I follow his instagram. Dude literally IS Trevor irl almost. Like I’m almost not even joking. It’s just odd that he hates people calling him Trevor when is the essence of Trevor.
It doesn't help that he was casted in The Walking Dead as Simon and in Better Call Saul....where he literally played the same psychopath character as Trevor.
It works for some actors. For example, Samuel Jackson pretty much always played either evil or morally grey characters, or Giancarlo Esposito always seems to play as cunning characters.
Dude has a right to not wanting to go back to a character but if someone paid a lot of money on Cameo for a simple request and choose not to and go on a weird rant and take the money anyway then you need to give your fans some ounce of respect.
I can understand why most GTA protagonist actors regret being in GTA since they get typecast. You can't really get any work when everyone is only going to know you for one thing, so I get not wanting to do the character. But if you're going to do that you should just refund the money. You're allowed to say no but when you agreed to a job it's your obligation to fulfill it
@@justanotheranimeprofilepic Actually that is NOT why alot of VA's fall out with rockstar, its greed. MOST of the biggest VAs they've had, have done the job not really careing because they didnt look in to (or indeed know how big some games could get at the time), worked for a fixed amount and boom done. The games would come out, make MULTI millons of dorra then the VAs get uppity demanding more becaue "well they are worth it and the game wouldn't be as huge with out THEIR star power!" so rockstar started to deal with no names........ and here we are again XD but this time it's over being fed up with a roll that has created you, which again I find to be a bit pathetic. There is NO WAY IN HELL you can play a character like trevor and just expect for everyone to set it aside, he made too much noise. There is also one case of just being an utter A hole as was the case with burt reynolds when he was in vice city, guy was an absolute drunk, washed up arse behind the scenes while they did his lines.
@@justanotheranimeprofilepic Doesn't most gta actors used that to to their advantage to further their career? It's mostly steven being rude about it. He is an actor he should have known something like this was gonna happen if gta didn't maybe he was gonna known as his twd character or better call saul one.
But, even putting aside, all the roles, or at least he's known for, he is the same type of character, some kind of killer maniac. Trevor from GTAV, Simon from Walking Dead. What else does he want people to recognize him, 5 5-minute cameo from Better Call Saul?
@@moralityisnotsubjective5 This Steven seems more like the character that Trevor would look down on for being superficial and full of himself. Ironically enough, Trevor has more character than Steven himself. Here he looks like a parody of his own character.
Sure, but as he himself is pointing out, Trevor Phillips isn't being an asshole to the person who paid 130$, Steven Ogg is being an asshole to the person who paid 130$
@@Oscario2004You’re playing as Franklin and the options are kill the other two characters or “deathwish.” Obviously people thought Franklin would be killed if they chose deathwish. Why is that so hard for you to understand that you need to ask? Wow.
Yeah i spent the entire time thinking this sounds so overblown cause its totally understandable to not like being known for only 1 thing but those cameos were indefensible.Like holy shit bro people are paying you money just say the lines instead of ranting how your not a cartoon.
Still hilarious to me that rockstar was 2 for 2 on hiring some absolutely amazing actors who did exactly one character then went to work a different job with rob and Jerry
"my name is steven ogg and i'm an actor who plays a character" "okay here is some cameo money could you read a message in-character" "I AM NOT A CARTOON I COULD NEVER BE A CARTOON"
Dude that made me mad. I was legit playing devils advocate for him in the comments, but holy shit. Seeing that many rant messages????? DUDE. YOU ARE BEING PAID. THIS IS YOUR JOB. Why the fuck would you be PAID to NOT ACT.
The ironic thing is, the way Steven treats the whole situation, is almost how I imagine Trevor would feel. So in a weird twisted way of him realizing it or not, he's being like Trevor.
People getting him to rant about not liking gta on cameo is exactly WHY you pay the money. If it isn't what you wanted you're an idiot. This video is full of bad takes.
