Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Gustave actor Charlie Cox, when he isn't being the superhero Daredevil at his day job, seems to moonlight as the guardian angel of video game performers. After recently being nominated for Best Performance at the upcoming Game Awards, Cox chose to instead publicly credit Gustave performance capture actor Maxence Cazorla for the character's impact – and an increasing number of industry alumni are agreeing with his choice, including Arthur Morgan himself.

Hanging up his snow-beaten cowboy hat for a moment, Red Dead Redemption 2 star Roger Clark reacts to the situation on Twitter, saying, "This is gracious of Cox and it helps shed light on some of the very specific challenges of video game performances."

Clark explains, "Some studios/games can have multiple performers depict one character. You could feasibly have multiple voice actors, mo-cap actors and stunt performers (don’t forget the face model) depict 1 character!

"Oftentimes in isolation from one another. Don’t even get me started on the animators and designers, it takes a village to be sure. Crazy stuff." He wonders, "In light of this, do you think when multiple artists bring a nominated performance to life should all of them be recognized?"

Well, why not? Expedition 33 voice actor and Maelle actor Jennifer English's supportive girlfriend Aliona Baranova – once a Baldur Gate 3 mocap director while working for PitStop Productions – is certainly in favor, saying on Twitter, "Yup, i think we should have a motion capture category at awards shows." You know, for those who come after, and those who did their stunts.
