Steven Ogg provided the voice and motion capture for Trevor Philips in Grand Theft Auto V. His performance supplied both Trevor’s dialogue and the physical movements used to animate the character.
Trevor is one of GTA V’s three protagonists, alongside Michael De Santa and Franklin Clinton. A former bank robber and volatile career criminal, he operates Trevor Philips Enterprises while pursuing control of the drug and weapons trade in Blaine County and the surrounding region.
Rockstar based Trevor’s appearance partly on Ogg’s own physical features. Ogg’s performance also drew inspiration from the intensity and mannerisms associated with Tom Hardy’s portrayal of Charles Bronson in the 2008 film Bronson. The game’s writers gave Trevor violent impulses but also moments of loyalty and vulnerability, making him more complicated than a simple villain.
A frequent mix-up is assigning Ogg’s role to Michael Madsen, whose name is associated with crime films and other game performances. In GTA V, Ned Luke played Michael, Shawn Fonteno played Franklin, and Steven Ogg played Trevor.