@@lepersonnage371then he should stop acting like that one role he’s literally acting like Trevor every time someone mentions him voicing Trevor its funny he hates being called the one thing he’s acting like.
@@spongebobsqarepants8049 he is not acting like... "Trevor".. him acting the way he acts has nothing to do with Trevor, he actually like this because that's how he acts, because he likes being that way. "He's acting like Trevor" is just such a 12 year old kid thing to say omg
@@lepersonnage371 no but like how everyone else is saying, he literally plays the same character in every role and that role is basically just Trevor. When every other role you play is just an alternate version of your most popular one, then of course that's what people are gonna think of when they see you.
@@gizzo-f5t well I guess he was picked to play Trevor specifically because of his chaotic nature, so he was like that before gta 5, so he just keeps being how he was before all that. He is just goofy by nature
Giancarlo Esposita said it best "People come up to me and say I'm Gus (Breaking bad) but I'm an actor my name is Giancarlo but I will ALWAYS be there for my fans" and he then proceeds to act as Gustavo for the fans. He loves and appreciates his fans because he knows that the fans are what makes him succeed as an actor.
Real shit, i read somewhere that he was considering to un alive himself bc he couldn't provide (no income) for his family. Then he auditioned for breaking bad and the rest is history.
Right, he doesn’t have to like the game or the role or any of it. Like I get it, he doesn’t have to embrace things the way others have but. But there’s no reason to turn around and be condescending to the fans and the people who enjoyed his performance and to gaming in general and act like GTA fans are losers who cant tell reality from fiction. What do you get out of that? Just accept it’s not your thing and separate yourself from it then.
@@Caio-ow5tm I find HIM insufferable because he's an egotistical crybaby millionaire. He is the typical wannabe actor in Hollywood, cupping the balls of every influencer in reach for a little more time in the spotlight.
It comes across as him believing that people can't distinguish a video game character and a real life actor, when really people just wanted him to... you know..... act.
@@CorrvenGill he really doesn't realize that Trevor is Trevor because Rockstar wrote him as a character in their game lol. Man stuck in his own delusions, like Trevor in Sandy Shores
well, voice acting is a bit of a .... weird place. honestly, im 100% actors being voice actors, its cool occasionally for something iconic like toy story. but, we have more or less destroyed an entire market of jobs, known as voice actors, granted, a few voice actors voiced our child hood, but knowing future generations are pretty much just gonna have actual actors, is weird. but, my point is, OG doesnt see voice acting as acting....because its not. think about it, his character in TWD was so good, until this very moment, i didnt know it was the same person. Every thing he has been in, i didnt think "oh, thats trevor" i thought "oh, theres that good actor" in films, he is actually acting, he is an actual character. video games are more like books with moving pictures. its just not the same.
@@right584 No return the money from the cameos people paid for. He charges over 100 dollars for cameo videos, but if you do anything Trevor related, he just sits there on a passive aggressive rant about how Trevor isn't real
I think Steven's problem is that GTA will be what he's best known for first and foremost, and for him, I think he finds it demeaning for himself to put so much effort into his future roles only for them all to get overshadowed with the one role he did over a decade ago. It's clear Steven takes his acting seriously and I remember hearing interviews before that he barely knew what GTA was, so to him it was just another job.
Aw, how sad. Famous and rich but angry because he thinks he's only known for a video game character. F'k him and his disrespectful ass. Wont watch anything with him in it.
Kinda makes me think of the TF2 Engineer's VA, the dude did the lines then moved on to other work, however his role as Dell is likely his most well known and recognized one despite not having any knowledge or interaction with the game and it's community since it was just a side job for him as he was building up his career and portfolio. Even though he's done many other roles, most are going to see him as the Engineer alike people seeing Steven as Trevor.
