Why you like Trevor and he deserves to die in in Grand Theft Auto 6? >> Oh, no, I think I said I don't know if he to die.
No one, you know, it's just I if if there was a thing in six, I thought cuz my character in five kills off someone from Johnny Levitz. Lebitz? I don't know who that is. Uh so, when you first see Trevor is when I'm stomping the guy's head. And I just thought, cool. Not that it's my It's not my production. It's not my show. I just said it would be cool to pass the torch if Trevor got killed off passing the torch just like four was passed on to us by stomping his head.
That's what I But, it would be cool if like Trevor has a heart attack taking a [ __ ] or something like nonviolent or you know, he's choking on a chicken bone or a dick. >> [laughter] >> Or maybe Franklin can finally kill his ass for saying my N-word. >> There you go. >> Stomp his head in. >> [laughter] >> If you were able to do anything with your character I could to change, what would you change? >> Underwear. >> [laughter] >> Didn't he always wear dirty underwear? >> Yeah. >> You said if we could change something about our character >> Yeah, something about your character, what would you change? >> Man, I I always felt like uh Franklin I mean, he was a great character.

Cuz Franklin was pretty much the guy that couldn't really He never got real like uptight. He was always in between these two dudes like calm down, man. You know, we If we going to do this [ __ ] let's do it. You know, he never was just like like just crazy like how crazy Lamar was. So, if I could change, I would have think I would want it Franklin to be a little [ __ ] just just nutty.
Just crazy. >> Cuz Shawn is actually >> Yeah, I'm [ __ ] [ __ ] >> He's >> [laughter] >> In real life, Shawn is [ __ ] Um no, he's like going back to when we started filming this, Shawn who would I would say was the real tough guy. Like just from his >> just from who he and how he came where he came from, from the streets, like the real deal as a as a human. Ned and I are just actors that pretend to be tough. But the thing is is that >> he was whatever.
Um But so Shawn was told, especially during the beginning of filming, Shawn's natural instincts were to want to fight back, to [ __ ] like what he's talking about, but he was told, "No, no, no, no. That's not your role in the game." So that's what, you know, for him to be able to actually have more of that. >> Yeah, that's exactly what I was talking about. What he just said. >> I don't know. I don't know what I would change.
I think I would I would change my family, maybe. I don't I don't know. Maybe maybe I'd I'd slap the [ __ ] out of Gizzle a little bit. Something, I don't know, but I kind of like my character the way it was. I don't think I would change anything. I thought it was a great character. And >> Definitely things you could change. >> Maybe kill Trevor early on in the in the script, I DON'T KNOW. >> HEY SHAWN, IF YOU WERE AT A RESTAURANT, WHAT would you order? >> Where the [ __ ] that come from? >> [laughter] >> Over here. >> Who the [ __ ] is that?

[laughter] >> THAT WAS REALLY GOOD, LITTLE SMOKE. >> Love you, active. >> Like, is that a song? >> Hey, that's a good one, dog. >> You returned to GTA online for the Dr. Dre heist. I was wondering, have you ever played the Dr. Dre heist yourself? >> Where is that at? >> It's just on the island. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah, I played it. Yeah, man. And I And I enjoyed playing it.
You know, I was I was happy when I got called in for that. You know what I'm saying? And then when they said Dr. Dre and then DJ Pooh and you know, Jimmy Iovine and Slink, you know, Lamar, I was like, "Oh, [ __ ] This is finna be the [ __ ] man." Um Anderson Paak. So, you know, yeah. I played it and I enjoyed it, man. You know, I I didn't understand it at first, but then I was like, "Oh, [ __ ] I'm [ __ ] finally like Franklin really made it.
You know what I'm saying?" But I was sad seeing Chop going out like that. You know, he was old and high eating Lamar's weed and [ __ ] and um but I enjoyed it, man. I played it and I enjoyed it, man. Did you play it? Did you finish it? >> How many of you guys out there did the did the contract? Yeah? All right, good. Good. Good. What about the mansions? Nice. Good. Lot of GTA online folk out there. That's good. That's good [ __ ] That's fun. >> Got one from the gentleman in blue over there? >> Yeah, it's a Paul McCartney. >> Paul McCartney from Sgt.
Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Anyways, I'm really nervous cuz you feel like my idols. Okay, so my question is >> Then why are you dressed as Paul McCartney instead of like >> [laughter] >> Trevor or something. >> I WAS AS TREVOR LAST YEAR. >> OH, OKAY. >> YEAH, YEAH. Like I'm going to go to his panel and I'm going to show him. >> Well, you should have come as Franklin this year. >> [laughter] >> Look at me. >> I'm trying NOT TO. >> OKAY, OKAY.
CAN I ASK MY QUESTION NOW, PLEASE? Thank you. Okay, my question is kind of like a two-parter like the other guys. What got you into acting and what was your first ever role like between the three of you? >> Well, what got me into acting was I I took a drama class in high school cuz that's where the girls were. I thought that would be kind of cool, you know, do that. And then I did a play in high school, Wizard of Oz, I was the Scarecrow.
Yeah, and I had to do like a solo dance and stuff and then solo knows my rhythm. I got I got moves. So, that got me into I just loved it. I fell in love with it, but I didn't do it until like 10 years after college because I was a pole vaulter. I did I was pole vaulter in college and I did that and I kind of just didn't get into it until later. I just said, "Fuck this. I got to go to Hollywood." and I drove to Hollywood and did it.
