Part 2
Steven Ogg (Trevor Philips in Grand Theft Auto V)
*Adult language warning in this episodeJust can't get enough?! Us either! For our very LAST episode what better way to end the season than with Part 2 of our chat with the ridiculously talented, charismatic and incredibly popular Steven Ogg. Gamers know Steven best as Simon in The Walking Dead and as Trevor Philips in Grand Theft Auto V. His character in GTA V was critically acclaimed and he received numerous award nominations as a result. His impressive resume also includes turns in The Tick, Better Call Saul and Westworld.
Because this is the very last episode of the season, we mixed things up a bit. Instead of Kaili doing one of her signature interviews, she and Steven leave all their scripted notes and inhibitions aside and just talk. And laugh. And share. And reminisce. And swear (and then swear some more. You’ve been warned!). So you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be a fly on the wall when two good friends “in the biz” get caught up, now’s your chance! Part two of this two-part episode coming next week!
Be sure to check out Steven in:
SNOWPIERCER which premiered on Sunday May 17th and airs weekly on TNT: https://www.tntdrama.com/snowpiercer