Steven: I am an actor, I want to get paid to play characters, I am not just Trevor Dude on Cameo: here's $160, can you play this character for up to 2 minutes? Steven: 😮😠
They literally act their character. Ned embraces the fame, welcomes it, and enjoys it, just like Michael with the movie industry. Solo doesn't really mind the fame and has moved on to other things, like Franklin. Steven hates his fame and doesn't like being called Trevor and is rude to fans, just like Trevor
Tbh there was a video where Ned was annoyed at being called a "voice actor" and he wanted to be called a "performance actor". Either he lied on camera in that interview or he changed his mind after the fact.
Because people think VAs are people who just say lines into a mic. That’s not what it is. They would act out these scenes just like on a TV show. People do not get the work that VAs put in for their work.
@@charliekelly735 He does have a point. Ned and co. didn't just provide the voice work unlike the previous cast members, they had to do the mocap work as well. So all the shits that you see your characters do, they actually did just that irl, hence "performance actor"
I think the issue here is that Ogg doesn't take video games as seriously as tv shows and movies. To him, games are cartoons and not worth the recognition, while live action performances should be recognized. It's an old-school mentality that used to be really huge back then. We saw it with Ray Liotta, who didn't understand nor care for his performance as Tommy Vercetti because it's a video game. All in all, I don't think he despises the performance that he did. He just doesn't understand it nor care for it the same way he understands and cares for his other acting roles. But, if he's hell-bent on not caring for it, he should at least make the effort to understand it. To see why this performance of his is so important to many. After all, it's what put him on the map.
Its funny though, because, if he blew up off of Game Of Thrones, he'd probably love that, but since he blew up off of GTA, he has a problem with it. Meanwhile, people are still discussing GTA games decades after they came out. If there was a game I'd want to blow up off of, its GTA. Granted, I bet a part of his resentment is pay. I bet he was paid like trash and only after realized how much money he made Rockstar.
Another example is Andrzej Sapkowski - the creator of the Witcher universe. When he sold the IP rights to CDPR, he didn't expect the Witcher series to blow up so much in popularity. To this day he holds a dismissive attitude towards video games, yet privately felt bitter about underselling the IP rights.
Yeah I noticed that he doesn't seem to view video games as art. His whole "Trevor is a cartoon" defense really falls apart when you consider that he is essentially claiming that a large portion of acting (voice acting) is by extension less meaningful than IRL acting. Does he not realize that "cartoons" are art?
@charliekelly735 Nah, he probably has that old-school mentality where cartoons are just like children's toys and thus a waste of time. Whereas live action tv shows and movies are real artistic works because they're tied to Hollywood blockbusters and showbusiness. Because that's a form of media that's been around for so long and represented by so many legendary cinematographers and celebrities, that it's been recognized by the mass media and publicities since forever. To him, that's what needs to be taken seriously. Not children's stuff. Even though, there's a plethora of cartoons and games out there that are definitely for adults and not children. That these forms of media have become just as big and important as live action media. But he clearly doesn't see nor understands that.
A lot of actors, older and younger than him have gotten to understand that videogames are as big as movies nowadays. Sometimes I wonder if it's a case of him not understanding that or not wanting to capitalize on it.
