🤠 Red Dead Redemption 2 Actors Surprise University Class Using Game for American History Lessons 📚
Imagine being the kid who didn't attend class that day
Red Dead Redemption 2 actors Arthur Morgan and John Marston crashed a university class to learn about American history using the cowboy game’s open-world.
Introduction 🎮🤠
In a surprising twist of events, a university class using the popular game Red Dead Redemption 2 to learn about American history got an unexpected visit from two very familiar cowboys. The class, creatively titled “Red Dead America,” is taught by Tore Olsson, a history professor at the University of Tennessee. Olsson decided to make the final lesson before spring break extra special by inviting none other than Roger Clark, the actor who plays Arthur Morgan, and Rob Wiethoff, known as John Marston in the game.
The Surprise Visit 🎉
The students, completely unaware of the surprise in store for them, were left both delighted and shocked as Clark and Wiethoff sauntered into the classroom. The whole moment was captured and shared on Twitter by Professor Olsson, causing quite a stir among gaming and history enthusiasts alike. You can check out the video of the visit here.
Students’ reactions to the surprise visit.
Gaming as a Learning Tool 🎓
Both Clark and Wiethoff expressed their excitement and honor at seeing their work being used in such an innovative and educational way. “To see what we worked on be interpreted in this way academically is a real honor, and the fact that it’s making history accessible to new audiences is something that we never really anticipated,” says Clark. Wiethoff jokingly added, “We’re professors now, too, which is really cool.”
Professor Olsson, who is clearly passionate about combining gaming and history, has even written a book called “Red Dead’s History.” This book, just like his class, dives deep into America’s history through the lens of Rockstar Games’ Wild West. To make the experience even more immersive, the audiobook version is narrated by Clark himself, allowing you to feel like you’re actually getting a history lesson from Arthur Morgan.
