I'm tearing up at the fact that he's living the life his character wanted. Its like everything fell into place just right for Rob and his family. I hope he continues to be blessed.
Alex Jordan Leviticus No you dipshit it was 2013. Do the math. They worked on it for 5 years and it was released in 2018. What’s 2018-5? Fucking troglodyte.
Damn it John, you could have went out the back with your family...crossed over and went deep into Mexico. Changed your name.... It's cool though I'll see you soon in RD2
James Gambill He would’ve been looking over his shoulder the rest of his life, not to mention the risk it would pose for his family should they become wanted. In the end he had come to realize his own fate, that despite all his efforts, he was still confined by all the things he and his associates, both inside and outside the law, had done. The fact that he was involved in it all meant that he would always be liable, regardless of what he did to appease his prosecutors. So, in a world where nothing is forgiven, he decided that there was only one way he could truly attain redemption.
@@nickcara97 that's true, just hated seeing John die after I spent so many hours playing as him but him facing death head on knowing he was going to die fit his character. And that ending left a impact after the story was over. Also John's son getting revenge for his father's death was satisfying and made the story feel complete.
Damn... when he choked up near the end talking about his family, made me tear up too. Love how someone with such a memorable and badass voice for an outlaw character can be such a tender hearted person. John Marston forever!
I’d bet he only came back for the prequel because of friendship, loyalty and nostalgia. I’d bet after RDR2 was done, he went right back to his wife and kids again. I like this man.
@Random Commenter I think I read somewhere that the game was recorded in New York. Also, its Rockstar, I am pretty sure he didnt need to crash somewhere for 5 years.
Usually im disappointed when i see the face of a favorite video game character, but this guy IS John Marston. Just an all around true and Real ass dude.
He probably signed some kind of contract that includes the voice acting for any future games with the character John Marston. Otherwise R* would be pretty fucked if they had to change the iconic voice of one of the main characters to something completely different
Kyler M John Marston ain‘t a cowboy he is an killer, a real killer don‘t mistake that he killed hundreds of people and he doesn‘t feel bad about nor did he ever cry. Don‘t mistake him for some simple cowboy he is an killer outlaw but also family man in rdr1
When you hear this guy talk about what's most important to him, there are definite parallels to John Marston's own beliefs. It's no wonder his delivery of that character was so damn good.
So, the guy basically _actually_ is, John Marston. I mean not only is that his normal voice, but down to a T he's like John, he walked away from a life he didn't want anymore to become a family man, now works at a farm kind of place, he likes to talk and ramble about life lessons and such... let's just hope the rest of his life doesn't play out like John's ; - ;
Funnily enough, it kinda might in a way. I believe it is all but confirmed that Rob is returning to play John Marston in Red Dead Redemption II despite having walked away from acting for good. Kinda similar to how John had his family life for a few years after the gang left him before he was forced to return to a violent life by the Bureau to chase down his former gang mates. It's a really interesting parallel in their lives.
Well, He's been roped in by the suits to do RDR 2, so it's kinda playing out like john's life. I guess it all comes down to whether or not Zelnick and the Houser brothers pop two in the back of his kneck when RDR 2 ships.
It would happen if he was a family man and got famous. He's too peaceful and positive. He would be a target off the bat. The man speaks his mind. Speaks from the heart. They don't like that. Hollywood 🌟 wackers would get him 😒
I can’t believe how similar he is to his character John Marston and I don’t just mean physically but their values are practically the same. This is why John Marston feels so real and alive, it’s because he wasn’t just played by a talented actor but by a man that ressembles him a lot.
+HQ dayday Express Stroke patients actually can't see sentences correctly. It depends on where the stroke is but it can jumble up words for them. For example instead of 'Hey, how are you doing today?' they would see something like 'today are? Hey doing are you how' or the most extreme could be 'wyyeH hert ingoad ?,oouae.' Transient Ischemic Attacks are a series a much smaller strokes but are more subtle and less localized hence the transient part of the name. They can also persist for as long as decades without anyone noticing changes in speech or motor function, depending on how severe and often the attacks are.
Jup i would be pretty happy if his kids play his 15 year old game, that’s how old it would be when they have the correct motor skills to play it and hear the language they say ( idk if they want them to hear swears, no parent wants an 8 year old to cuss too)
Meto im happy he came back i love red dead redemption im playing red dead 1 for the first time now but not il playing red dead 2 it sad i did not play it when i came out 8 years ago but ive desided to play both games in 2018
Sam Spence Agreed. What Rockstar don't seem to realize is that recycling some of their most loved characters would result into a massive success given how much characters like Marston or Niko Bellic made history among fans.