This makes me appreciate Matthew Lillard and Hayden Christensen more because they don't bitch about being only known for playing one role only (Shaggy and Anakin Skywalker). They appreciate the fans with grace and it keeps their popularity and career alive, even if sometimes it could get tiring Edit: I forgot to mention Tobin Bell is also the best example
@@tylerjennings8242 I know he's known for playing in Scream and FNAF too, but my point is I like actors who don't complain about how people see them as. Shaggy is one of the roles that Matthew consistently come back to play and not just for his career and money but also you can tell he's genuinely grateful for the opportunities and fans and doesn't waste it compare to Ogg. He just wants a stable job and do what he likes which he achieved effectively as Shaggy
Well you've gotta consider the difference. Lillard has done other stuff aside from Scooby-Doo and thus he gets approached for a variety of things, all while people respect that he's Matthew Lillard, the guy who plays Shaggy, Stu Macher, William Afton or whoever and not actually those characters. Same goes for Hayden Christensen. In fact, Hayden really wasn't doing so much acting after Star Wars and being in it was kind of rough given how people reacted to hiss portrayal of Anakin. It wasn't until years later where the heat died down and especially with Obi-Wan Kenobi that he really started embracing it, especially since again, a lot of people are respecting him as Hayden Christensen and not just calling him Anakin. With Steven Ogg? It's so frustrating to do acting gigs and get more opportunities because of GTA and then to have people not just only bring up Trevor but continuously ask him to be Trevor, to treat him like he's Trevor when he's a real human being has gotta be unbelievably frustrating, especially since with GTA's fanbase being quite young, it skews incredibly obnoxious.
Because if you look at Ogg's acting career, he falls more and more in-line with the cliche trope of a "bad guy" or villain. GTA V, The Walking Dead, etc. Iirc Ogg mentioned that he hates being seen this way because he wants his fans to come up and ask him for a hug like they would with other actors. Instead, with him, they ask him to tell them to go fuck themselves and shit lol
@@PyrrhoX I feel for the Guy, however you cannot control your fanbase in full and if your mainly promote your bad guy roles thats what your fans going to want. Kinda like the Jessy from Breaking bad having to call everyone "bitch" it took him a long time to diversify his roles and is becoming know for more than breaking bad but it takes a lot of effort and a bit of luck with the fanbase. I do hope Ogg gets what he wants he looks like a cool guy and a blast to be around,but at some point he will have to drop the GTA fame to get to where he wants to be.
@@CoachKussenVuist he just wants to be the good guy, but you cant complain in the acting business. you get what you get and you don't throw a fit. he just needs to be happy with what he has because in reality, a lot of people wish they were him. he just needs to accept reality and be a better person
Doesn't matter what his headline is, he's an actor, and shouldn't he be chomping at the bit for a chance to act? Playing the character that he portrayed would only make his fame grow, instead of acting like a prima donna and not giving the people what they want, sinking his popularity and therefor his potential future roles.
I wonder if Steven's attitude is what got Trevor's Single Player DLC cancelled [Besides GTA Online being a cashcow] and Trevor going "missing" post Los Santos Drug War DLC...
Doubt it Maybe him going missing after Drug War because they ran out of voice lines to use and Ogg didn’t want to return anymore But the single player DLC was scrapped pretty soon after GTAO blew up, which was way before Drug War
@@Gibbypastrami Yea, but he was still being a bit of a dihk to the fans around that time he would have being capturing and recording for the single player DLC too, so I am sure Rockstar would have noticed that. It makes me wonder if Rockstar did or said something to Steven behind closed doors that soured him on wanting to go back or work for the company again as well. Rockstar and TakeTwo's record with voice actors, specifically the ones that MADE their games what they are is... well "dogshyt" would be the accurate term. But in the end; who knows. I sure as shyt don't :]
It’s kind of ironic how similar Stephen and Trevor are very ironic nobody gives a fuck about me grrrrr mate we clearly do otherwise we wouldn’t be playing as you plus all his characters in any show or movie is pretty much Trevor
Steven ogg is literally mini ladd with the vanoss crew. He doesn't want to be known as the guy that played with vanoss, he wants to be his own thing which isn't bad, it's just stupid since you can be both.
That’s conjecture though. He’s a smart guy and there’s nuances to what’s going on here and a lot is ambiguous. There’s partly an element him being Trevor acting as Steven it looks like to me in these cameo vids which is being lost on some people and they’re taking it as him being disrespectful. He addressed how he feels on GTA on his Instagram fairly recently which i don’t know if it’s mentioned in this vid yet.
