Dutch has been stealing Arthur's hair tonics.
And his pomade
I was wondering where they went
Oh thats where my hair tonics went hun DUTCH COME HERE wow he is hiding DUTCH WHERE ARE U
and his food
becawse yeah he dose
Aside from the voice cracks, he doesn’t even need to do anything to voice Dutch.
those voice cracks add so much to his performance.
Lodwig Redemption I agree!
It'd be wierd to hear Dutch without his voice cracks
Its cool to know that he is actually doing those voice cracks intentionally while in-character.
His and Roger Clarke's performance in rdr2 is the best of all time
Dutch’s story is almost as tragic as Arthur’s. The dude just wanted to be free but that desire descended to delusional obsession.
I'm of Uncles opinion that Dutch wanted to be king of the free and that hypocrisy was a nail that split everything he'd built.
You got to take into account things took a toll on him and I think he became something in the end that he didn’t want. Multiple events had a spiralling effect on him. The major bank robberies that failed with Pinkertons that showed up each time, these resulted in key members being killed which made him become less trustworthy of people close to him. Micah took over as his right hand man and the bash he took to his head may have done something too. Concussions have been found to have mind altering effects on people.
Dutch and Big Boss (snake) has the same ideology
@@tysayre3692 when does he say that? It's surprisingly accurate
@@KurwaRomek I believe it's a camp convo you just stumble on.
What a beautiful man! Reminds me of myself!!! 😉
I had a goddamn plan!
What's the plan Dutch?
He's also very modest😄
😂😂😂hahaha
You'll get your plan when you fix this DAMN door!!
Hes 100% right on RDR being closer to literature. I presented the story to my English class and they loved it
It really is more like a full western novel, especially with all the interactions and developments in a vast environment
Oh wow. I once got failed in english for trying to use a video game and its story for an example of some thing they wanted an essay for. It was a legit essay and it answered the question, but "i dont think games are a good idea because theyre.. " and then they made an announcement to the class that anything about games was now off-limits for any upcoming assessments, because the teacher said so. And yeah 0%. Not even a pity mark or anything. It was just "fuck you, fuck your games and fuck your future"
How times have changed since i was at school. :(
I used Red Dead Redemption 1 for a story analysis back in 2011, when I was in 6th grade. But I had to lie and say it was a novel lol.
Walt Murfree this should be a crime. Teachers should be encouraging people to learn regardless of what form thats in. “Video games are bad” is an outdated excuse in this day and age. I call *boomer*
Butch Cassidy
He looks like epilogue Dutch
I can’t unsee it.
Hé does
“What are you doing here Dutch”
“Same as you I suppose”
Lol just killed the “legendary rat”
Red Dead Redemption means the world to me. The first game came out when I was in high school. My home life wasn’t great, and Red Dead was my escape from all the bad around me. It inspired me to move out west, and as a kid in high school, I remember saying that one day I would have a ranch of my own. when I turned 20 I made my way to a small mountain town in the middle of nowhere in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, married the love of my life, and as of last March I’m proud to say I purchased my own ranch at the foot the mountains. My wife and I have decided to name it beecher's hope, as tribute to all Red Dead has done for me. My wife wanted a ps4 last Christmas, and now Red Dead Redemption 2 online has become something special we do as a family. I found out this year that we’re going to have a baby. When my child grows up, I cant wait to show them the game that inspired me, and gave me the drive to make my dreams come true . This game means more to me than any other form of media ever could.
Nice bro
Really makes one sad to see someone else living their dream 😅 seems like your planning skills are better than Dutch’s
Now this is what i want my family to be
Hey mate I know the feeling. Playing RDR2 has given me a better self esteem about myself (as I’m on the Austin’s spectrum and tried to hide it for years) ever since I’ve played RDR2 I’ve felt more secure with who I am and what I am and not afraid to say it. That’s what Rockstar and the RDR series have done for me.
heyhannah lol, for sure
Golden voice. That man could read the phone book and make it sound interesting.
love how he is wearing red and black like dutch
Its opposite though
This comment made me realize that Dutch wears the main color scheme of the game/franchise: black, white, and red.
