Steven Ogg
Steven Ogg (born November 4, 1973) is a Canadian actor. Ogg is best known for playing Trevor Philips in the 2013 video game Grand Theft Auto V, Simon in The Walking Dead (2016–2018), and being a spokesman for the American brand of male grooming products Old Spice.
Born in Edmonton and raised in Calgary, Ogg began his acting career after moving to New York City in 1999. He has since appeared in Law & Order (2000), Better Call Saul (2015–2020), Westworld (2016–2022), Snowpiercer (2020–2022), as well as several independent and short films.
Steven Ogg was born in Edmonton, Alberta, on November 4, 1973, and raised in Calgary.
After moving to New York City, he began acting in television shows such as Law & Order and Third Watch, in addition to some theater work and voice acting. He retired from acting in 2003 but returned in 2008.
After taking a break from acting to build a house, he was hired by Rockstar Games as the voice and motion capture artist for Trevor Philips in their 2013 video game Grand Theft Auto V. His character was critically acclaimed and he received numerous award nominations as a result. In February 2014, he received an award on the 3rd Annual New York Videogame Critics Circle Awards for Best Overall Acting in a Game. Ogg later reprised his role as Trevor Phillips in Grand Theft Auto Online in 2015 as a part of the "Series A Funding" heist, and the 2016 YouTube short film GTA VR.
Ogg made two appearances in Better Call Saul as Sobchak, a mercenary and private detective. In the 2015 episode "Pimento", he is one of three bodyguards hired for a protection job before getting into a verbal altercation with Mike Ehrmantraut. Mike humiliates Sobchak by disarming and incapacitating him. He reappeared in the 2020 episode "Dedicado a Max", undertaking clandestine investigative work for Saul Goodman under the pseudonym "Mr X". The name Sobchak was likely inspired by The Big Lebowski character Walter Sobchak, also a security consultant and weapons enthusiast with an inflated sense of his own achievements and abilities.
In The Walking Dead season 6 finale, he made his debut as Simon, a member of the Saviors and one of the main antagonists in season 7. Ogg also portrayed Rebus in the HBO series Westworld, and provides the voice of Professor Venomous in Cartoon Network's animated series OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes. In 2019, Ogg portrayed Flexon in the second season of the 2016 series The Tick.
Ogg noted in an interview that he is aware of being typecast as "the crazy guy and the unpredictable guy" (with one example being his portrayal of Trevor in Grand Theft Auto V) though he did not mind this if it led to steady work. He admitted, however, that he would ideally like to explore "different characters [and] different worlds", like his role as a father in the 2019 drama The Short History of the Long Road.