@@commanderblack5045Then you shouldn't be an actor. It's no secret at all that you will be treated as the characters you act as. That's how it's been for just about anybody that's ever acted. You know what you sign up for
My biggest gripe with Steven Ogg is he said “I’m a actor” while basically dismissing a entire form of acting because the characters aren’t “real” as if any other character he’s played were more “real” just because they’re live action, his tv and movie characters are just as not real as Trevor but he still made them all real for the audience through the artform of acting just because Trevor is a animated character doesn’t make him a less real or less meaningful character than any other he’s played
Those cameo videos always just really rub me up the wrong way. I really wanna be sympathetic toward him, accepting that of course he's an actor and wants to be recognized for works he understands a lot better. But damn, he's so patronizing and petty after someone has spent so much money that I just can't sympathize with him at all!
Yeah I haven’t liked him since then, I understand that he wants to be known as Steven for future projects that he may have and known as a great actor and not a character but those people were literally paying him do the role of Trevor for less than 2 minutes, pretty much scamming the fans by using the vid they paid for to rant, makes me think he just doesn’t need fame
I mean I get what Steve is trying to do though. How many people know Steven Ogg for his roles in BCS or TWD and not GTA? Unfortunately, Steven might just be forever best known as Trevor for the rest of his career. I mean look at it from an actor’s perspective, if you’re only well known for one character and constantly get asked questions about a character and on top of that, you just see acting as a job and you do your job, you’ll get sick of it. And yes I understand that Steven should be respectful to the fans and should be thankful for the massive platform he was given. I just think that people forget that actors don’t have to absolutely embrace every role they’ve done
@@ledzep1023without the Trevor character, he doesn’t exist in TWD or BCS. That’s the point, and instead of being humble about it he bitches and moans. It’s no wonder that people think he’s an asshole. That would be like Bob Odenkirk crying when somebody pays him $150 to act like Saul from BCS.
@@ledzep1023Agreed! That’s why typecasting happens. Whenever you play a huge role, you’ll most likely always play a character JUST like that one. It’s a crazy thing in the acting industry, but it happens.
I met Zach Ward at the Christmas story house during a meet and greet he was doing during Christmas time so you can only imagine the hundreds of people who came up to him and quoted the same quotes from a Christmas story all day long but then i got to him got our picture taken together and i told him he was my favorite postal dude and the way his eyes lit up i think just because i was mentioning one of his most famous roles besides in a chistmas story
@@sanguinedelight6464 yeah i actually mentioned that too i said i wish they would contact him to voice act for it since they had recently added the other va’s and he said he would gladly if they contacted him then a few months later he was added
Not really. He acts like some boomer California hipster liberal (I have no clue where he actually lives). If you watch his videos on Cameo (there are way more than what was shown here) he constantly talks about hating Trevor as a character because of how hateful and vulgar he is, and how the world just needs more love. Lol. Dude is about as far away from Trevor as possible.
Steven Ogg neglecting Trevor is like if James Gandolfini declined to acknowledge the significance of Tony Soprano. Could you imagine how silly that would’ve been?
Comparing Trevor to Tony soprano is absolutely psychotic, he's not even the best character in his game much less the entire series, get back to me when he's bare minimum niko tier
@@Bitter-WoundsI think what he’s saying is like imagine an actor dismisses an iconic role they’ve done. He’s not comparing the two, he’s just giving an example
@@ledzep1023 yes exactly this. i’m aware Trevor isn’t the best character in GTA, let alone as iconic as Tony Soprano… but to dismiss the significance of playing characters like them would be absurd and Steven Ogg has done just that.
I think one of the big problems with distancing himself from his character is that Trevor was physically designed after him, all of the GTA V protagonists were designed after there voice actors. So it’s kind of hard to not be Trevor when not only do you sound like him, but you also look like him.
It's so sad that he just doesn't recognize that he played one of the best characters in the entire gaming history because of his great acting. How is it possible that he just doesn't realize that fans are praising his performance as Trevor? Well, I know he is not into gaming, but he can still see that GTA 5 was a great success. It's like playing in Titanic as Leonardo DiCaprio and Leo just doesn't want to be recognized as the guy who played Jack Dawson.