Zairon Nujohr so?
Who else got goosebumps when Benjamin said “plan” at 21:36 ?

Strauss? He died in custody not saying a word about the gang.
When I was visiting my parents I brought over my PS4 and played RDR2 while I was there. My dad, being 58, had never been so interested in a video game. Just by casually watching as he sat on the couch while we sipped beers, he was totally captivated by the acting and storytelling of the game. He was so interested that he even had me start a new game to play it from the beginning. He was so emotionally involved like I had never seen before, giving his own observations on the characters and situations as if they were all real, because they do feel real. Now he's seriously considering buying the game for himself to play it all the way through! I truly think it's one of the best stories ever told, and will always have a special place in my heart.
I’ve just been at my dad’s in Scotland and I’d be banging on about this for ages as he’s barely played any games apart from when is was a kid. Slightly different is that I asked him to watch it to understand my perspective. He absolutely loved it and thought it was gripping storytelling and gave a great perspective of the time period and he came out of it asking is there other stuff like RDR2 and I told him all of them. He’s 56 and loved every bit of Red Dead Redemption 2.
Great story, I wish I had a dad like that.
Such a great dude, Games are art!
RDR2 is art
AJGaming chill
@AJGaming anger issues much
AJGaming no one said that
@AJGaming nobody said its bad... its honestly one the greatest games ever made
"I kill fewer people"
But the implication is that he DOES indeed kill people.
"I kill fewer people."
*Press X to doubt*
2:09 When someone asks where the money from Blackwater is
Lmao
8:32 That is really true. I played RDR1 before RDR2 launch. When I completed RDR2, I immediately wanted to play RDR1 again.
Bruh, same. Each game enriches the other, and that’s something special that I love about these two games. You can see the special love and care that went into each story by the entire team that worked on them.
@@LuciusVorenusOfficial cant see the love put into the online though, such a dissapointment
Same, wanted to play as John after finishing the main story
R* needs to remake Red Dead Redemption already using the RDR2 engine. . Half of the map is already there.
I just started playing rdr1 for the first time in a year one year ago was the first ever time I played rdr1 and I stopped on the first Landon rickets and yesterday for there it took me 12 hours to beat the hole game from the first Landon Rickets to the end
So glad they didn’t class ‘Hollywood stars’, I really can’t imagine these parts being played better. Everyone nails it. Dutch is brilliant!!!
Most Hollywood stars nowadays are not even that good
I hope we get a RDR3 where we play as a young Dutch
I want this so bad. I've heard so many people say that there isn't enough story left to do a whole 3rd game and I'm sitting over here like "you could do a whole game about how the gang got together!!". We already know that every member has a story about how Dutch picked them up, so let's do that!
@@celeste4302 logically if they want to continue the western theme, then i think you can be assured that part 3 will be another prequel, otherwise you risk changing the whole vibe. And plenty of characters we could potentially take the perspective of, either whom we've seen or has been mentioned in passing. It'll be fun to see the Gang in a slightly happier period if that's the case.
@@PeteValence exactly! I wanna see the gang in their glory days before all the shit hit the fan. Not to mention, no Micah!
@@celeste4302 i Want to see the tale of Landon Ricckets and play as him,he is the best gunslinger in rdr And he doesn’t have screen time,only 3 mission in rdr1 and gets mentionned sometimes in rdr2
Hell you could even continue the game with a story about Jack, but I would be all for rdr3 being either playing as a young Arthur and being found by Dutch and Hosea or to play as Dutch and find out how the Van Der Linde gang started
Dutch loved Arthur ...he fucked up but he truly loved him
..
