Steven Ogg is a Canadian actor who has appeared in movies, TV shows, and even video games. Some people might recognize him because of his roles on either Westworld or The Walking Dead. However, it should be noted that he has had more minor roles in other well-known series as well such as Better Call Saul and Murdoch Mysteries. Here are five things that you may or may not have known about Steven Ogg:
Born in Calgary, Canada
Ogg was born in Calgary, which is one of the biggest cities in not just the Canadian province of Alberta but the whole of Canada. Primarily, Calgary is famous for its strong economic performance, as shown by the fact that it boasts a significant percentage of the corporate headquarters that can be found in Canada. However, it should be noted that its economic power has provided Calgary with a fair amount of cultural influence as well, particularly since it is home to its own slice of the film and TV industry.
Started Out in a Commercial
The first project that Ogg ever appeared in was a commercial. To be exact, it was a commercial for the National Film Board of Canada. Like its name suggests, the National Film Board of Canada is a part of the Canadian government that is responsible for producing a wide range of media as well as distributing to the relevant parties. As a result, it is no exaggeration to say that the National Film Board of Canada plays an important role in promoting Canadian culture in Canada itself.
Once Pursed a Career in Sports
After the commercial, Ogg went on to work in a number of other projects as an actor as well. However, his main focus wasn’t acting in those times because he harbored ambitions of pursuing a career in sports. Unfortunately, Ogg’s plans in that regard fell through he sustained injuries that made it impossible for him to follow through, which is why he proceeded to change his focus to acting instead.
Played Trevor Philips in Grand Theft Auto V
Curiously, one of Ogg’s best-known roles wasn’t in either a movie or a TV show. Instead, it was in the video game called Grand Theft Auto V, which saw him playing a main character named Trevor Philips as well as performing the motion capture. Said character had a terrible but nonetheless memorable personality, which contributed to his positive reception by a lot of fans out there.
Plays Rebus in Westworld
Currently, some people might recognize Ogg because of his role as Rebus on Westworld. Previously, he appeared for a total of four episodes in the first season of the series. However, he is set to make his return in the second season, which should come as welcome news to those who remember his performance with fondness. For those who are curious, Season 2 of Westworld is starting up soon, seeing as how the first episode is expected to start broadcasting on April 22 of 2018.
