Steven Ogg, the actor who played Trevor Philips in GTA 5, says he wishes Rockstar had brought the character back for GTA 6. Speaking to Principle Magazine, as reported by GameSpot, Ogg said a short cameo would have been a perfect way to "pass the torch."
What Ogg said
His idea was a small, playful moment at the start of GTA 6. Trevor could show up "sitting on the toilet" or doing some "weird thing," like getting knocked to the ground by something falling on his head. The point would be an acknowledgement that Trevor's story is over and it's time for Jason and Lucia to take center stage.
Ogg tied it to GTA 5's opening. Trevor's first scene has him bashing Johnny Klebitz from GTA 4, so a callback would have made a full-circle moment.
He also said he's curious how GTA 5's characters would look with a decade of technical progress behind them. He admitted he isn't a fan of reboots and sequels, but understands why they happen: "it makes money."
The Trevor DLC that never was
Ogg said Rockstar canceled Trevor-centric DLC for GTA 5 that would have featured a James Bond-like story. GameSpot reports Rockstar reportedly canceled it so it could focus its efforts elsewhere, though the details behind that decision are sparse.
Ogg also pushed back on online theories that he dislikes GTA or Trevor. He said he has always been proud of the character and of what Rockstar created, even though he doesn't play GTA 5 himself.
What it means for players
Ogg's comments are about what he'd like to see, not a casting announcement. The report doesn't say whether Trevor or Ogg will appear in GTA 6, so any cameo should be treated as speculation until Rockstar says something.
What we do know: Trevor is one of the three playable characters from GTA 5, alongside Michael (Ned Luke) and Franklin (Shawn Fonteno). Ogg has since landed roles in Better Call Saul, Snowpiercer, Westworld, Emancipation and Unabomber.