Also Benjamin seems to be such a nice person
17:58 Him explaining the connection between the two games, and coming to the conclusion that Arthur was on Dutch's mind as he jumped off the cliff in the first game; I hadn't thought about it like that, but I love that he mentioned it. It does make that scene much more poignant.
Absolutely love Dutch in ep 1-4 of RDR2. Didn’t love him in the rest or any of RDR1, but Benjamin Byron Davis played that role to a goddamn tee. He had the right voice and right charisma. He was the perfect man for the part. I love the story of the series and he was awesome!
Did you not like how his character was written or did you just not like that he turned and was "the bad guy". There's a big difference. I of course love Dutch when he's sane but I have to say I love how they wrote him and how he slowly went insane and showed his true colors
I mean that's kind of the point of his character
vicic I didn’t like his character after chapter 4 the same way I didn’t like Voldemort in Harry Potter. You’re not supposed to like him.
vicic I will say I was a bit surprised that John Marston was so put off when Dutch fed Angelo Bronte to a gator. If someone kidnapped my son I would hack their limbs off one at a time and let them watch me feed them to a gator as they drifted in and out of consciousness.
@@nwcoastlife Thank you for the clarification. I thought you meant you didnt like how dutch was written and performed, which wouldn't be fitting for a video like this
When i first played Red Dead redemption2 i was with my father it caught his attention he watched me play with it he said the acting is better than some movie's he was so moved by the acting. He said that the game is just amazing but hated when Arthur gets TB and when he die the man was actually pissed about it
this guy played the best character in fiction in 5 or 10 years a legend
That's a pretty heavy statement tbh
Mo nah his character is amazing, has real depth, one of the best villains from a video game
@@Syndixal so you want to tell me that calling him the "best character in FICTION for 5-10 years" isn't a heavy ass statement?,
Mo it really is, but not really, personally Dutch is In my top, 10 but it’s all personal opinion really
I agree he's a really good character but to say in the past 5 or 10 years he's the best is just 'sucking his cock' a little more than anyone should.
“Our time has passed, John”
Dutch Van Der Linde, 1911
"Have some goddamn FAITH!"
DVDL, 1899
Absolute legend. I can't imagine anyone else to pull off that perfectly written shakespearean descent into madness as well as Ben did.
Side note, props to whoever wrote the questions; for the most part they were great.
Yoo this is the character I voiced! Thank you guys for loving my performance in portraying the character of Benjamin Byron Davis.. it was one of the longest & hardest performances I did. Take love ❤❤
As i look into this man's eyes I am just overwhelmed with a feeling of faith and security, knowing he has an outstanding plan.
Dutch Van Der Linde is one of the most iconic characters in the history of video games. Thank you!
Why did you leave me behind on the train?!
@@ericknatterer5908 How?! You could've just helped me! But you left!
Benjamin after RDR1: "Rockstar, I've got a plan"
"Benjamin, this won't work-"
"HAVE SOME *GODDAMN FAITH* ROCKSTAR"
“Dutch is in charge of his own faith at all times..You can’t change Dutch.”
*Micah has entered that chat*
This guy is one of those actors I wish I was buddies with. Dude has the voice and appearance of a God.
I love how his voice sounds just like Dutch. It’s not forced or made up to fit the character. You close your eyes while listening to this and you can almost picture Dutch talking about R*.
Dutch Van der linde is my favourite character of all time. Of every game I played or movie I watched. Sme quotes of him I will take to my grave.
I’m still holding out some goddamn faith for a RDR1 remake
Dutch was my favorite character in red dead redemption 2
27:44 But there is a story to tell! Tell us how Dutch and Hosea met Arthur, how they raised him and started the gang, with Bessie, Annabelle... hell, start even earlier (maybe for another one) with how Dutch and Hosea met. I‘d love to play this =)
The most obvious story I see them portraying would be the Blackwater massacre and the events leading up to it. You’d most likely be playing as Dutch or a reprise of Arthur or John, unless they have you play a character out of left field like Bill Williamson or Javier Escuela.
