Dog Actor Who Played Cain in Red Dead Redemption 2 Has Passed Away
The dog actor Einstein, whose motion capture performance was responsible for bringing to life companion Cain from Rockstar Studios' Red Dead Redemption 2, has passed away.
“Einstein was truly one of a kind. From the moment we met, we formed a deep bond, and it was clear that we were destined for countless adventures together,” wrote Einstein’s owner Jason Barnes in a touching Instagram tribute announcing his friend’s passing. “You possessed an uncanny intelligence, earning you the name Einstein; even if, at times, the name felt like a joke.”
Players are introduced to Cain in Red Dead Redemption 2 soon after the Van der Linde gang sets up camp at Clemens Point, at which point the former stray wanders his way into the motly gathering. In a brief cutscene, Dutch allows John Marston’s son Jack to keep the dog, who later goes missing under mysterious and unpleasant circumstances after the gang moves their camp to Beaver Hollow.
Rest in peace to the goodest boah Einstein, motion capture performer for Cain, the stray dog that found a home in the gang's camp at Clemons Point. Arthur makes a small sketch of him in his journal, and he can be found in game's credits
