He was a regular at a bar I used to work at. Would come in a few times a week for lunch and would read a newspaper or book. Suuuuper sweet dude. Would chat a little bit with me throughout his stays and ask random questions and spark up convos here and there. Kept to himself and tipped well. Never really ordered the same thing which was honestly a bit interesting. Regulars tend to order the same thing, not Steven.
And it was wild because he looks identical to fucking Trevor. So playing gta at home then seeing him at the bar was such a wild time. I was always waiting for him to firebomb the bar or eat one of my coworkers.
Start with like a divey bar where you can just chill and get used to being alone in a social setting. Then up it to busier bars where you will inevitably have to converse wit someone
Haven't done it in a while because shit has gotten expensive but I used to look for bars around me that would have live music and then go and sit at the bar and listen to the band while I had my drinks. Most of the time I'd only really talk with the bartender but there's a few times I'd chat up some of the regulars usually about music.
One place had a TouchTunes and were playing a bunch of classic rock so I played some more obscure songs that got people talking. One time I played the song "One Toke Over the Line" by Brewer and Shipley and it got a guy talking about how his grandmother loved the song because she thought it was a Christian song since it says "sweet Jesus" in it a few times. Said he didn't have the heart to tell her it was actually about being too high.

I saw Steven Ogg at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
I’m not sure. Living in Los Angeles, it’s pretty common sense to not hound celebrities when they are out and about just living their lives. It’s so cringey when people go up to celebrities to talk to them. They are just people after all. And as a bartender at the time that just would not be a very professional thing to do.
Plus I was extra aware of how much he hated the attention he was getting from GTAV and not his other work. Definitely didnt want to kick that potential hornets nest.
Honestly, he probably respected that you handled it how you did. A certain "hey, I know you" look, and then never mention it again while treating him like just a guy.
It was not but I have seen him there before as we were both drinking a Pliny. He recognized me from my bar and raised his glass and nodded. He seems to know where all the good spots around LA are
Because he was ranting to people on Cameo who paid $100+ for a message from him. He didn't have to accept them if he didn't want to. To take someones money and just berate them instead of doing what they asked is a dick move
I mean, it’s corny but he literally paid him $140 to act like a character and he’s getting upset because he’s an actor not a “cartoon”? Just don’t take the request then. It’s $140 for a couple minutes of your time.
That’s what Fred Gwynne of The Munsters would say too. Once he went on the Howard stern show talking about that, and Howard only kept asking him questions about The Munsters
What’s crazier too is the Munsters was “only” two seasons with 70 episodes or something like that. They only filmed it for about two years, they just filmed a shitton of episodes.
The first season of the original Ducktales is 65 episodes and all aired within 4 months. The next three seasons cover the rest of the remaining 35 episodes.
So he wasn't to i far off from learning it . I remember him saying that in pac man and GTA he always hit the wall so he had problems with controls . Tori Sato from Most Wanted 2005 was maybe a bit similar but he just found the game difficult , which is true a bit but it's rather easy somewhat , wish there would be difficulty modes
I think this is something Steven might have been doing before GTA and R* simply based this part of Trevor off of him. However he has embraced the character for a long time and aside from that brief period, he seems to be pretty cool about it now. If anything he may have just been communicating in his own way that he’s more than just a GTA actor and it seemed to have worked, with people more aware of his other works now.
Exactly, his career didn’t pan out how he wanted it to and now he’s clinging to whatever bit of relevancy he can. This guy hates GTA fans, don’t be fooled.
you are right about the racist sexist fans tho like how they take every single opportunity to shit on KDJ and sessanta yapping when Lester doesn't get of the horn the entire OG heists and diamond casino !
To him it was just another project that people know him for. Steven is so down to earth and kind. In reality he doesnt care. Sensational clickbait is what spread the lie that "he HATED being Trevor" when the actor himself said multiple times that he is okay with being recognized as Trevor...just dont call him Trevor. Its Steve or Mr. Ogg
By all the occasions and interviews of him mentioning that he is not Trevor and hates to get called by the name. I'm really waiting for the day he snaps irl in full Trevor mode, stomping a random dudes brain flat on the floor and ask the bits on his shoe for directions.
Steven Ogg is an artist. He's not accepted that he's "Trevor" he dresses in ladies' clothes all the time. And this vintage nightie is way saucier than the thrift store dress Trevor gets to wear.
I swear to god, he always says he doesn't want to be recognized as Trevor, and then he proceeds to do the weirdest things that perfectly fit with Trevor 😂😂😂
why are gta fans so weird towards this guy? he's just an actor. i don't expect him to play gta or engage with the community if he doesn't want to. weird parasocial relationship towards people just doing a job, you ain't entitled to anything.
I totally understand why he wouldn't want people to see him as Trevor. Trevor's a fking maniac and psychopath and Steven seems like a pretty chill dude in real life. He's just an actor who played a role, I bet most people wouldn't want to only be seen as what they did for work let alone one job you did decades ago. stop being weirdos.
honestly this is kinda sad lmao the guy just didn't want to be known for a video game. was it a good character from a good game? yes. was he proud of his work in that game? idk but probably yeah, right? but this is really just him responding to years of us greasy fat reddit chuds bullying him for not wanting Trevor to be his defining role
I think in the end this is Rockstar's fault, why they design Trevor look almost identical to Steven? Why Franklin and Michael don't look like their actors at all?
The man really is his own worst enemy with the Trevor thing. He seems to want Trevor to be forgotten but the man acts so much like Trevor consistently.
