Sometimes a video game is not just fiction but an emotion and people feel what the character is feeling. When the actors bring these characters to life they also need to get emotionally invested and live these experiences in a way.
Dutch Van Der Linde actor Benjamin Byron Davis from Red Dead Redemption 2 has revealed that it was hard for him to get through the filming of the game’s final scene without tearing up and experiencing it over and over again.
In an interview with Davis, he explained what it was like filming the climactic scene of the video game and said “When Arthur is on the cliff with Micah and I step on his hand, there was a raked stage – I guess you’d call it – that I had to walk up in a way, and Pete [Blomquist], he didn’t quite die in front of me,”
“So he’s wheezing and coughing. Peter Blomquist is screaming at me as Micah to come with him – and Dutch at the moment is realizing his failure,” he added
“And I turned up, I turned my back on both of them and I walked up this rake and I stood there as this scene continued to play out without me and I just stood there and I just cried my eyes out for three or four takes,” he concluded.
Well, we feel the same and just thinking about this scene again makes us feel emotional and we surely deserve Red Dead 3.
