³ÉÈËÂÛ̳

Like so many fans, Bugzy has spent hours and hours on GTA V.

It was a game so big it no longer had one lead character – it needed three.

They were performances acted with authority, anger and humour. This is the tale of what it takes to act such a nuanced and complex role, from an actor at the peak of his powers.

Steven Ogg provided the performance for the unforgettable Trevor – a haunted criminal prone to extreme violence.

Having done a few films himself, it’s a role that Bugzy finds inspiring.

But there was even more to come with GTA V, as its world expanded into an online metaverse all of its own. Three players from this weird and exciting world explain what gives them their in-game kicks.

At the same time, it’s a world that can cost money, if you want it to: and that’s something that’s led to growing criticism from some online users.

Expectation is growing for a new title in the series.
