Steven Ogg: The Man Behind Trevor in GTA 5

Steven Ogg, the voice behind the notorious Trevor in Grand Theft Auto V, seems unimpressed by the upcoming GTA 6. Surprisingly, the talented actor has never played GTA 5—or any video game, for that matter—and expressed a stark indifference towards the highly anticipated sequel.

Unexcited for GTA 6

When asked about his excitement for GTA 6, Ogg stated bluntly, "I feel nothing inside. I'm not a gamer. I feel absolutely nothing about GTA 6." His unexpected lack of enthusiasm for the game has sparked intrigue, especially among fans eager for news.

Words of Wisdom: Read Instead!

Instead of gaming, Ogg finds solace in literature and even recommends diving into Fyodor Dostoevsky's classic, *Crime and Punishment*. He humorously recalled a conversation with a fan: "Someone said, 'At some point, you should play GTA 5.' I responded, 'Why? You should read Dostoevsky's *Crime and Punishment*.' They were left speechless! Books are my thing." This perspective shows a different kind of passion that's rarely seen in the gaming world.

A Brief Stint with Gaming

Though Ogg is synonymous with GTA 5, he’s confessed to struggling with games. He once attempted to play but kept crashing into walls with his character, leading him to abandon the gaming world entirely.

Missed Opportunities and Future Hopes

Interestingly, Ogg was once set to record lines for a James Bond-inspired DLC for GTA 5, where Trevor would have gone undercover. However, this project was scrapped in favor of the immensely popular GTA Online. Despite this, he hopes to see Trevor return in GTA 6—where he'd relish the chance for the character to meet his demise.

Ogg's Notable Career Beyond Gaming

Beyond his video game fame, Ogg is also recognized for his role as Simon in *The Walking Dead* and for appearances in *Snowpiercer* and *Better Call Saul*. His quirky performances have even made him a memorable face in the absurd Old Spice commercials.

What Lies Ahead for GTA 6?

Mark your calendars: GTA 6 is set to launch in May 2026 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, officially introducing players to new protagonists, Jason and Lucia, although their respective actors remain undisclosed. Stay tuned to see how this highly anticipated installment unfolds!