Rdr 3 :)
@@jrod9777 Javier could work it would be interesting for a young Javier growing up in Mexico
j rod no
Weave in how Dutch and Colm end up on bad terms, and end it off with Blackwater.
Jesus christ, his hands are huge lol
Its so he can hold all the munneh...
It's for all that money and faith to go to TAHITI
Walt Murfree His hands are the same size as that money box at camp
Those are hands for picking mangos at Tahiti!!!
It's where he writes his goddamn PLANS!
"He...INSIST?..."
He really just committed insist to my face. WHERE'S THE L O Y A L T Y
Loved the video. Yes, RDR2 is a masterpiece work. I haven't played RDR, but am certain I will. It would be nice if they could somehow bring the video quality up to the RDR2 standard as 10 years, maybe 15 now since it was filmed, have seen a lot of leaps forward in graphics. Very much hoping for a RDR3 that perhaps focuses on the events of the 1890 through to the Blackwater massacre in 1899.
Yesss i would love if they put rdr1 on PS4 it doesn't need a remake or remastered just release it rin the story I just want to play it, rdr2 makes the first game so impactful now after learning what happened to everyone
Nasser Almulaifi and same thing backwards...what I mean is like I’ve played rdr 1 a lot and The fact that u see John killing bill and Javier and going after Dutch made me question what have they done for it to go down the way it did and how bill became a gang leader. Fun fact in a hidden dialogue in camp the one in the caves...bill is sitting around a camp table and he says to one of the members “ believe me one day people will be taking orders from me” the for shadowing in this game is a masterpiece
I pray to God that they *Remaster* RDR and add it as a DLC continuing the RDR story from RDR2, if they did that I'd worship Rockstar 😂
RDR is backwards compatible for Xbox one so you can always just do that? (I know the graphics are old but it still holds up and looks fantastic I highly recommend you play it for the story 👀)
It’s crazy after I played rdr2 and I went back and played rdr and, yes the graphics are nothing compared to the 2nd but the story telling is amazing. Dutch’s death hits even harder after playing rdr.
RDR3 should end with Micah showing up "Hey, I got a tip about a ferry job..."
I love love LOVE how much these guys clearly love the games they starred in.
Thanks for the video. I love the detail they put into everything in this game. Even the non main characters. For instance one of the most memorable scenes for me is Colm O'Driscoll's hanging. To see someone so sure of themselves even with a noose around there neck is crazy. The the very next moment when he realizes his gangs rescue attempt is foiled. To see some so rattled like that is a very rare thing to see. I mean you can figuratively see his sould die in a span of 2-5 seconds even before he is actually hanging. How they captured that will remain in my head for a long time.
It makes me so happy to hear Benny talking about his experience with GTA 3 and Mario 64. Dude's probably such a badass in real life.
His voice is amazing! 💞 Such a cool guy irl, and my favourite character in RDR!
This guy has such a gargantuan presence. He's phenomenal.
IDK why but he looks like the bloody baron with that shirt.
Nonetheless amazing guy and very talented actor! He nailed one of the most amazing villains in video game history.
I love his voice, such an interesting one. Fit Dutch's character beautifully!
I can’t help but loving Dutch’s character regardless of how evil he is (especially in the 1st game). I suppose that’s a testament to the characters charisma and allure. he did an excellent job bringing Dutch to life
So basically, Rod has a plan, and we all gotta have some goddamn faith in him.
Omg I’m patiently waiting for this
بادرددسدی
I could never forgive Rockstar for trick us to "fall in love" with Dutch in the second game even after we played the first one and saw how he ended. Red Dead (and Rdr2) was a life changing experience and Ben is amazing
Hey! I know that guy! He's Nastas's actor!
I know, its crazy. Everyone else keeps talking about the Durch character.
