A Reddit user reported that Jim Santangeli, who played Pearson in Red Dead Redemption 2, said on TikTok LIVE he did some cool stuff in Grand Theft Auto VI.

Jim Santangeli, the actor who played the gang cook Pearson in Red Dead Redemption 2, may appear in Grand Theft Auto VI. The claim originates from a Reddit post by user AdviceWarm2500, who said Santangeli stated on TikTok LIVE that he did some cool stuff in GTA6. A recording of the live stream exists, though the exact moment of the statement is not clipped; a viewer comment shortly after reads, Wait, you're doing a cameo in GTA6? That's awesome. AdviceWarm2500 noted the statement could be a joke, and the truth is unclear. Another Reddit user pointed out that Rockstar Games often rehires actors it has worked with before, so a cameo would not be surprising. GTA6 is scheduled for release on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
