Red Dead Redemption 2: 10 Iconic Western Characters You Must Create

2. Matt Dillon

Not the New York born star of There’s Something About Mary, Crash and You, Me & Dupree (although it would be pretty awesome to see him running around in Red Dead Online). Although the Oscar nominated actor is definitely the most famous Matt Dillon now, it wasn’t always that way.

Matt Dillon was also the protagonist of Gunsmoke, a long running TV series which began in the 1950s. So long running that up until 2018 when The Simpsons’ 636th episode aired, it was the longest running TV show of all time.

It seems that despite this longevity, it hasn’t had even close to the cultural impact of The Simpsons. However, you can certainly rectify this in your own small way by playing as Matt Dillon.

This is another one you can play offline too, especially during Arthur’s stint as Sheriff. The buckskin vest, pink high collar shirt, Panama hat and grey jeans should see you right, topped off by short hair with pomade and a clean shave.

Alternatively, go for medium length black hair, clean shave and leather everything and see if you can pass for the actor Dillon.
