Clarifying Rumors: GTA 5 Actor Steven Ogg on His Character

There has been speculation about Steven Ogg, the actor who portrayed Trevor in GTA 5, disliking his character. In an interview on the Inside You podcast, Ogg dispelled these rumors, stating that he doesn't mind playing Trevor but finds it odd when fans call him by his character's name. "When people call you by your character name, it's kinda weird because I kinda get it, but I'm also like meh," Ogg explained. He praised Trevor as "a great character" and mentioned his ongoing friendship with his co-stars Shawn Fonteno (Franklin) and Ned Luke (Michael), with whom he recently attended a Comic Con.

In a previous interview with Screen Rant, Ogg humorously suggested Trevor could appear in GTA 6 only to be killed off early in the game. However, he clarified that he hasn't recorded any lines for GTA 6 and is unaware of any plans for Trevor's return.

GTA 6 is expected to launch in Fall 2025, though no specific release date has been officially announced. Stay updated with the latest news on GTA 6 by visiting our dedicated page.
