Steven Ogg on Trevor Philips GTA 5 Grand Theft Auto V

[@SlurpyPie]

It's a shame how he doesn't see his performance as Trevor the same way we did when we first played nowadays. He did an amazing job on GTA V and has immortalized such an iconic character.

[@alexgallardo6257]

ICONIC, you say it right man

[@DaviFerreira-jc2ml]

that's the problem, he can't get rid of this Trevor image

[@SlurpyPie]

@@DaviFerreira-jc2ml I can understand that angle considering he wants to branch out and not just be known as Trevor that's fair but I was mostly talking about how he sees the character in general where he refers to Trevor as a cartoon despite the fact there's so much more to the character and how his performance enhanced and strengthened the character of Trevor that's all

[@dcworld4349]

@@SlurpyPie Wanting to be known for more is understandable, but it's so silly when people get mad about the role that made them famous and the reason for why they have had success afterwards. Take Alan Ritchson he had a few roles that he was known for, but now with Reacher he's getting more offers than he could do in a life time. Imagine if he said either "why should I take the roles when you didn't think I was good enough before you saw me in Reacher" or "I don't want Reacher to be the role I'm most known for." Should he end up playing this for 6-7 seasons it will be the thing he's going to be the most known for, and it would be silly for him to think otherwise. Your most famous role is something you don't really get to pick, when Daniel Craig dies, it will say Bond. David Tennant who has done so much varied work for the past 15 years, he's the sort of actor who has practically played it all. From a kindhearted down on his luck poor man to one of the most despicable psychopath put to screen. And he didn't need to return to Doctor Who to keep being relevant, it was the other way around with the show needing him. And he understands no matter what he does for the rest of his life, even if he never puts on the suit again for another special. People will ask him about Doctor who, and it will be the first thing that is written about him. And the thing about actors who ends up playing such iconic roles that really cements them in your mind. There is the bad version of that where they end up playing that same character over and over, often because the money they get offered to do so is too good for them to turn down. Becoming a sad parody of themselves once they get too old to do the stunts and don't look like they used to. The good version and Ogg has potential to be a great character actor who seems like he always has an edge to him. And lots of actors have a good career doing character actor work where they bring the exact energy needed for the story that is being told and you hire them because of that energy. Or the third path they use that role to make people smile when they come on screen and then really amaze you with the depth of talent they have when they do something that is so different than what you know them for. I'm sure he could find an indie movie to play against type if he really wanted to.

[@Gormit]

I love how he talks about his work as a cartoon gig cause Rockstar Games has always been trying to prove that games could reach the level of movies in term of story telling but Steven doesn’t seem to take credit from his work and would rather move on. From a Rockstar Games point of view, i think this is the ideal type of voice actor you want to work with, the man killed the part, is now known as Trevor Phillips around the world (which can be quite exhausting i assume) and he doesn’t seem to care a single bit about the future of the franchise. I think people give him too much shit for not being involved with the community mainly because Ned and Solo are much closer than him with the fans so everyone’s wondering why the craziest GTA character is so distant with its role. For me, this man comes across as a class act and a very professional actor. I gotta respect Mr Ogg.

Both share that mindset, but the difference is that Liotta was an actually big star, where Mr. Ogg here will always be known for being Trevor and him not accepting that/realizing/appreciating that is awful for him, his fans and his career.

I personally liked San Andreas and IV more. SA for the stuff that it's in the game and IV for the story.

[@CrustedPork]

Funniest part? I have NEVER touched GTA 5. The online always turned me way off. The moment I saw "BANS FOR MONEY EXPLOITING" in my crime sim game, I just said no thanks. I know it's online and for "fairness" but if that was really the case, they wouldn't sell in game money themselves for real money. Because you know, not everyone has expendable funds to spend on video game currency on top of the game price. So for "fairness" that shouldn't exist either. So whenever they patch out exploits like that, you know it's only because it hurts THEM, not anyone else. And so stuff like that especially in the type of game this is supposed to be, made me never touch it. And realistically no one is really playing GTA anymore, they are playing mods on top of mods of the game and RP'ing. We're basically just using it's corpse to make our own fun, if that wasn't allowed it would've been dead long ago. Hopefully 6 will still allow modding, but I think we're reaching that point now. That very soon, they won't allow modding of the game at all.

how can an actor not get how people are amazed by a game performance when its as much or more acting work than a show its still a character

[@CrustedPork]

Are you high? As much OR MORE as actual acting? Actual acting requires the voice AND body/facial emotions. Voice acting just needs to sound like the right emotions. It's still hard work, obviously. But comparing the two together is absurd lol. Regular acting is by default also voice acting. You need to convey all emotions physically AND verbally. While voice acting you just need the verbal. It's legitimately half. You can walk into the studio in boxers, hung over, smoking 15 joints and nail a voice acting gig you had lined up. Because your appearance or what your doing means nothing unless someone can HEAR it. A lot more relaxed I'd say.

He's done other jobs, roles he himself probably regards higher than his role as Trevor, but most people just still see him as Trevor. Not even as the actor Steven Ogg, just as the character Trevor.

@Rude_Boi as he states on his page, asker for birthdays or Valentines or whatever. The site it to reach out to your favorite celebs. Not to puppeteer them. Some will gladly do it, sure. But its not exactly crazy to think that others prefer to talk to you on a human basis.

[@ChilliCheezdog]

I'm not a gamer. I know nothing about Trevor but I loved Steven in Better Call Saul and Walking Dead. His on-screen charisma is off the charts.

