bronte [Applause] obviously Mr Michael Milton obviously big black guys but the True Villain as we can all see they the man who actually killed AR Mor I going be a hard time on that one how I'm sorry uh so I with all the people I've talked to in film and television a lot of people kind of AB scun from the sets or the roll with a little piece of memorabilia is anybody what do you guys have from uh Red Dead that you kind of keep on a shelf in the house I got my boots got boots they were the the same boots I wore every day they were uh lariats and they still have their little moat balls on them and the funny thing was is like when we were wrapping it coming close to an end we didn't know exactly which day was going to be the end but like a couple of weeks beforehand I I spoke to our wonderful director Rob and I said is there any way I can keep these boots and he's like oh I I'll look into that yeah no worries but I have to confess I didn't ask I didn't wait for permission I just kind of took them brought them home cuz nobody else was wearing them they were mine you know and then like a week or two later Rod calls me up and he says Raj I'm so sorry we can't find those boots anywhere I was like oh my God know okay it's okay never mind that was a dirty little thief I didn't take any I didn't steal anything um but I but not like Roger um but I do have I think a lot of people have it but the outlaw blanket I really really like it we I use it for picnics I that's it store get an outlaw blanket people not get that when when the game launched Rockstar generously sent us all this incredible care package with all of this amazing memorabilia and collectibles and and red dead stuff and we each got a game and it was pretty crazy and that was the blanket was in there very cool uh I had the privilege of getting to spend a little time with you guys and you've all been so uplifting and helpful to one another and kind can is there uh can you explain maybe the role of mentorship and uh that kind of thing that it's in your career is there anybody who has kind of like spurred you on that's not here that's kind of that you would say it's responsible for where your there yeah short answer is just uh my um Drama teacher uh in fifth grade um that was the person um who took me under his wing and that I think without uh his guidance uh for the next few years um I wouldn't have been maybe as interested uh in uing uh this kind of a of an [Music] ordeal so shout out to my old teacher Tom HG also curses on you there were a lot of people I mean I think this is the biggest reunion we've ever had but I mean what you see up here is really just a piece of the pie it was literally took a village there were thousands of amazing animators Engineers writers directors and they they all are are just as if not a more important part uh to bring this thing to you so yeah there was a lot of great people that we worked with right I would also add um I think uh for me anyway I know for a lot of people up here too our families and the families at home like they're the ones who were at home when we come home and have leave our characters at the door and you know this job there's a lot of emotion to it so you know you're coming home with all sorts of feelings so big shout out to our our wives and our husbands and our families and all people who support us that's the reason that we get to do this [Music] too Maya right oh oh yeah Maya no I I did this game I don't know how many years I was working on it for like a year and I didn't know what was until Stephen told me to sit down and he played a YouTube video of uh red dead so I want to thank you for showing me what the hell I was in it really made a difference I swear to God it made a difference like I don't think I was doing what I was supposed to be doing watch what I was in so give it up for stepen he knows what he's doing he [Music] [Applause] knows I know a lot of I I know a lot of you guys have been uh extremely busy outside of here what are what are some passion projects that this game is giving you the freedom to pursue what what are you guys working on that we can support you in here Roger and I just did a film together and uh it is just hitting the festival circuit it's a short film called Damn handy it's a horror short and I got to say this guy this guy brings it so um I don't tell him he one of the producers you tell oh well it's going to be out on I once it's as Kylie said once the festival circuit is done we're going to have it out on YouTube and whatnot we hope you enjoy it Kylie kills it as well she's she's insane but insanely good we hope you enjoy it I yeah if it comes to a festival nearby you you're more than welcome but if you wait to hang around a while it'll come out on YouTube but too I hope we hope you enjoy [Applause] it uh there's also another bearing uh a couple years ago uh I started and produced a film that was uh made in Ireland a lot of you fans some of you out there were Kickstarter backers of it uh called Lulu in the electric dream Boo and as of uh middle of March we were signed to a sales agent uh also in this film is Rob weol uh he has a