Sebastian Simion I personally think it's a good idea for them to have a new protagonist every game. Re-using an old character would make me feel like everything I did in the past game was pointless since, given the standard formula for sandbox games, I'd have to work my way up from the bottom again. Plus, it means a more diverse cast of characters and more voice actors whose names will become well-known.
MegamanXfan21xx I'm not saying this should be done EVERY time. After all, only some of the characters can be considered as truly charismatic. Personally, the only two I'd re-use are Marston and Niko Bellic. Of course that's just my opinion, and some other people might think that all the characters are outstanding & deserve to be re-used, however I think those two really are some of the most loved ones among all Rockstar games. So bottom line is I don't want to use them all again, just the two fan favorites. As for that feeling of having to do everything all over again, I can understand that, but still, given that the two stories really don't have to be linked to one another, you can also see the second story as something totally different rather than the continuation of the previous one. There's also no need to necessarily start at the bottom. Actually, what's the bottom? We never really get on top of ALL of our problems in life, so even though Niko has solved his problems with Dimitri & co., he won't just relax till the end of his life. There's a high chance of seeing some other antagonists spawning around, however they're not the same as the previous ones, so there's no need to feel like you're just going through the same stuff all over again.
Imagine finding out your dad voice acted in one of the best videogames ever made. I wonder if Rob will ever let them play it when they are older just to see their reaction
Hunter RIP im not. Search Red dead redemption 2's trailer and look. He is in a choke hold and had cuts where his scars were in the first game. Do you're research before commenting. EDIT: Its the newest one. May 2nd Trailer 3 On Rockstar games UA-cam
Apparently the actors worked on Red Dead 2 for five years. Chances are when they made this video, Rob either was working on Red Dead 2 or just about to find out he'd be working with Rockstar again.
I met Rob at a comic convention last year.. and he was the most kind, joyous, and PLEASANT human being I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. He deserves every ounce of success he gets in his life. He’s truly a wonderful person.
I like that he only did one character. good thing that the character turned out to be one of the best protagonists in the past 20 years of gaming. he's a great guy in real life too
If you close your eyes, it's like you are listening to John telling the story of RDR... very emotional and the best game ever made... RDR beats GTA V to it's knees and beyond and GTA V it's very good game just RDR is just soo much better
Tino Gutierrez I don't know what you are talking about, i just saw RDR ending again, John Marston quit voice acting and he has two kids and a lovely wife...period.
Tino Gutierrez Yeah, i know, and i was incredibly mad at the ending, i just don't like it, i mean i know it was good on several levels and it adds to the drama of real life and all that...but i didn't liked it.
Exactly. I hate that I never got to play RDR1 because I'm not much of a gamer, but as soon as I started playing RDR2 I fell in love with John. I wish I could've played the whole story mode of RDR2 as John but at least I get him in the epilogue. I'd psy good money to have RDR1 come back to PS4 and PS5.
That was an amazing interview, i didn't expect that. In a few years: "Random person: - What does your father do for a job? Wiethoff's children: - My father is John Marston."
I am from seymour indiana too..... that small town John Mellencamp is talking about is Seymour Indiana!!! John Mellencamp is from the same town as this guy...... and me.... I'm a nobody lol
Knowing that the REAL John Marston is living a happy life with his family makes me very relieved. Almost 10 years and I still haven't gotten over that ending man.
I think i figured out how he got the job the First American train robbery in history was in Seymour Indiana by Reno Gang pretty much plot to red dead redemption 2.
Rob Wiethoff is truly one of those rare people that deserves all the success and happiness in this world and the fact that John Marston is living on a farm with his family in some way is just so pure
He still pretty much walked away from the industry. He only came back because he liked the game and John Marston and briefly came back to reprise the role.
@@margaritaguildpublishing1700 Not really, if it came out when he was 10 he'd be 18 and he could have been even a bit older than that when it came out.
i know this is a really old video, but i’ve got a lot of respect for Rob. he put his time in to create some amazing art, but he still wants to go back home and be with his family. love that
Guy got sick of people lying to him, just wanted a job in LA. Realized those people were toxic. Wound up having HIMSELF, not a character, forever ingrained on millions of kids of what a man is, in a society with lost boys all over. That is more successful than any actor in Hollywood could hope to attain.
