Does GTA 5 Trevor Actor Steven Ogg Hate This Role? Here Is His Answer

Acclaimed Canadian actor Steven Ogg is best known for portraying Trevor Philips in GTA 5 and Simon in The Walking Dead. While he has many other excellent works, his name is often associated with Trevor. But there has always been some speculation among GTA fans saying that he doesn’t like Trevor. 

In the recent episode of the Inside of You podcast, Ogg has finally addressed ongoing speculation about his relationship with the role (starting from around the 27-minute mark). Talking about some of the comments, which say, “He hates Trevor, he hates GTA, don’t call him Trevor, he’ll freak out,” he straightforwardly noted that he does not hate Trevor or the GTA series, while admitting that he doesn’t like being called by the character’s name instead of his own name. “When people call you by your character name, it’s kinda weird because I kinda get it, but I’m also like meh.” 

Not only does he not hate the role, but he also says that the character is actually “great” and “awesome.” Ogg emphasized that he has always been grateful for the opportunity to bring Trevor to life. Meanwhile, he’s been friends with Shawn Fonteno and Ned Luke, who portrayed Franklin and Michael in GTA 5. “We were just doing a Comic Con this past weekend.” He further said those comments that say he hates Trevor actually didn’t bother him.

While Ogg has been well known for his contribution to GTA V, it’s confirmed that he will not be involved in the upcoming GTA 6. A few days ago, Steven Ogg said he actually wouldn’t mind a little cameo, even just to be killed off.