If that's how it is, don't put yourself in the public spotlight in the first place. You can't be in the public eye in that manner and then avoid the public eye, that's just not how it works
Its simple, he just does not want to be recognized as Trevor, it is that simple, you wouldnt understand his position, he did VA for a character but is tired of constantly getting only called out because a VA he did. Same happens with Scout from TF2, He got tired of that too and decided to move one, next time dont compare a role actor as Leonardo DiCaprio with Ogg because is not the same situation 😂
Some actors don't want to be known for that ONE role, but public figures don't have control over that. You can embrace it, ignore it or hate it, but you can't change it.
You get offered those parts, he's probably typecast, my friend said to me five years ago I wish the guy who played Trevor would stop being trevor, he didn't mean his personality or roles he meant him constantly being approached to do Trevor impressions , it's been ten years now , of course he's sick of it, although that doesn't justify robbing a cameo donation
I think, it wasn't the role itself that caused him to get fed up with it but by fans calling him Trevor, ignoring him as a person and his character generally isn't a nice person to protray. Likely just frustated that he will always been known as Trevor and it overshadows his entire career.
It’s also as ridiculous to call Trevor a cartoon character as it would be to call any of his characters that. Steven was Trevor. He did the voice, the mocap, he acted the character himself, it wasn’t some animator that created him. He’s as lost as he claims GTA fans are lol.
But... People act like it 😭. There's one interview where he said people would tell him to do crazy shit like piss on them or whatever. Getting told to do that all the time can most definitely get annoying.
@Crimsh is there proof that someone asked him to piss on them? I mean yea there's going to be annoying dumb fans but the point still stands. Most people are aware he's a human
@@oueoueokok1148 I was talking about the Drug Wars DLC for gta online and the possibility Trevor was supposed to return, but didn’t due to Steven Ogg not wanting to replay as Trevor.
Don't you do some stuff for Trevor in Online though? I vaguely recall him being dismissive towards me and got brushed off when I dropped of a vehicle or something at his trailer. Barely said anything, basically just a grunt and a handwave from his window and mission ended. At the time I remember being excited to work for Trevor, to hear the funny things he'd have to say. But no. I guess that ended up being foreshadowing huh.
@@augingma5518 is he Trevor? Don't get me wrong, I know what you mean. But everyone has to understand that he is Steven Ogg, not Trevor or Simon from TWD! The problem is that us fans, as soon as we like a character, want those actors always to stay in character. Take David Hayter for an example. He would do Solid Snake/Big Boss always at any time. In the end it's Steven Ogg's decision.
@@SFlRanger82l49 I'm sure he wishes to expand from just being Trevor. What's the term... He doesn't want to be type casted? I'm sorry I forgot the saying. He's always playing the same type of guy. It might annoy him.
@@augingma5518 oh, you mean that he always plays a bad guy!? I know in fact a few actors who always play bad guys, never the good one. That of course depends also on the actor as well. Most of the time it's because of how the actor looks like in real life. Udo Kier for an example. He's a German actor, he got steel blue eyes. He looks always evil, even when he smiles. To be honest, when Steven Ogg smile's........I don't know but I get goosebumps every time.
GTA V absolutely put Ogg on the radar, and arguably propelled him into stardom. He should be more grateful. I think you were super fair in saying that he should just say, respectfully, that he wants to distance himself from Trevor instead of making fans feel like assholes for appreciating his role
I feel like Steven not humoring the requests that people make for him when they literally pay him $130 is kind of a telling thing that yes he can't script act but he's not a "good" actor if he can't suck it up and humor the people that are booking him. My theory is that he's having a bit of Harrison Ford/Star Wars syndrome. Its the big role that EVERYONE knows him for and even when it comes to his big show roles in other media like Walking Dead and Breaking Bad, he's getting type-casted into that crazy powder keg role when that's not what he wants. While I'm sympathetic that his hate of being stuck to that type of role, that doesn't excuse him being an asshole about it.
