GTA V, despite releasing over a decade ago, still remains one of the best video games ever made. With an intense story and a vast open-world online mode, GTA V remains a fan favorite. The game’s characters are memorable and each of them has an arc that is solid enough to keep you engaged in the lanes of Los Santos. The actors behind these characters have become instantly recognizable thanks to the game’s iconic dialogues.

While most GTA V actors can’t stop talking about their characters when given the chance, one of them doesn’t share the enthusiasm for his GTA V avatar. In a recent interview, Ned Luke, the voice for GTA V’s Michael, revealed how Steven Ogg isn’t very fond of Trevor.

Why Steven Ogg does not like being called Trevor

Trevor Phillips has managed to create quite an impression among fans thanks to his character arc. Voiced by Canadian actor Steven Ogg, Trevor has been portrayed as a misogynist who doesn’t back away from owning up to his actions. Trevor, along with Franklin and Michael, has become an iconic character in the gaming community.

Luke stated that Steven “does not like being called Trevor“. While Trevor is undoubtedly a handful of a character, gamers should understand where Ogg comes from as he makes such remarks. As an actor, Ogg’s skills certainly go beyond the necessary skills required to portray Trevor. Luke reminds fans of this particular aspect repeatedly throughout the interview.

Steven Ogg’s range should be appreciated, Luke says

Ned said Ogg would much prefer that his fans remember him for his entire body of work, instead of his one role in a video game. Throughout his career, Ogg has managed to enthrall film lovers with his versatility and range, depicting hundreds of different characters. As a colleague in the same industry, Luke confesses to understanding why Ogg doesn’t want to be associated with a single role.

Ned Luke also reveals how they formed a close bond on the sets of GTA V and how their conversations weren’t restricted to Ogg being viewed as Trevor all the time. Luke expects their fans also to recognize Ogg’s talents and applaud him for his extensive passion for acting and films rather than viewing him as the voice for Trevor.
