Walking Dead actor Stephen Ogg hates Trevor-GTA 5

It has been flying around the internet a lot recently about what Stephen Ogg thinks about his Grand Theft Auto 5 character Trevor.

Despite playing other characters like Simon in The Walking Dead who share traits with Trevor, Steven Ogg seems to not want to be known for his video game role.

Both Shawn Fonteno who voiced Franklin and Ned Luke who voiced Michael have given their side on Dan Allen Gaming.

Trevor hates himself

Shawn Fonteno said: “Steven wants to be recognised as Steven Ogg, he don’t want you coming up calling him Trevor.”

“It is shitty to me, he was nobody before he was a little actor, I mean he was somebody but not who he is today, he did plays and he did his thang, but this thing put him on a pedestal so high afterwards.”

“Trevor is a fucking iconic character, a protagonist, Trevor is unique he’s the king of hillbillys”

“I don’t wanna waste my interview talking about him man.”

Embrace it

Ned Luke said: “He had a few acting credits but he’s turning it up right now, he doesn’t like being called Trevor.”

“He wants to be recognised for his other work not GTA 5, he’s not a gamer, he says it’s a cartoon.”

“His work in it is fantastic you know. I don’t think he should poopoo anything he’s done.”

“I don’t talk to him about it, if he hates that he did it that’s fine, if he loves that he did it that’s fine.”

“If you wanna come and say your Michael, aren’t you or your Franklin, right? We embrace that.”

Wade through

All of this started when a GTA YouTuber called Hugo One paid $140 on Cameo to record a message as Trevor for the new GTA 6 characters. It did not go down too well with Stephen Ogg who said this in his reply.

Stephen Ogg said: “He [Hugo One] wanted me to give you this message from Trevor. Which, of course, I’m not Trevor. My name is Steven. And I am an actor. So, I get it, in a sense, and I don’t get it in a big sense as well. As actors you portray different characters and it would be literally impossible for me to be a cartoon. I can’t be… I need to get that off my chest. I just sometimes don’t f*****g understand. I get it and I don’t get it, right.”

“Hugo wanted to make sure that both of you are careful in Vice City,” Ogg continues. “I don’t know what that is. I think it’s maybe part of the GTA thing. But anyway it’s dangerous out there. Watch out for the cops in Port Gellhorn – I don’t understand that reference. And I’ll see you out there, because I’m a cartoon, right? Because none of it’s real. What a f*****g world.”

What a f*****g world indeed.