[@vitormachado4877]

I liked your profile picture. This is an interesting band

He was getting tired of the Trevor shit here, you can tell 😂😂😂

[@SoAaron_]

Yeah, you can tell he's trying to be nice tho

[@Mk_Otaid]

Judging from a bunch of interviews and a more recent podcast I watched of him, seems like an eccentric character. He is pretty cool, legit, respectful and honest. But there are some points where he seems to have complexes with his image and how video games are essentially an inferior form of art, if even that. To me it looks like he is intentionally in denial, because he hates the fact that people are so quick to associate him with a crazy type of character and what makes it worse is that being exactly that, HAS been his most successful role to date. He isn't stupid, you can tell he firmly uses the word "cartoon" to effectively disassociate himself from something he doesn't take seriously and doesn't want to be remembered as. I think a large part of of the problem here is how gaming was viewed and talked about as he grew up. He most likely finds it to be a waste of time, hence why he will never take it seriously. That's why his relationship with Trevor is so complicated, he struggles to find this medium worthwhile and has to force himself to not say anything demeaning about it.

[@FrankByDaylight]

Its a shame this didnt stick with Steven... His seems open minded about it. But i guess after 10 years of being asked the same questions, about the same character thats a literal murdering psychopath... Its bound to make anyone hate it. Its the same way some people simply hate GTA now since its been so mainstream for so long. And the re-releases

[@sethzwicker3631]

Cast him as the Joker. He's kill it.

[@dentureadventure1490]

dude claims he wish he would have never took the role in GTA.

[@SoAaron_]

I feel like he auditioned thinking it would just be another small video game role, have fun with the motion capture, he probably didn't expect it to be massive and still relevant all these years later.

[@nathanmcdonald610]

Not to say he's a bad actor, he's not, everything else I've seen him in he does fine. But he would not have near the recognition he has today and probably would not have landed some of the roles he did post GTA V had he not taken on the role of Trevor.

[@johngotti4286]

Dude doesn’t understand It’s not just any other video game… it is in THE top 5 of most profitable/most sold games in history! And everybody has played video games in their life at one time or another, it’s 2024 cmon man!

[@Palpus_X]

I'd be scared sitting in front of the guy. Always thinking he'd stab me any minute now

[@ThisHorrorFilmDoesNotExist]

You can see in his eyes how sick he is of that question ("Did you know it would be this big," basically).

[@PonTik]

Actually no. Off camera he told me almost all questions were new to him, including this one. We were the last interviewers, and yes he was tired, but not of the questions. You guessed wrong.

[@mikeL65000]

GTA V is one of my favorite games of all time. But i think if it as a movie. If it were a movie, Trevor's performance should have won an academy award!!!

[@NESTBonecrusher2003-r5s]

I think Steven is a really good actor, it’s a shame he doesn’t care for his role or the game, but either way I loved his performance and Trevor is my favorite character in GTA 5.

[@StevenGarnsky]

Here it is 2023 and gta v is still fn huge. It's the only game my nephew plays ever since it came out. Hard to believe he's not tired of it yet. I get that gta v online keeps getting updates, etc, but the game overall has pretty much been the same for 10 years now.

[@jeremylkm1015]

Because I'm a Cartoon!

[@shadowblade9385]

I think what Steven Ogg is wondering now is how do you move on with your career when you're only known for one thing?

[@glenn_lefer7767]

That was a really good response

[@kansascityshuffle8526]

Probably one of the most recognizable GTA personalities next to maybe Arthur Morgan. And he doesn’t even play video games. Very good moment.

[@spikepsych]

arthur morgan is a GTA personality are you on crack

[@ryebread105]

I like Steven Ogg. He seems like such a down to earth guy and it would be nice to see him more in the spotlight.

[@1Chasg]

Have you seen any of his social media or cameos? Lol. Seems very odd. He also hates being known as Trevor. Sees it as just a silly "cartoon".

[@francskgp]

Not at all.

[@Zanoladab]

​@@1Chasg I don't think he hates being known as Trevor as much as ONLY being known as Trevor

[@J.PC.Designs]

@@Zanoladab I mean as good as the character is, can you blame him? 90% of people who played GTA story mode literally think Trevor is his real name.

[@gamesps9562]

​@@1ChasgWell, it is a silly cartoon character. Interactive 3D cartoon character, basically.

[@Th4t-Ai-Guy]

Props to steven for waiting for the interviewer to finish a sentence.

[@daleva187goligo]

he got lucky in a sense with the timing, before gta 5 gta games were all pretty much standalones, and there was another one right around the corner, but with gta online and its success rockstar got lazy and stopped making games, just dlc, and now 10 years later gta 5 is the last gta game so people are still playing it and his character and it's still in the consciousness... had he been in gta 4 or either of it's spinoffs he would not be as recognized

[@pawvarkila2034]

When i first saw him as simon in the walking dead, and then heard is voice, i was like:. Is he the voice behind trevor? Yes!! At some piont this guy would go full on trevor, on someone in this show

[@apietsoedarno7309]

This guy sounds like Trevor

[@CodyEwok]

Steven Ogg is iconic to me himself. seems like a cool ass dude!

[@blprom]

"Trevor" didn't make Steven Ogg. Steven Ogg MADE "Trevor'

[@Rude_Boi]

Did Steven Ogg give Trevor an acting career, or did Trevor give Steven Ogg one?

[@kushologist_420]

What's funny is Trevor wouldn't like video games either😂 ironic

[@copenhagen_chip]

guy was just perfect for that role