Hmmm...I disagree. Most gamers would recognize the name John Marston, sure, but not the voice actor who played him. Hell I watched this video and I still don't remember the guy's name. Also John Marston isn't exactly the kind of guy who represents "being a man"; he was a piece of shit. That's like saying "John Gotti was a caring, family man. A really great guy."
@@Machiave11i by "himself" he means people recognise the voice even if they weren't shown the character. And that voice is the original voice of the actor that plays him. So a piece of the voice actor is ingrained in many people worldwide, even if they weren't told it's John Marston
@@Machiave11i please stop john Marston (rob weedoff) is my hero he was one of the people that helped me with my manners so don't say he's a bad guy I almost cried when rdr2 is coming out so please don't talk shit
@@estignatic I heard they when in the full development in 2014 too. But I think he had at least be aware, because Danny Ross (He was on O&A and was hired at R*) put out a bunch of leaks when he was fired and specifically mentioned RD2 and that was in 2012 I believe.
@@TRIIGGAVELLI Roger Clark has said Rockstar took 8 years making it so I'm guessing Rockstar started working on it right after the release of the first.
How crazy is it that this guy is doing exactly just what Marston wanted to do before he got killed... Be done with his past life and live a happy life with his family in a farm!
I like how rockstar will get small time actors, hell not even actors at all for their games. Small town people. Except for Ray liota. They don't just hire famous voice actors right away such as Troy Baker, nolin north, Tara strong etc. They give these people a great opportunity to be apart of a huge project that will lead them to other big projects.
knightghost 17 And they're always really good in the roles they're selected for, whoever does the casting for pretty much All Rockstar games deserves a raise.
***** Maybe they'll just reuse lines. For example: "I'm here to capture or kill Bill Williamson." "What are you talkin about John, we're in the same gang." "WHERE IS JAVIER ESCUELA!" "Right here John, we are in the same gang." See? Works like a charm
Great video. I think we (as a society) spend so much time focusing on the people who Hollywood breaks, the ones who fall victim to drugs, alcohol, sex (not to say any of those things are expressly bad, but everything in moderation, right?) the ones that have mental breakdowns and lead cops on 8 hour police chases which end in some pervert paparazzo getting a candid upskirt shot as the cops slap on the cuffs, the ones who are chewed up, spit out, and left for dead in an LA alley. This man, he went to Hollywood, worked his ass off, made a stunningly iconic performance in what will always be one of greatest video games of all time, met the love of his life, and found his way back home to happily raise a family with her. Rob never let Hollywood define him, and in turn, ended up defining a little slice of Hollywood, or more specifically, video games. He is the kind of person we should idolize and strive to be like, and he is a reminder to us all that happiness is achievable if you just know where to look.
Rob if you ever see this. Please know that your performance and Red Dead Redemption changed me to be a better human being. The first time I got moved by a game to the point of tears was at the ending of RDR. I always and forever will be grateful to you and rockstar for this masterpiece.
I am actually one of rob's cousins and i will definetly make sure he reads this!!!! He really appreciates every single one of you guys! and if you're wondering, I am his sister's nephew!
Man, I don't get emotional easily, but this interview caused me to tear up. How the game was basically reminiscent of his own life is just amazing, simply amazing. John wanted to create a better life for himself and his family by getting out of the gang. Just like Rob, going to L.A. to better himself, he was able to start a family. Beautiful.
Just imagine when the kids grow up and they're asked "So what did your parents do for a living?" and they reply "Well, my dad is the guy behind John Marston"...
Rob IS John Marston. A badass on the surface, but a hard working family man at heart. I too grew up in a small town and arguably over-romanticized life somewhere else. I lived abroad for 10 years and it was a life changing experience that I wouldn't change for anything, but years later I'm back in my hometown, near my remaining family and even starting a family of my own. I find such a great happiness in providing for them. I get the privilege each and every day to come home to people I care about, and it's a joy like no other. You're an inspiration in more ways than you know, Rob. This is a fantastic documentary.
Man. Mad respect to Rob for stepping back. And really? If you're going to lend yourself to ONLY one game, Red Dead Redemption is the one to do. In my humble opinion, it's THE best game for Xbox.
NorthWriter Till this day, I still proudly proclaim that Red Dead Redemption is my favorite Xbox game! And the general response to that is: "I've never played it".
NorthWriter Probably because Xbox has no other real exclusives or games to compete with it, because it certainly isn’t the best game for Playstation. Even though it’s certainly in the top 5.
