Giancarlo Esposita said it best "People come up to me and say I'm Gus (Breaking bad) but I'm an actor my name is Giancarlo but I will ALWAYS be there for my fans" and he then proceeds to act as Gustavo for the fans. He loves and appreciates his fans because he knows that the fans are what makes him succeed as an actor.

[@RoleAce]

Real shit, i read somewhere that he was considering to un alive himself bc he couldn't provide (no income) for his family. Then he auditioned for breaking bad and the rest is history. Edit : He was thinking to do that since he had/was going to start life insurance policy and the payout would help his family.

That’s what I don’t get with people who do the opposite. Acting is hard, it takes talent and skill but I think the amount of money it pays is absolutely not equal to the effort. That’s not to say they don’t deserve it, but Jesus they should just be thankful they have the chance to make bank off of something that people will universally like you for. I cannot imagine being in such a position of clouded vision to be angry that my role was successful and people recognize me for it.

[@neilpatrickhairless]

Pigeonholing people has killed more in Hollywood than guns or drugs ever will

[@themediageekproductions5629]

I think one of the big problems with distancing himself from his character is that Trevor was physically designed after him, all of the GTA V protagonists were designed after there voice actors. So it’s kind of hard to not be Trevor when not only do you sound like him, but you also look like him.

[@VoidOneGamer]

Ogg is also kinda typecast, a lot of his roles are in a similar vein to Trevor. At least tbe ones he's known for. And it's not like he's had anything near as successful as GTAV. So I'm sure he's resentful of that.

[@Vegas2332]

I think he would've gotten waaay less backlash if he didn't act like such a dick about it all. It's fine not being all hyped up when someone calls you by the name of a role you've played, but he acts like his fans are mentally not all there if they bring up his GTA role. Coming across like he's above acting in "cartoons" after what he'd describe as one built his career. Also just a dick move to set up a cameo after GTA 5 dropped, and take money from fans of that series. While basically calling them stupid for not being able to differentiate reality from a cartoon, and acting surprised people are asking about objectively the biggest role of his career. There's more tactful ways to go about saying he wants to be taken seriously as an actor, and not be attached to a single role from his career. Could've just started the cameos with a preamble about his feelings on the role before doing the Trevor stuff, or something. Reminds me of Rain Wilson, and his role as Dwight Shrute. He was still nice to fans of The Office, but voiced in interviews that he doesn't like being solely recognized for being Dwight. He's since somewhat gone back on that attitude, and I think that started with him understanding how impactful that role was for his career and fans of the show. He's cool with it, because he knows that role was important to his fans, even if it isn't his most proud work. Steve is missing that entire outlook, and on top of that, he has a crappy attitude towards anything that has to do with his role as Trevor. I think people understand the logic behind his attitude, but Steve is too much of an a-hole about it all for people to sympathize with him like Office fans have with Rain Wilson.

My biggest gripe with Steven Ogg is he said “I’m a actor” while basically dismissing a entire form of acting because the characters aren’t “real” as if any other character he’s played were more “real” just because they’re live action, his tv and movie characters are just as not real as Trevor but he still made them all real for the audience through the artform of acting just because Trevor is a animated character doesn’t make him a less real or less meaningful character than any other he’s played

I don't get why he's so salty about it but I understand how being typecast can limit your roles going forward. Unless Trever comes back in GTA6 for a cameo, his gigs are probably limited.

I think the issue here is that Ogg doesn't take video games as seriously as tv shows and movies. To him, games are cartoons and not worth the recognition, while live action performances should be recognized. It's an old-school mentality that used to be really huge back then. We saw it with Ray Liotta, who didn't understand nor care for his performance as Tommy Vercetti because it's a video game. All in all, I don't think he despises the performance that he did. He just doesn't understand it nor care for it the same way he understands and cares for his other acting roles. But, if he's hell-bent on not caring for it, he should at least make the effort to understand it. To see why this performance of his is so important to many. After all, it's what put him on the map.

