Clarence LeRoy "Lee" Van Cleef Jr. (January 9, 1925 – December 16, 1989) was an American actor best known for his roles in Spaghetti Westerns such as For A Few Dollars More and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Hatchet-faced with piercing eyes, he had declined to have his nose altered to play a sympathetic character in his film debut, High Noon, and was relegated to a non-speaking outlaw as a result. For a decade he was typecast as a minor villain, his sinister features overshadowing his acting skills. After suffering serious injuries in a car crash, Van Cleef began to lose interest in his apparently waning career by the time Sergio Leone gave him a major role in For a Few Dollars More. The film made him a box-office draw, especially in Europe. Despite suffering from heart disease from the late 1970s and having a pacemaker installed in the early 1980s, Van Cleef continued to work in films until his death on December 16, 1989, at age 64. He was buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery, Hollywood Hills, California, with an inscription on his grave marker referring to his many acting performances as a villain: "BEST OF THE BAD".

Set in 1899, Red Dead Redemption II follows Arthur Morgan, a veteran outlaw and loyal member of Dutch van der Linde's gang. After a failed robbery forces the gang to flee into the wilderness, they struggle to survive while lawmen, bounty hunters, and rival gangs close in around them. As Dutch's dream of freedom begins to collapse, Arthur finds himself caught between loyalty to his gang and his growing doubts about Dutch's increasingly desperate decisions. The gang moves from one hideout to another across the American frontier, committing robberies and facing betrayal, loss, and the changing world around them. Arthur's relationship with John Marston and the other members of the gang becomes increasingly important as he begins to question the life he has chosen. As Dutch becomes more unpredictable and the gang falls apart, Arthur must confront his own past and decide what truly matters to him. Red Dead Redemption II is a story of loyalty, betrayal, friendship, survival, and redemption, reimagined here as a classic 1960s Western film.
