Who Is Roger Clark?
Roger Clark (born 1978) is an Irish actor from Ballinteer, County Dublin. After training in classical theatre, he transitioned to voice and motion-capture work, earning critical acclaim—and a BAFTA nomination—for his performance as Arthur Morgan in Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018). Clark’s portrayal of the conflicted outlaw helped the game win multiple Game of the Year awards. Beyond gaming, he’s appeared on stage with Ireland’s Origin Theatre and lent his voice to the title character Clint in the indie video game Ultra Mega Cats. He frequently engages with literary and gaming communities, reading James Joyce’s Ulysses at Bloomsday events and hosting podcast interviews about his craft.
Mississippi Comic Con Details
Mississippi Comic Con takes over the Mississippi Trade Mart and Coliseum beginning Friday, May 10, through Sunday, May 12. Organizers promise panels on gaming development, cosplay workshops, and a wide selection of exhibitors. Clark joins a lineup that includes British actor Tim Downie, known for roles in The Crown and the Disney+ series Loki, who appears exclusively on Friday, May 10, and Saturday, May 11. Gamers may also spot Rob Wiethoff, voice of John Marston in Red Dead Redemption 2, sharing anecdotes about working with Clark.
Tickets range from single-day passes to VIP packages that include priority seating for Q&As and photo ops. Fan-favorite panels are scheduled throughout each day; Clark’s Q&A session is set for Saturday afternoon in Panel Room B. Attendees can secure autographs and snapshots at the celebrity signing area, located adjacent to the main exhibit hall.
Fan Events And Past Appearances
Clark has become a convention circuit regular since Red Dead 2’s release. Earlier this year he appeared at Phoenix Fan Fusion alongside Maggie Robertson and Noshir Dalal, delighting fans with live readings and behind-the-scenes stories. In March, he hosted the “Irish Stew” Bloomsday celebration at New York’s Origin Theatre, performing Joyce’s prose to a sold-out crowd. Online, Clark’s February Instagram announcement highlighted his latest voice-over work in Ultra Mega Cats, where he voices Clint the cat bounty hunter. His posts routinely rack up thousands of likes from the gaming community.
At Mississippi Comic Con, Clark will discuss his transition from stage actor to video-game star, field questions on motion-capture techniques, and preview any future projects. He’s also expected to touch on the upcoming Red Dead online expansions, as speculated by fans and industry trackers.
Whether you’re a die-hard Red Dead fan or eager to hear behind-the-scenes stories from a BAFTA-nominated performance, Clark’s appearance promises plenty of insider insights. For those seeking photo ops or autograph slots, early arrival is recommended once doors open each morning.
As Mississippi Comic Con ramps up its schedule, all eyes are on Clark and his fellow guests. Fans in Jackson should prepare their questions—and their selfie sticks—to make the most of this weekend’s pop-culture celebration.