[@ViolentMLG]

Its funny though, because, if he blew up off of Game Of Thrones, he'd probably love that, but since he blew up off of GTA, he has a problem with it. Meanwhile, people are still discussing GTA games decades after they came out. If there was a game I'd want to blow up off of, its GTA. Granted, I bet a part of his resentment is pay. I bet he was paid like trash and only after realized how much money he made Rockstar.

[@GTAVictor9128]

Another example is Andrzej Sapkowski - the creator of the Witcher universe. When he sold the IP rights to CDPR, he didn't expect the Witcher series to blow up so much in popularity. To this day he holds a dismissive attitude towards video games, yet privately felt bitter about underselling the IP rights.

[@charliekelly735]

Yeah I noticed that he doesn't seem to view video games as art. His whole "Trevor is a cartoon" defense really falls apart when you consider that he is essentially claiming that a large portion of acting (voice acting) is by extension less meaningful than IRL acting. Does he not realize that "cartoons" are art?

[@mijofalco6355]

@charliekelly735 Nah, he probably has that old-school mentality where cartoons are just like children's toys and thus a waste of time. Whereas live action tv shows and movies are real artistic works because they're tied to Hollywood blockbusters and showbusiness. Because that's a form of media that's been around for so long and represented by so many legendary cinematographers and celebrities, that it's been recognized by the mass media and publicities since forever. To him, that's what needs to be taken seriously. Not children's stuff. Even though, there's a plethora of cartoons and games out there that are definitely for adults and not children. That these forms of media have become just as big and important as live action media. But he clearly doesn't see nor understands that.

[@thunderwolf207summit5]

A lot of actors, older and younger than him have gotten to understand that videogames are as big as movies nowadays. Sometimes I wonder if it's a case of him not understanding that or not wanting to capitalize on it.

Him incessantly calling it a "cartoon" is clearly such a dig at the fans, trying to make it sound childish and stupid to recognize him for that. Rob Weithoff (actor of John Marston) has been SUPER vocal that he isn't a gamer and doesn't enjoy playing the games, but he's still there for his fans, embraces the positive attention his role has brought him, and is always happy to talk about whatever people want/pay him to.

Same goes for Hayden Christensen. In fact, Hayden really wasn't doing so much acting after Star Wars and being in it was kind of rough given how people reacted to hiss portrayal of Anakin. It wasn't until years later where the heat died down and especially with Obi-Wan Kenobi that he really started embracing it, especially since again, a lot of people are respecting him as Hayden Christensen and not just calling him Anakin. With Steven Ogg? It's so frustrating to do acting gigs and get more opportunities because of GTA and then to have people not just only bring up Trevor but continuously ask him to be Trevor, to treat him like he's Trevor when he's a real human being has gotta be unbelievably frustrating, especially since with GTA's fanbase being quite young, it skews incredibly obnoxious.

He has gone on record saying he's not a gamer but, its about how you handle that fame that came with you. As SWEGTA pointed out, Ogg didnt ride this fame really. If you know Henry Winkler, The Fonz himself, that roll got him eveyrthing, he always credits the Fonz for his career in Hollywood, which either in acting, writing, or directing. He says he never stops talking about the Fonz, he loves him and the fans. And Winkler is a really good actor, as is Ogg, but Ogg refuses to accept this game as part of him. And I get it too, some actors arent gamers, some actors don't want to be talked to or recognized, because, lets face it, some actors are WEIRD. We know this.