He retired to live in a farm with his family, but rockstar tracked him down and pushed him back in the business for one more game. Very ironic

"I got a family, thats more important."
He's Marston, allright, he wanted to settle down, have a family and own a ranch. And he did.
He got the happy ending.
Did you step on a lego
Just hope the feds don't go after the poor guy
You think he gets a happy ending have you been in a coma
he dies in the first one
Until he didn't
I hope R* cut him a fat check for RDR2.
For such a legendary voice, they most likely did
Heruagarwaen I’m just glad he came back
Meto im happy he came back i love red dead redemption im playing red dead 1 for the first time now but not il playing red dead 2 it sad i did not play it when i came out 8 years ago but ive desided to play both games in 2018
they auctually did not, because rd1 was such a big succuess, his asking price was much higher. thats why you see a little bit of john marston in rd2
Hopefully they didn't do him like they did the voice actor for Niko.
I really hope Rockstar makes a RDR prequel. John Marston is, in my opinion, the best video game protagonist ever.
Same. But I'm pretty sure the guy made it pretty clear he's truly happy where he's at. Doesn't look like a big chance he will be returning!
Sam Spence Agreed. What Rockstar don't seem to realize is that recycling some of their most loved characters would result into a massive success given how much characters like Marston or Niko Bellic made history among fans.
Same, by 1,000,000 Miles
Sebastian Simion I personally think it's a good idea for them to have a new protagonist every game. Re-using an old character would make me feel like everything I did in the past game was pointless since, given the standard formula for sandbox games, I'd have to work my way up from the bottom again.
Plus, it means a more diverse cast of characters and more voice actors whose names will become well-known.
MegamanXfan21xx I'm not saying this should be done EVERY time. After all, only some of the characters can be considered as truly charismatic. Personally, the only two I'd re-use are Marston and Niko Bellic. Of course that's just my opinion, and some other people might think that all the characters are outstanding & deserve to be re-used, however I think those two really are some of the most loved ones among all Rockstar games. So bottom line is I don't want to use them all again, just the two fan favorites.
As for that feeling of having to do everything all over again, I can understand that, but still, given that the two stories really don't have to be linked to one another, you can also see the second story as something totally different rather than the continuation of the previous one. There's also no need to necessarily start at the bottom. Actually, what's the bottom? We never really get on top of ALL of our problems in life, so even though Niko has solved his problems with Dimitri & co., he won't just relax till the end of his life. There's a high chance of seeing some other antagonists spawning around, however they're not the same as the previous ones, so there's no need to feel like you're just going through the same stuff all over again.

Me when I heard John's voice for the first time in years in rdr2
Egenix52 that’s perfect dude
Got chills when I heard him screaming in the howling snowstorm

Imagine finding out your dad voice acted in one of the best videogames ever made. I wonder if Rob will ever let them play it when they are older just to see their reaction
Two* of the best video games ever made.
Lord Beerus Nah thats gta while rdr is ONE of the best games of all time you fat suckahh

Like john Marston.
Shagadelic Spy same
Can't wait to hear this mans voice again in RD2
Noah Gilmore he’s in it?
_Harrison He was in the trailer. It shows how he got his scars and it was young Marston too.
Hunter RIP im not. Search Red dead redemption 2's trailer and look. He is in a choke hold and had cuts where his scars were in the first game. Do you're research before commenting.
EDIT: Its the newest one. May 2nd Trailer 3 On Rockstar games UA-cam
It's a different voice actor though.
Wolfyyy is it gonna be? I'm pretty sure they got Dutch and Bills original voice actors
3:27 ''I miss working with Rockstar'' - 2013.
Well he would do it again
SkoglundTV little did he know...
Apparently the actors worked on Red Dead 2 for five years. Chances are when they made this video, Rob either was working on Red Dead 2 or just about to find out he'd be working with Rockstar again.
EtherDimentionalist and if he did maybe he couldn't say anything to keep it hush hush
@@ItsTimeIDisappear09 well of course he couldn't say anything
I met Rob at a comic convention last year.. and he was the most kind, joyous, and PLEASANT human being I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. He deserves every ounce of success he gets in his life. He’s truly a wonderful person.
I like that he only did one character. good thing that the character turned out to be one of the best protagonists in the past 20 years of gaming. he's a great guy in real life too
If you close your eyes, it's like you are listening to John telling the story of RDR... very emotional and the best game ever made... RDR beats GTA V to it's knees and beyond and GTA V it's very good game just RDR is just soo much better
+Jerri . pogacnik l second that notion..