Its crazy that both guy voiced by the same actor
I think it's funny how one Red Dead reviewer said, "The voice acting of the Dutch Van Der Linge character is fantastic and the depth it reaches is absolutely beautiful, however, it is sad to see the terrible racist voice acting of the native character of Nastas and the voice actor should be fired.
@@ryanrusch3976 shut up
Ryan Rusch omg was the a joke because I'm genuinely dying 🤣🤣🤣
Before every big decision I make in life, I ask myself, "What would Dutch do?" Hasn't worked out for me yet, but I'm keeping the faith.
👏🏻👏🏻😂😂
His voice is so powerful and out-of-place for normal conversation, I look at him and hear Dutch voice-acting Benjamin Davis
i think the rdr cast really highlights the fact that rockstar games cares about natural acting, almost all of their protagonists and major characters are portrayed by actors who don't need to change too much about their natural habits to deliver a good performance. i say the rdr cast does it best because i think roger, ben and rob's interviews all show off the fact they are using their natural voices and body movements to play these phenomenal characters. you see it with the gta v guys too but the fact rob and ben sound exactly like john and dutch in normal conversation is just crazy..
The funny thing is that Rob(John) lives like a real cowboy, so yeah, he acts natural
Bastian Vera Pardo Rob is literally John Marston in real life
He should be the main character in RDR3.
100% agree with you there.
And the Epilogue has to be Arthur so it's Dutch & Arthur(RDR3), Arthur & John(RDR2), John & Jack(RDR)
and it has to end with Blackwater
Yeah I agree
It’s probably more likely to be Mac callander since every main protagonist dies in RDR
@@septicstache9625 The problem with having it and with Blackwater is that it leaves no smooth post game. I think they should have the hideout they used near Blackwater be the last hideout you use for the rest of the game.
@@septicstache9625 maybe Hosea
Love how this man appreciates the depth of the story, his character just seems so complex. Personally I still wonder the mindset of Dutch throughout the prequel.
What a charismatic and wonderful speaker. RDR2 is one of my favorite games, and it's because of these actors that it's as great as it is.
"closer to literature". Red Dead Redemption is the GREAT AMERICAN NOVEL. No doubt about it. And I'm including all the dialogue riding horses between locations too. That stuff is underrated.
This man has the best hair color ‘scheme’ I have ever seen.
God he sounds so much like Dutch.
I’m waiting for him to tell me that we need ‘one more score’ before we move to Tahiti.
I'm glad you clearly loved the games beyond a simple paycheck. Dutch is a really well written antagonist, but I think your portrayal really elevated him to a tragic figure. Thank you so much for hours of joy and heartbreak.
I could watch this guy talk for hours. Love the game. Love the character. Love the guy.
Ben looking like he's hiding away in Tall Trees waiting on John to come calling.
I'm 27 and love you since 2010 sir.
These interviews make me love the game even more
Best performance i've ever seen in a game, makes me happy that his mom played it all
Listening to this man talk....I swear, he's got some kind of plan concocting in that brain of his.
RDR 2 was definitely more like a literary novel with all the depth it felves into in terms of character development and relationships
Have you played MGS?
JayKay420 I prefer the western setting
You're the best Benjamin!!! Hope to see Duch again in an upcoming sequel!!!!!
"We need more Moneh!"
Is the slogan in my house.
imagine red dead 3 with Dutch as main character
I would love to see the video footage of the motion capture, just to see the real faces of the actors acting out their roles.
A big hats off to the big 3 ben byron davies roger clark and rob wiethoff and also to all the other actors however big or small who brought the characters we know and love from both games to life and to rockstar for making this happen bring on rdr 3
Man, I just read his mum's essay/article and it's bloody brilliant!
Such a cool person. The RDR games are my favorite of all time!
the best voice in the entire game
This man has the perfect voice for these games and it was awesome to see it unfold in the story. This story and characters had me so hooked I couldnt put it down
Agreed, Arthur Morgan is also my favorite video game protagonist ever. I really loved RDR 2
@@jimmymurphy898 it started off slow but I am happy I stuck with the progression, the sound track was unmatched especially after but events.
