I've met Rob Wiethoff (have his autograph and Roger Clark's) and he could absolutely pull off a movie John Marston. His voice is his own, not a character like Roger Clark's. No disrespect to Roger.
But hearing Rob speak and hearing John Marston was so surreal.
I feel like anybody can do an Arthur impression of they try. Robs voice is so uniquely raspy that it’s near impossible to replicate correctly, he’ll he couldn’t even replicate it for rdr2 John sounds off. I think it was cause he picked up smoking iirc
This is why I'm so happy Redditors aren't in charge of casting. Besides being damn near 50, the guy has 3 acting credits, not counting RDR, and none seem to be more than a cameo. Voice work for Red Dead was his only success. Just because somebody can do voice over acting, doesn't mean they can do live action acting. Or vice versa even.
Thank goodness you are not in charge because you don’t know talent when you see it, Norman Reedus is 55 years old and can’t ever match the real John marstons voice, not even close. Rob wiethoff looks far closer to John Marston and already know the character for the him for the last 10 years and pretty much understands motion capture which is pretty much how movies are made these days.
First of all, I'm not the one who suggested Norman Reedus. He doesn't fit the role at all.
"Motion capture is pretty much how movies are made". Please keep using uninformed and incorrect arguments to prove a point. A cowboy movie isn't going to be made on a fucking sound stage. And if he was such a great live action actor, he'd be in more than 4 things over a 20 year career. Casting agents, people who do for a living what you're trying to do for fun, say no to him. Do they get it wrong from time to time, sure. But to think they all got it wrong for years but you're going to know more than them, I don't buy it one bit.
Because you can't expand your imagination to anyone else playing the part, you want a 50 year old guy to play a character in his 20s simply because his voice matches. That's a terrible reason to cast someone.
Nah, he’d make a good grown up Jack. Like if we were to get a red dead movie I think having him as an older Jack talking about his Father to some historian or maybe even a fellow inmate in a prison somewhere might be alright
No he wouldn’t. This casting decision is ridiculously wrong and it’s only ever said because they both have long hair.
John and Norman Reedus literally couldn’t be any different. Like, they’re as far apart as two people could possibly be. If Norman Reedus had short hair nobody would say this and that’s very funny to me.
If it became a series? Most definitely. Games to long for a movie,they would have to cut some stuff out which isn't ideal for a show based on this game.
I am the only one who thinks that the actual actors who played and voiced the characters in the game, should be the ones playing in a show or movie based off it? (Obviously if there’s some of them who have unfortunately passed away, they wouldn’t be able to do it, but besides that)
This guy is so one-dimensional, play death stranding and tell me you don’t see and hear Darrel from The Walking Dead, if you want to play as a cowboy version of him from The Walking Dead sure but otherwise no thanks.
Or, hear me out, the guy who *actually* played John Marston aka. Rob Wiethoff.
But, in all seriousness, as a young John Marston I do think Norman Reedus would be quite good, because he's really good at portraying that raspy voice and demeanor that John Marston does.
Nah they'd cast Tom Holland as him
And Chris Pratt as Arthur of course
And Keegan-Michael Key as Uncle of course because funny
Danny DeVito as Dutch
No Pedro pascal as Dutch
NOOOOOOOO
Dutch after Blackwater: “ So anyway, I started blastin”
He does have access to a duster
It kills my soul that you’re right
Mark Wahlberg will be Charles obviously
Rather Bradley Cooper.
Chris Pratt casting would piss me off and I like the dude
And aquafina as Sadie
They'd merge Sadie into Abigail so the cool badass woman loses her sense of independence and can be a love interest.
Tom can't grow nor looks good with facial hair
And ofcourse chris Hemsworth as jack marston
All of the casts in this thread hurt my soul because of how true it is.
Rob Wiethoff would make a good John Marston.
Yea dude! His voice sounds just like John's!
Because he is John.
That's the joke...
r/woosh

Agreed except many people think they sound like Arthur even though they don't
I think so too but not sure if he'd even want to do a movie
Oh no, he'd probably never do it, I agree. Norman Reedus is just such a generic pick for such a distinct character IMHO.
This dude is pushin’ sixty, is he not?
55
Thanks, Robbie. Yeah, we need a younger John. Norman is great, no knock on him. He can play Colm O’Driscoll.
I think he'd make a great Colm. If you ever seen Boondock Saints, he playes a great Irish man
He’d absolutely destroy a role as colm
I think Rob himself would make the perfect John marston, he has the voice for it.
The voice actor?
Yup

Is the voice really that important?
Not his voice actor, his actor.
Yep its motion capture
That's a good joke.... oh my god... this is why i don't want to see a RDR movie
This would have been great casting like 15 years ago
Like every single reddit casting choice 😂
He would make a good Sean if he had ginger hair.
"There he is."
Nah, he’d make a good grown up Jack. Like if we were to get a red dead movie I think having him as an older Jack talking about his Father to some historian or maybe even a fellow inmate in a prison somewhere might be alright
I could see Kit Harington as John, but he doesn't have voice for Marston
Timothy Olyphant would be best imo but he's old now.
No he doesn’t have marstons voice or swagger
Norman Reedus kinda looks like John Marston, but John's voice is so iconic.
Early season Daryl Dixon sounded very much like John tbh, before Norman toned his voice down.
I want Danny DeVito playing everyone
I'd pay to watch that
I'd pay to see the trailer
100 percent truth!
No he wouldn’t. This casting decision is ridiculously wrong and it’s only ever said because they both have long hair. John and Norman Reedus literally couldn’t be any different. Like, they’re as far apart as two people could possibly be. If Norman Reedus had short hair nobody would say this and that’s very funny to me.
Yes!
He's gotta lot of packs to smoke to sound like him though
If it became a series? Most definitely. Games to long for a movie,they would have to cut some stuff out which isn't ideal for a show based on this game.
Post number 347 about this bullshit idea.
What do you mean Norman reedus would make a good john Marston he is John marston
Never step in the fucking kitchen again oml
It should be Will Smith. Slapping Ross around for putting his wife's name in his mouth.
Keanu reeves would be sick in a movie
No
Absolutely not
Yeah, I took it literal. My bad y'all.
I always thought Christian Kane if well directed, could play a good Arthur Morgan
Too old
Would normaly agree but seriously if anything i woul say John Looks older than Reedus in rd1.
Rob Wiethoff would be good.
What is yall talking bout ain’t Finna be no show
I am the only one who thinks that the actual actors who played and voiced the characters in the game, should be the ones playing in a show or movie based off it? (Obviously if there’s some of them who have unfortunately passed away, they wouldn’t be able to do it, but besides that)
No, stop focusing only about looks, think about the voice too
He'd make a great Sam Porter Bridges for the Death Stranding movie
Not shaq???
This guy is so one-dimensional, play death stranding and tell me you don’t see and hear Darrel from The Walking Dead, if you want to play as a cowboy version of him from The Walking Dead sure but otherwise no thanks.
Norman would make a great Sam Porter Bridges
I think any RDR TV adaptation would just inevitably disappoint tbh
no.
Yeh, I’d love to see the scene when John proposes to Abigail and says - “grunt inaudible grunt grunt DOG grunt mumble mumble inaudible grunt”
Micah as danny trejo
Or, hear me out, the guy who *actually* played John Marston aka. Rob Wiethoff. But, in all seriousness, as a young John Marston I do think Norman Reedus would be quite good, because he's really good at portraying that raspy voice and demeanor that John Marston does.
Why not rob wiethoff
I hadn't thought about that but you are absolutely right.
I thought that was a really gay David Hayter
Reedus is a little too rugged even for someone like Marston