surprise Cameo that's most hysterical thing it's my favorite part of the entire film uh so we're still technically in the festival circuit uh we won uh best International Film back in December at the uh La Punk Film Fest and uh and right now we're just uh we're we're waiting to hear uh we got offers out so it's going to end up somewhere uh so just hang tight if you follow me on Instagram I'll let you know but uh for those of you out there who were the start Packers your rewards are coming and thank you thank you thank you and I I have uh August 9th Borderlands is [Applause] coming I hope you will all come support uh it's a different kind of a video game story but it's a hell of an ensemble and I think you'll have a lot of fun it's it's a hell of a movie [Applause] uh we got uh John pitock in the house of play to agent mton this is uh first time being out here at the convention and I think he should leave I uh the game obviously explores a lot of uh a lot of topics and things about morality uh so is is Milton a good guy or a bad guy you tell me I kept asking the directly that he would not give me an answer either way he said he doing his job because I couldn't tell from the dialogue you know he he was obviously seriously committed to uh reigning these guys in but not necessarily with a lot of malice some scenes have more malice than others so and I think you know as I've talked to a bunch of folks today that's one of the things people like about the game you know the gang isn't all good or all bad and and Milton isn't all good or all that so I think that's actually a better way to look at it it's more [Applause] fun we have uh the Red Dead Godfather in the house Mr uh Bob Bo who is [Applause] our our very own red har how do it feel being a part of this gigantic thing that started how many 20 years ago here's how does it feel wow I feel like someone's like taking me off the top shelf blew some air on me got the dust off of me and uh shut me under some lights uh it was fantastic I mean when Ken called me last year I thought it was a prank so I never returned his call and and then he left another message I was like this guy's for real so I called him up I was like what what do you want from me he's like dude you're the OG you got to come I'm like nobody's ever called me before are you serious he goes yeah I'll send you an airline ticket dude you got to come he was so enthusiastic I was like are you pranking me did my mom put this put you up so anyway long story short uh he was for real he put together a great event in Tombstone and I was so honored because it was a long time ago and nobody really had ever called and so it was it was nice to be appreciated as the OG so uh and and it's and it's great to come back thank you and thank you for your your love enic um because I just kind of thought it was just floated away in The Ether and it's really nice to hear that uh it's had an impact on several of you and that you like that it might be old and clunky but you still respect it and enjoy it so thank [Music] we got Alber Mason in the house as a as a fellow photographer I just want to say thank you for your contributions to Wildlife photography uh can you tell us a little bit about your time working with uh with roner yeah well that's that's a great question because uh this addresses a question you asked earlier about Inspirations and you know uh mentors so I came in about a year or so into the project as a side mission that's why I'm sitting all the way on the side um and uh Roger said the tone I mean he had he' been there a minute he you know sort of showed me the ropes I had done GTA 5 but they didn't tell me it was GTA 5 and then I found out I was in GTA 5 when I was watching my friends play GTA 5 but this was this was like a big leap in in the technology of it and so Roger helped me get my SE legs I remember those boots a year in they did not not smell good I can tell you that but his spirit and his sort of you know he he was the patriarch of this thing as far as I could tell and uh the reason our relationship is even successful and why the fans have have taken on this this uh sort of a side story that there's a beath mountain romance between the reason the reason you guys were able to imagine that was because of what a kind loving soul and what a supportive awesome guy Roger Clark is so I just want to I don't know the rest people have that experience but you know he was the one that really I think sets the tone for the entire experience and you know getting back to who's good who's bad like what I love about this game and is that you you are in control of the game you decide who's good and who's bad and how how it's going to go and that can change day to day just like the rest of us do and uh I'm just eternally grateful to be here to be a part of this gang even on on the side and you know it's just awesome I love all you guys I love all yeah uh our imitates life tell about the experience from last night at the bar he doesn't rememberer with the dog that kind of experience he remembers you remember now when I was taking a picture of the or oh okay what red Saloon 10 Yes