Love Byron/Dutch! You did an incredible job! You were indeed lucky to land that gig, but we were lucky to hear you!
No doubt they are Art, Death Stranding, Journey, RDR2,, Horizon ZD, Shadow of the Colossus just to name a few
Ita only get better from now on,
Keep doing what you do best Mr Big Ben, being awesome
Yess I agree with u and don't forget about the Japanese games too they are at the same level
I agree with all of them except Death Stranding
@@smoker5989 You're saying Death Stranding isn't art?
Serious Guy it’s more of a chore then a game
The Last of Us
He looks exactly like Bloody Baron from Witcher 3
I bought red dead 1 but never played the campaign and I played the campaign for RDR 2 so watching Dutch change was heartbreaking and shocking. Rockstar knows how to write a story.
Amazing guy! This video is really making me want to play RDR2 all over again!
When he kept saying about how he'd go to the director with reservations/doubts only to be told to trust the direction of the game, there was a missed opportunity for a "HAVE SOME GOD DAMN FAITH" line drop. Makes you wonder if those lines were written in because the actor behind Dutch needed to have some FAITH in the director.
I love how Dutch always talked about the morality of gunslinging and outlaws. It’s like he knew who and where he was in time but not enough to break the 4th wall.
Dutch said,
This is man so in love with greed he has forgotten himself and has found only appetites. He said to John that he spent is whole life fighting the law and everything. It made him a dead man walking for decades. John told him to give up but he can’t fight his own nature of gunslinging either. That’s the paradox.. it’s sad they all didn’t make it. But that was a matter of morality and time.
I love dutch.. he said hes not s big part but he truly is I couldn't imagine enyone eles
This man comes across as extremely humble. I’m glad he’s had a great experience with rockstar and the community in general. Great Actor, wish him the best.
Everyone who hasn't played Red Dead Redemption: Who is this man?
Cultured People: He is a man with a plan!
Great actor, love the sound of his voice in general!
The game itself should be considered the closest thing to an art product, within a game, that you can buy right now.
The only downside is the online mode which similar to a lot of titles, has fallen prey to sneaky underhanded tactics to push the average gamer into spending more money for in game currency, that you’d otherwise be grinding a few weeks/month for..
Bit of a double edged sword.. but well worth buying just for its story and artistic approach.
Him talking about how great red dead is, is making me wanna replay the games again
Same check out my rdr2
There's always Red Dead Online. I've put a lot of hours into that.
I get what he meant as fun as gameplay, Story driven from innocent Sunset to a storm in this prequel of how he was in control of his fate, in essence the story of the gang entire game, How it decenta into madness, In the end it has a conclusion. My understanding of Red dead redemption has opened my clarity because of the prequel. RDR & RDR2, The puzzle is now solved, those 2 games into once masterpiece. Both different yet, amazingly in it’s own right. Yup, He has had a plan and sometimes plan change. The nature of things.
I absolutely adore dutch Idc what anyone says he was lead down the wrong path x big ben we love you xxx
God I hope a remaster drops after Covid-19
But do you expect R* to have just worked at normal pace during the quarantine? Probably a lot of them are staying home if they can (still smart), and i very much doubt theyll have managed to get through enough work to release even a teaser for something. Let alone a full remaster.
Walt Murfree that’s true yeah but here’s hopin
I love this man! Its so good to see artists so in love with their craft. :)
Thanks for your performance of such a complex character, and of course the rest of the crew! I definitely enjoyed your Reddit post and AMA’s.
10 years for RDR “whats the plaAaAaAn Dutch”
He kind of sounds like Dutch Van Der Linde.
I have a feeling this man in the video has a plan!
i like how he understands what red dead means so well, good video