That's it...this is now, oficially the true ending of Red Dead Redemption, period.
MadSnake123 I wish that could have been the ending of Red Dead Redemption
Tino Gutierrez I don't know what you are talking about, i just saw RDR ending again, John Marston quit voice acting and he has two kids and a lovely wife...period.
MadSnake123 I mean wish the ending was you got to be with his family Red Dead Redemption
Tino Gutierrez Yeah, i know, and i was incredibly mad at the ending, i just don't like it, i mean i know it was good on several levels and it adds to the drama of real life and all that...but i didn't liked it.
MadSnake123 yeah that's why when I make it to my family in Red Dead Redemption I pretend that the ending
Still the OG. I love Arthur so much as a character but it’s truly John’s story.
Exactly. I hate that I never got to play RDR1 because I'm not much of a gamer, but as soon as I started playing RDR2 I fell in love with John. I wish I could've played the whole story mode of RDR2 as John but at least I get him in the epilogue. I'd psy good money to have RDR1 come back to PS4 and PS5.

In a few years:
"Random person: - What does your father do for a job?
Wiethoff's children: - My father is John Marston."
Oooohhh *MY GOD*
In the words of Jack Marston *AHEM* "I'M JOHN MARSTON'S BOY"
People who are fishing will start sweating
to be honest I saw John Marston as a dad
Rip Van Winkle
He married an LA girl and brought her to a small town. Sir your truly living a John cougar mellencamp lyric
🤟
I am from seymour indiana too..... that small town John Mellencamp is talking about is Seymour Indiana!!! John Mellencamp is from the same town as this guy...... and me.... I'm a nobody lol
Andrew Johnson I’m from Seymour to bud
YES
His wife even looks like Abigail to a certain extent.
It's really cool how he's now living the life John Marston wanted
J M A C it very well may have been the script that added to his perspective. He saw in John Marston what was important in himself...
DowntownLAKid Well said
Knowing that the REAL John Marston is living a happy life with his family makes me very relieved. Almost 10 years and I still haven't gotten over that ending man.
Man was born to be John Marston...he's got an epic voice
Rob’s wife is basically Abigail.
Yeah... No that's not... Just... No
I think i figured out how he got the job the First American train robbery in history was in Seymour Indiana by Reno Gang pretty much plot to red dead redemption 2.

Rob Wiethoff is truly one of those rare people that deserves all the success and happiness in this world and the fact that John Marston is living on a farm with his family in some way is just so pure
He still pretty much walked away from the industry. He only came back because he liked the game and John Marston and briefly came back to reprise the role.
Ghoffman91 spoiler it’s not briefly
One last score
Deffo not briefly. He has tons of dialogue!
It took the cast five years to finish their work on the game.
“Briefly”
(cough playable cough)

I watched this years ago. Dont be a lazy democrat and expect everything to be handed to you without lifting a finger.
I had to find it from a comment section on another RDR2 video. Great job algorithm.
"Just who are you, Jim Milton?"
"I'm a family man."
You mean, Rip Van Winkle
This man is like the modern day version of John Marston. He does everything for his family and is a humble, down-to-earth man.
Well worfed exept hes not a tired of killing gunfighter/former outlaw
But he's tired of life at Los Angeles which isn't much different if you think about it.
Happiness is not a destination, you have to enjoy the journey.... i love that
i know this is a really old video, but i’ve got a lot of respect for Rob. he put his time in to create some amazing art, but he still wants to go back home and be with his family. love that
Guy got sick of people lying to him, just wanted a job in LA. Realized those people were toxic.
Wound up having HIMSELF, not a character, forever ingrained on millions of kids of what a man is, in a society with lost boys all over. That is more successful than any actor in Hollywood could hope to attain.
Hmmm...I disagree. Most gamers would recognize the name John Marston, sure, but not the voice actor who played him. Hell I watched this video and I still don't remember the guy's name. Also John Marston isn't exactly the kind of guy who represents "being a man"; he was a piece of shit. That's like saying "John Gotti was a caring, family man. A really great guy."
Machiave11i shut up dumbass
Ghaemi350z lol what he has some points. Could you at least give me a reason as to why you said “Shut up dumbass”?