I feel sad about it. Of course, being asked to perform as a character you embodied years ago, over and over, must be frustrating. However, what he needs to understand is that his portrayal of Trevor in GTA V was so remarkable that many people are deeply attached to both the character and, to some extent, him as an actor. Why not embrace this, especially when most of the characters he's portrayed (such as his appearance in Better Call Saul) have personalities very similar to Trevor's?
Steven Ogg should take a page from Mark Hamill's book. He doesn't get pissed off for being known as Luke Skywalker, and he's gone on to make just as iconic characters with Joker and is beloved by the fanbases of whatever series he is in.
@@Space_Devil Hamill has been notoriously partisan when it comes to political discourse and has open contempt for anyone who disagrees with his side. There's also other things in his personal life that he's done that are pretty messed up involving his biological Grandchild and attempting to prevent them from being born. Personally it doesn't ruin his performances as the Joker for me, he's still a great actor.
@@Egg_of_the_King I have always said that Mark Hamill is the definition of never meet your childhood heroes in person. He went from being an optimistic young man to a sinical old fart. If you say the wrong thing to him, he'll snap on you so fast you won't have time to hang your head and cry.
Mark's done interviews before where he says he prefers talking about the Joker over Luke if possible. He said Luke is Luke but the Joker is a role people become actors just for a shot at, and out of everyone's interpretation, Heath Ledger, Jack Nicholson and himself are often the one people compare them to. He's not wrong, if its animated then Hamill Joker is the GOAT.
Simple answer, he acts like a complete D-Bag whenever someone brings up Trevor, the role that made him a household name and probably lead to him getting all those TV roles
I met Gerry at a show his band played last year. Super awesome experience! We chatted for a bit and he signed my ps2 copy of Bully. Awesome, genuine, down to earth dude
15:37 is actually really, really sad and uncomfortable to watch knowing what Steven is probably thinking in that moment. The poor guy filming just wanted a cool special moment to cherish, maybe show his friends, and ogg is clearly just being a tool. Can't stand him anymore man.
Bring his ass back in 6, have him go out like Johnny K. It's only right. Hell, Johnny was a likeable character who's voice never notably pissed off the fans, so his ass would STILL be gettin' off easy!
Steven OBVIOUSLY doesnt understand that games are just as much if not more popular than Movies and Shows. Brother needs to get on with the current entertainment climate. All of us that played games as kids are now grown up's still playing games , games are not for kids anymore that era ended long time ago. Im 41 and i dont think i will ever not play games. My man in the off chance that you see this comment i stopped watching The Walking Dead because it became repetitive AF and got bored our of my mind after 5 episodes of Westworld. Think of that what you want.
Didn't she basically just lie to everyone about not being paid enough? But she's kinda the reverse Steven Ogg in that she felt like she OWNED the role of Bayonetta
@@-alif7188 The VA for Bayonetta 3 is Jennifer Hale, (female Shepard). If memory serves, fans unfairly gave her an ass-reaming when the original VA pretty much gaslighted the entire internet into thinking that she got paid too little for a role that became iconic thanks to her "talent", and that she *owned* the role and that Hale basically stole it from her. It was stupid
Good to see you Swegta! I really used to love these guys and still appreciate what they done for GTA 5 but 1 failed exploiting the fans, 1 is an asshole on twitter to his own fans and 1 simply don't care about games and GTA. There is a saying that goes: Never meet your heroes.