[@dudewelcome]

GTA V absolutely put Ogg on the radar, and arguably propelled him into stardom. He should be more grateful. I think you were super fair in saying that he should just say, respectfully, that he wants to distance himself from Trevor instead of making fans feel like assholes for appreciating his role

[@TheRavensHall]

I met Gerry at a show his band played last year. Super awesome experience! We chatted for a bit and he signed my ps2 copy of Bully. Awesome, genuine, down to earth dude

[@TanDawg58]

Simple answer, he acts like a complete D-Bag whenever someone brings up Trevor, the role that made him a household name and probably lead to him getting all those TV roles

[@ittybittyboat9017]

And he basically played the same character as Trevor in BCS and Walking Dead

[@Mysteryz-li2pw]

@@ittybittyboat9017Haven’t seen BCS but I actually think Simon is quite different from Trevor. Maybe a few similarities (obviously their appearance is the same) but Simon was different.

[@TheNightTyrant]

So what you're saying is he lives rent free in GTA fan's heads

[@mr.breadman4181]

​@@Mysteryz-li2pw yea no he legitimately acted like Trevor in BCS maybe not fully but definitely mostly

[@redtango9472]

I think Steven is trying to tell us he's a cartoon.

[@WhiteDieselShed]

I would have to ask him that, what is it like being a cartoon.

[@TSC777]

yet roger clark still fully embraces his role on being arthur morgan from RDR2

[@PandaBearJelly]

He really struggles with the concept of role-play for somone who makes his living role-playing. We know you're not a cartoon Steven.

[@repomansez]

I think we are approaching the day where killing Trevor actually becomes the canon ending

[@JukkaRamo]

I HATE TREEEEEEVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR😈

[@devinpaul9026]

Bring his ass back in 6, have him go out like Johnny K. It's only right. Hell, Johnny was a likeable character who's voice never notably pissed off the fans, so his ass would STILL be gettin' off easy!

[@TheAurelianProject]

This is nitpicky, but it annoys me how he calls Trevor a “cartoon” all the time. He’s not a cartoon, he’s CGI.

[@uncledaniel7799]

He is a model...

[@gabeitch9142]

I dont think hes talking about the medium. Trevor is a cartoon as in his character is a cartoon.

[@TheAurelianProject]

@@gabeitch9142 Yeah I guess I see what you mean.

[@gabeitch9142]

@@TheAurelianProject its still weird how he keeps saying that same word it makes it sound forced and like hes trying too hard.

[@TheeGreasyGamer]

@@gabeitch9142he’s definitely calling video games cartoons, he’s definitely saying it in a condescending way, to shit in anybody who plays video games

[@swiftuav3617]

15:37 is actually really, really sad and uncomfortable to watch knowing what Steven is probably thinking in that moment. The poor guy filming just wanted a cool special moment to cherish, maybe show his friends, and ogg is clearly just being a tool. Can't stand him anymore man.

[@SteveSauce420]

I hadnt seen that clip before and I think theres no excuse for him to talk to a fan like that. he should be blacklisted from the industry

[@mkbXD]

yk what i understood his position of not wanting to only be known as one character until i saw those cameos. taking fans' money to make videos like that is really dishonourable.

[@ItsCrap97]

Actors play characters for money, and he thinks he's better than big time famous actors and voice actors doing Cameos.

[@victorottosen3881]

ive always had an understanding for steven but i never knew he was so rude to the people who wanted a simple boost to their day or what not

[@flavioelgato5809]

Steven saying he aint Trevor is like Trevor saying he aint a hipster.

[@devon-aire]

Steven Ogg is still my favourite of the three. He’s Canadian, and a lot of his dialogue in GTA V is him referencing that. But he’s gone on record saying he didn’t think that this would be a “big thing” and he didn’t expect to be recognized for that. Also, I can’t help but feel this attitude almost plays into the Trevor character a little bit.

[@giobeatsmusic9095]

He wants nothing to do with Trevor, but the way he acts, is very Trevor like 😂

[@AdoreYouInAshXI]

Not really. He acts like some boomer California hipster liberal (I have no clue where he actually lives). If you watch his videos on Cameo (there are way more than what was shown here) he constantly talks about hating Trevor as a character because of how hateful and vulgar he is, and how the world just needs more love. Lol. Dude is about as far away from Trevor as possible.