@@Machiave11i by "himself" he means people recognise the voice even if they weren't shown the character. And that voice is the original voice of the actor that plays him. So a piece of the voice actor is ingrained in many people worldwide, even if they weren't told it's John Marston
@@Machiave11i please stop john Marston (rob weedoff) is my hero he was one of the people that helped me with my manners so don't say he's a bad guy I almost cried when rdr2 is coming out so please don't talk shit
Glad he returned in RDR2. A genuine regular guy. Badass.
plot to RDR2 is pretty much first train robbery in america history is Reno Gang from Seymour Indiana i believe that is how he got the job.
He's just drunk is all
Rob Weithoff, you Sir, are an inspiration and I salute you. I hope we cross paths someday.
if i ever saw him "If it ain't john marston" or "howdy"
Why do you want to cross paths with him? For cheap sex in a gas station restroom?
"I miss working for rockstar" as he was working on rdr2
In 2013? I dunno. Maybe.
@@TRIIGGAVELLI I think they started the year after.
@@estignatic I heard they when in the full development in 2014 too. But I think he had at least be aware, because Danny Ross (He was on O&A and was hired at R*) put out a bunch of leaks when he was fired and specifically mentioned RD2 and that was in 2012 I believe.
@@TRIIGGAVELLI Roger Clark has said Rockstar took 8 years making it so I'm guessing Rockstar started working on it right after the release of the first.
They started motion-capture in 2013 but he could've started after this interview took place so when says he misses Rockstar, he might've been genuine.
How crazy is it that this guy is doing exactly just what Marston wanted to do before he got killed... Be done with his past life and live a happy life with his family in a farm!
Nabillio96 and then he came back for rdr2
@@1imak- except it's a prequel
Nevermore he went back in time i guess
I like how rockstar will get small time actors, hell not even actors at all for their games. Small town people.
Except for Ray liota.
They don't just hire famous voice actors right away such as Troy Baker, nolin north, Tara strong etc. They give these people a great opportunity to be apart of a huge project that will lead them to other big projects.
knightghost 17 And they're always really good in the roles they're selected for, whoever does the casting for pretty much All Rockstar games deserves a raise.
So they can pay them less too
And they need people with accents bare in mind
Like this guy could be a literal cowboy
you are wrong, before gta iv rockstar always hired various celebrities in their games
Best voice ever.
+Sanic have you played red dead redemption?
I know
damn right...and they better use that guy again...He's golden and made the game.
+flinx649
Rockstar games wouldn't make it directly related to Redemption if they couldn't get Marston's real voice back. He'll be in it, I know it
***** Maybe they'll just reuse lines. For example:
"I'm here to capture or kill Bill Williamson."
"What are you talkin about John, we're in the same gang."
"WHERE IS JAVIER ESCUELA!"
"Right here John, we are in the same gang."
See? Works like a charm
06:10 "Happiness is not a destination. You have to enjoy the journey" This hits me hard

I'm pretty sure that his Kids always be proud of that,what he made.
hope his kids don't go grizzly hunting by themselves
Jon Goli they better cry like we all did when SPOILER!!!!
John dies
That'd be weird for them, hearing his voice on someone else
Just don't let them see the intro of "The Gates of El Presidio"
Great video. I think we (as a society) spend so much time focusing on the people who Hollywood breaks, the ones who fall victim to drugs, alcohol, sex (not to say any of those things are expressly bad, but everything in moderation, right?) the ones that have mental breakdowns and lead cops on 8 hour police chases which end in some pervert paparazzo getting a candid upskirt shot as the cops slap on the cuffs, the ones who are chewed up, spit out, and left for dead in an LA alley.
This man, he went to Hollywood, worked his ass off, made a stunningly iconic performance in what will always be one of greatest video games of all time, met the love of his life, and found his way back home to happily raise a family with her. Rob never let Hollywood define him, and in turn, ended up defining a little slice of Hollywood, or more specifically, video games.
He is the kind of person we should idolize and strive to be like, and he is a reminder to us all that happiness is achievable if you just know where to look.

Melariana Grantinez YES
Man, I don't get emotional easily, but this interview caused me to tear up. How the game was basically reminiscent of his own life is just amazing, simply amazing. John wanted to create a better life for himself and his family by getting out of the gang. Just like Rob, going to L.A. to better himself, he was able to start a family. Beautiful.
Sane haha!
Just imagine when the kids grow up and they're asked "So what did your parents do for a living?" and they reply "Well, my dad is the guy behind John Marston"...
