Poll of the Day

One thing to keep in mind with Steven Ogg is that he's kind of bitter about the fact that he tried to be a serious actor for years and no one gave a shit, and then Trevor of all characters made him famous.

For a while after, he was really wary of getting typecast (which was probably a valid fear, because he mentioned not getting certain roles because the casting directors didn't want "the guy who played Trevor").

Same thing happened with CJ's voice actor in GTA:SA. He wanted to be considered a rapper, but ended up in the shadow of GTA forever. But I think actors playing roles in (modern) Rockstar games need to realize that this role will be the biggest thing they'll ever do. Sure it's not a blockbuster movie, or gets them the Oscar. Which lowers the prestige, but there's endless struggling actors that would kill to have a major role in a Rockstar game now, even if its the only big thing they ever do. But they need to also realize is it won't springboard them into mainstream acting because it's a different mountain peak, on a different range, on another planet.
