Hugo One, a GTA speedrunner and YouTuber, says he contacted Ogg using the celebrity video message site Cameo and paid the actor $140 USD to record a message in character as Trevor telling Jason and Lucia (the rumoured protagonists of GTA 6) to “be careful in Vice City” and “watch out for the cops in Port Gellhorn”, one of the supposed districts in Rockstar’s next open-world game. “Tell them that ‘maybe you’ll see them out there.’ Feel free to be crazy,” Hugo One claims to have written in their Cameo request to Ogg.

Responding to Hugo One’s request, Ogg sends a video through Cameo saying “I’m not Trevor. My name is Steven, and I’m an actor,” before recording the lines requested by Hugo One.

“He [Hugo One] wanted me to give you this message from Trevor,” says Ogg, “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.

Without further ado here’s Steven Ogg (Trevor Philips) in one of the strangest rants you’ll ever see

GTA 5’s Trevor, Steven Ogg, sends “annoyed, berating” vid to GTA 6 fan

GTA 5 Trevor actor Steven Ogg has sent a Cameo video to one GTA 6 and Rockstar fan who describes his response about the sandbox game as “annoyed” and “berating”

I don't get it either. Any of it. I feel like I'm supposed to be outraged, but I just can't be bothered.

 

[Puscifer]

He needs to just embrace it or not do it, plain and simple. Every celebrity that's found themselves doing cameo end up playing their most popular character no matter how ridiculous it is.

Urggg... can we not have these clickbaity threads on here please........ keep this shit on YouTube.

I just sat through that 6 min vid to find out it wasnt a the actor berating at all.

Also this is such a non-story, who the fuck cares lol.

 

[Nankatsu]

If he doesn't like to reprise Trevor, why is he on Cameo on the first place?

 

[CherryFalls]

maybe him being a dick was part of the act as a sort of meta thing

 

[Punished Miku]

I'm sure the guy loved it.

 

[Filben]

I don't get neither.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

He's always been like this. I have a feeling he fears to be locked into a single character archtype so to say and career slow down kinda like what happened with Brendan Fraser.

This isn't a common thing with actors not wanting to embrace a character they acted as. Plus given the type of character Trevor was.

If that's the case I feel he shouldn't bother with the Cammeo thing if its just gonna trigger him the way it does.

We had a thread a few days ago, in which someone asked if he should buy a game on Steam that was on sale for 3$, while a free trial weekend was going on for said game. So I think we're improving.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Eh. Annoying character, and his character in Walking Dead was pretty much one of the most annoying characters too which is saying alot for that series

 

[ReBurn]

I could see celebrities being annoyed that people want them to act like trained monkeys for $100. Cameo isn't actually a cheap way to hire them to be your voice actor and he probably couldn't just portray Trevor for money without risking a lawsuit. He probably should have just turned down the Cameo.

"Actor Doesn't Risk Career With Details Of Leaked Game From Company He's Signed NDAs For In Past"

 

[Swift_Star]

I thought that as well...

 

[HTK]

He signed up to do Cameos and if can’t fulfill the requests he shouldn’t be taking money.

Be like I’m sorry I don’t do Trevor anymore and that’s that, but not act like a whiny bitch about it during the video. So weird.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Slow gaming news huh?

 

[Fbh]

Actor gets annoyed people literally pay him hundreds of dollars for a couple of minutes of work reprising his most popular character...sends a buthurt video he recorded.... While driving.

 

[Kilau]

Kinda reminds me of this "outrage"

 

[Vick]

"Of course i'm not Trevor"

 

[Hugare]

That's just classic Trevor

Thanks, Steve

 

[RoadHazard]

He seems fun.

I mean, I get it I guess, he doesn't want to be associated with only that character. But just don't do it then. Don't need to be an ass about it.

Asking an important question right there.

Coming up next: a thread in which a users asks whether he should breathe or if he should save his lungs by holding his breath for 15 minutes on an end.

 

[crunchyBiscuits]

The man is clearly method acting. This is the money's worth

 

[SmokedMeat]

 

[DeepEnigma]

Method actor, nice.

 

[Dane]

Now he's a real life Trevor

 

[cash_longfellow]

$140 and he was mad he did it….sounds like an actor who can’t find solid work after a job

 

[rofif]

He seems unhinged and annoying

 

[drotahorror]

Eh. Annoying character, and his character in Walking Dead was pretty much one of the most annoying characters too which is saying alot for that series

I like him in pretty much anything he's in, you already know he's that weasel guy. From Breaking Bad to Westworld, his roles are always weird/annoying.

But he shouldn't be accepting money from people if he doesn't want to embrace the role they're paying him for.

 

[Sosokrates]

If he doesn't like to reprise Trevor, why is he on Cameo on the first place?

Exactly this, if he does not want to do trevor he could just decline the job, not, accept it, bitch about it and do a really poor attempt.

$140 for like 30-60 mins work is really good, even for a C/B actor.

 

[TheMan]

Probably pissed that Trevor will always be his most recognizable role-as in he will probably never be known for anything else ever.

 

[ParaSeoul]

Getting an actor associated with GTA to address the leaks is probably a bigger reason to get angry,they could blacklist him for that.

 

[Js562]

I ain't never paying anybody $140 for a minute message. He looks like he was acting in those videos to me tho lol
