Actor Steven Ogg played a major role in GTA 5, bringing the favorite character Trevor to life. He’s never played GTA 5, however–or any video game for that matter–and he is not excited about GTA 6[1]. In fact, he says he feels nothing at all about it.
Asked recently[2] how excited he is for GTA 6, Ogg said, “I feel nothing inside. I’m not a gamer. I’ve never played a video game. I feel absolutely nothing [about GTA 6].”
Instead, Ogg said he prefers books. He encouraged people to read Crime and Punishment from Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky.
“Someone said, ‘At some point, you should play GTA 5.’ I said, ‘Why?’ They said, ‘Because it’s so great.’ And I said, ‘Well, one day you should read Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment.’ And then he went completely blank. Books are my thing,” he said.
Ogg has previously discussed his inability to play video games, saying at one point he tried, but kept failing to progress and just kept ramming into a wall with his character.[7]
Ogg was said to have recorded lines for a James Bond-like story DLC for GTA 5 that would have seen Trevor going undercover. However, that add-on obviously never happened, and it was reportedly scrapped because of the success of GTA Online. He’s also said he hopes Trevor shows up in GTA 6 so the character can be killed off.[8][9][10]
Ogg is best known in gaming for GTA 5, but he’s also known for playing Simon in more than 20 episodes of The Walking Dead. He also had a recurring role in the Snowpiercer TV series and was in a pair of Better Call Saul episodes as well. Ogg is also known for his series of absurd Old Spice commercials.[11]
The actor had roles in the video games Alone in the Dark (2008) and Cursed Mountain (2009) prior to his breakout success as Trevor in 2013’s GTA 5. He hasn’t done another video game since, however.
GTA 6 launches in May 2026 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The game stars Jason and Lucia, but Rockstar has not yet announced the actors playing those lead roles. Check out the gallery below to learn more about Jason, Lucia, and all the other main characters in GTA 6’s story.