[@rangerv1]

The cameo thing reminds me of when the Bayonetta voice actress just went on a rent instead of doing what she was paid to do

[@juanespin5527]

What she did?

[@-alif7188]

As in the VA for Bayonetta 3?

[@riatorex8722]

Didn't she basically just lie to everyone about not being paid enough? But she's kinda the reverse Steven Ogg in that she felt like she OWNED the role of Bayonetta

[@riatorex8722]

​@@-alif7188 The VA for Bayonetta 3 is Jennifer Hale, (female Shepard). If memory serves, fans unfairly gave her an ass-reaming when the original VA pretty much gaslighted the entire internet into thinking that she got paid too little for a role that became iconic thanks to her "talent", and that she *owned* the role and that Hale basically stole it from her. It was stupid

[@chrisprescott2273]

For someone who claims to not be a cartoon he sure does behave like one.

[@4587remi]

I think Ray Liotta felt the same way and only really saw it as a money making exercise. It's their prerogative I suppose, but they need to keep in mind it's the fans that put them there in the first place.

[@GreatGagsGaming]

I wonder if Steven's attitude is what got Trevor's Single Player DLC cancelled [Besides GTA Online being a cashcow] and Trevor going "missing" post Los Santos Drug War DLC...

[@Gibbypastrami]

Doubt it Maybe him going missing after Drug War because they ran out of voice lines to use and Ogg didn’t want to return anymore But the single player DLC was scrapped pretty soon after GTAO blew up, which was way before Drug War

[@GreatGagsGaming]

@@Gibbypastrami Yea, but he was still being a bit of a dihk to the fans around that time he would have being capturing and recording for the single player DLC too, so I am sure Rockstar would have noticed that. It makes me wonder if Rockstar did or said something to Steven behind closed doors that soured him on wanting to go back or work for the company again as well. Rockstar and TakeTwo's record with voice actors, specifically the ones that MADE their games what they are is... well "dogshyt" would be the accurate term. But in the end; who knows. I sure as shyt don't :]

[@Im2lazy4thisCrit]

I remember hearing the DLC being cancelled had to do with Take-Two. This is a game with 3 playable main characters. If one of them couldn’t make it for DPC, surely you’d still be able to make it with just the 2 other ones? Also this was before Steven started hating the whole Trevor thing, unless you’re saying Rockstar just didn’t want to work with him.

[@TeaInTheMorning-we2kh]

Single player dlcs were likely canceled because they could make more money for a fraction of the effort with the online stuff.

[@igodreamer7096]

Ned and Solo: They are characters, protagonists. It's great! Steven: It's a cartoon. Case closed, Your Honor. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@KeyMasterX]

In one way, I can fully understand Steven Ogg's frustration. It can become demoralizing if you get stuck being known for only one thing, and that thing is in a media that you have absolutely no interest in and don't believe is a big time thing. In another though, it was because of GTA V that people started to notice him in being able to play a specific type of character. Steve sadly couldn't accept that fact and it ultimately caused him to reject his claim to fame so hard that he's now villainizing himself with the fans that made Trevor his true breakout role. Without Trevor, Steve is just another actor who thinks he can do more than what he actually can.

[@Beth_0477]

its hard being a VA when you voiced a famous character as Trevor, hes obviously drained out and tired of only getting petitions and recognition from a game he does not even care about to the point where fans start harassing and dehumanize someone who is doing their job.

[@AJR-zg2py]

This is Steven's "I am not Spock!" phase, the exact same that Leonard Nimoy went through. Nimoy later embraced it - maybe Steven will one day look back on himself and think "man I was way too uptight back then" and ease off a little bit.

[@enigmatix6224]

ned luke : yep im michael! *fans initially calls him michael but starts to recognize him as ned luke* steven ogg : IM NOT TREVOR! *people continues to call him trevor*