What is so wrong about it when you doesn't like video Games? Ray Liotta said back in the when he was working for Rockstar Games that video games are a wast of time and nobody cares about him saying that
This... Really disappoints me... When I got into TWD in 2016, I saw Steven and was so excited to see the guy who played Trevor in the show that I had just come to love. I started following him on Instagram (as goofy as those posts were), and saw them get liked by fellow cast members of TWD. I became a really big fan of his and really admired him for how far he was making it... Seeing all of this... Man... I guess you really can't look up to anyone anymore...
In one way, I can fully understand Steven Ogg's frustration. It can become demoralizing if you get stuck being known for only one thing, and that thing is in a media that you have absolutely no interest in and don't believe is a big time thing. In another though, it was because of GTA V that people started to notice him in being able to play a specific type of character. Steve sadly couldn't accept that fact and it ultimately caused him to reject his claim to fame so hard that he's now villainizing himself with the fans that made Trevor his true breakout role. Without Trevor, Steve is just another actor who thinks he can do more than what he actually can.
its hard being a VA when you voiced a famous character as Trevor, hes obviously drained out and tired of only getting petitions and recognition from a game he does not even care about to the point where fans start harassing and dehumanize someone who is doing their job.
This is Steven's "I am not Spock!" phase, the exact same that Leonard Nimoy went through. Nimoy later embraced it - maybe Steven will one day look back on himself and think "man I was way too uptight back then" and ease off a little bit.
What I don't understand, is why not just give the people who pay for a cameo what they want? He says he is more than just the "cartoon". Then show us, show us you do more than just voice acting but are a performance actor as well. Besides that, big companies always enjoy it if you go well with the community of that movie or series. He decided to do the opposite
the problem is, Ogg was legit a nobody before, that game gave him what he has today. And his sour attitude, that's how you actually loose out on roles. Casting agencies look up people and see how they are, and all Ogg has to say is "oh yeah im not a gamer, but you know, these fans are passionate, they love the character, they love me, and that's pretty awesome." He has gone on record saying he's not a gamer but, its about how you handle that fame that came with you. As SWEGTA pointed out, Ogg didnt ride this fame really. If you know Henry Winkler, The Fonz himself, that roll got him eveyrthing, he always credits the Fonz for his career in Hollywood, which either in acting, writing, or directing. He says he never stops talking about the Fonz, he loves him and the fans. And Winkler is a really good actor, as is Ogg, but Ogg refuses to accept this game as part of him. And I get it too, some actors arent gamers, some actors don't want to be talked to or recognized, because, lets face it, some actors are WEIRD. We know this. Ogg just needs to embrace it and not do CAMEOS or go to any cons or press because, Trevor is what he will be asked about.
@@commanderblack5045 You realize what a convention is right? Of course people will talk to him about trevor or any of his characters if they see him there.
@@blueykangaroo he is an actor, that is literally his fucking job. Also it's less so about what he's doing and more so how he's doing it. There's a big difference between respectfully saying hey look I get that you like the character I just don't feel comfortable talking about him as I wanna be known for me, not the character and, well trevor's a fucking cartoon and I'm not trevor... don't know why you'd ever think I'm a cartoon cause I'm not so stop talking about cartoons. Like even calling it a cartoon is like saying, "hey, trevor is inherrently worse than any other character that is live action". On top of that when pretty much ALL of your wealth and fame came from that one 'cartoon' character, you seem like an ungrateful dick when you continuously shun the fans of said character and use any interactions where people try to talk about the character to promote yourself whilst shitting on where you came from. At this point he reaps what he sews and if people treat him like a circus animal then he more than deserves it
Jhonny Depp is forever Captain Jack Sparrow. You dont see him bitching about it. He even dressed up as the character and went to a children's hospital. Same goes for the actor ron perlman. He dressed up as hellboy which i read was about a 3 hr session to visit a children's hospital.
I don't think this is a fair comparison. Johnny depp was a well established actor with a great career before Pirates of the Caribbean. Steven was basically a nobody until GTA 5. If Johnny Depp started with Pirates of the Caribbean i think it would be a fair comparison.