And that that was kind of it. You know, it's what You got to have a passion for it, man. It's got to be your calling. You know, it's not something you just dive into like half-assed, you know? You just got to be your calling. >> No, you dove into it full-assed. But that was like like, you know, it's got to be your calling, I think. But that was my first thing. >> Mine Mine was with a good friend of mine named DJ Pooh.
He's like my one of my best friends and stuff and he he's a writer and a director. And all his little movies that he did, The Wash, Three Strikes, and he's a writer and a consultant on on San Andreas, you know, and he helped get me into the role of Franklin uh GTA V. He actually called me in for the for the interview for the the casting audition for that. So, it was his movies that I just dove right in, you know? And he and he just he knew I wasn't a like a actor to be like reading scripts and stuff.
So, he just gave me a role that was pretty much me. A [ __ ] in prison. So, it was it was easy for me to just be me. You know what I'm saying? I didn't have to read a a whole script and get out of my stuff. So, it was easy for me to fall into the character. >> If you haven't seen the movie The Wash, you need to watch it if for no other reason just to see Solo in it cuz it's it's pretty funny, man. He's great in that. >> I was 260 lb, 270 or so. >> [laughter] >> It's called The Wash though.
Find it on Netflix. >> Steven >> Play it. >> Yes, Shawn. Oh, wait. Hold on. A package has been delivered to my front door. >> How did you How did you get into it? >> [clears throat] >> Well, Shawn. I was >> 666 >> Or uh for many years I thought it was my own uh brilliance until my mom corrected me as I was doing a podcast I asked her about this incident where I basically played Betty Boop. I dressed in drag in elementary school.
So, that was when I was in maybe grade three or four. >> Amazing how things haven't changed. >> Dressing in drag in my hometown, which was not you know, the most progressive uh town. Um and I thought it was just me being super creative as a child. And my mother corrected me and said, "No, Mrs. Prasso." No, my kindergarten teacher. So, it's [ __ ] kindergarten. It was in kindergarten I dressed in drag as Betty Boop. But it was Mrs.
Prasso. I don't know why she suggested I do this. But that was my first taste of performing. And then I kind of done it ever since. >> Dude, you mentioned about actually liking the food when you're here. What's all three of yours like best thing you've eaten while here or tried something new while you're here? >> Oh, the food. The food You know what? I had a pork chop last night that was like ridiculous. It was It was like the best pork chop I had my life. >> choppy?
Yeah, it was good, man. It was God, it was really good. I had one, Solid Snake had one, and Coach Bart over there from High School Musical we all had pork chops. We were the pork chop boys. Yeah, the pork boys. It's good. So, there you go. >> Have you tried haggis? >> Next question. Somebody rescue us. >> Haggis is really just about the spices, I find. Like, if you got the good spices >> is you just kind of taste the spice. >> I would give you that. >> Uh hey hey real quick, what I got to get used to when I'm coming like to Scotland to like these over the sea shows and stuff, man?
Why do y'all eat pork and beans in the morning? >> Yeah, baked beans in the morning. >> Full English, baby. A full English. You cutting gas all day long after that. >> [laughter] >> Yeah. Yeah, we got to keep Steven away from that because, you know, he he he's he's notorious. So, no big beans. He had those this I saw your plate yesterday morning you had them. That explains a lot of stuff from yesterday. >> on toast, yummy. >> Did you ask to be a part of GTA V or were you approached? >> Uh it was it was you know, for for me it was just it was a normal audition where my agent called and said, "Hey, you have an audition for a video game." And I said, "I'm not doing a video game." And she said, "It's by Rockstar." I said, "Send me the material." You know, and then I went and auditioned for it.
And then we had a callback. Steven and I had what we call an act-off where they brought back two Michaels and two Trevors. And then we, you know, worked with each one of them. And then Steven and I went in last. And for me, it was pretty clear that that was going to be the cast. When when we were in our audition I mean, Steven just chewed up the scenery. It was It was great. So, that's how that's how it worked for me.
It's just a regular audition. >> And I was lucky I got booked. >> That was the same for me. It was a, you know, actors or it's like it, well, not that you're applying for jobs at this point, hopefully, but you just you try for every gig or audition. >> The same for me. It was just, you know, an audition. The same like they did, you know, through Rockstar, but but they didn't tell us what the name was. They didn't tell me.
I was told I was auditioning for a video game called Paradise. >> Yeah, we we auditioned for Rush. >> And um, you know, they never said Grand Theft Auto 5, you know what I'm saying? They just said it was for a video game called Paradise. Cuz Rockstar, man, they move like like real stealthy. They won't tell you everything, you know, you find out as you go. You know what I'm saying? But when I found out after >> in the shadows. >> like my 6 months to 9 months that we were working on >> yeah. >> Yeah, pretty much that we were working on Grand Theft Auto 5, man, I was like, "Oh, shit." You know? >> For Steven, it wasn't until it came out. >> I'm still learning. >> [laughter] >> But but it was pretty much through auditions and stuff, so, you know, if you get an audition, man, go to it.
That's what I tell people that always ask me, "How do I get into this?" For me, it was just I got, you know, the luck of just going to a audition and I'm Franklin, man. >> We were none of us were in a position to be approached, you know, in our careers. We we're not like we weren't in a in a position in our career where they go, "Hey, can you we want you to do this?" You know what I mean? We had to earn it. So, and that's that's basically how it is, you know, in the in the and still is really in the acting world.
That's kind of how it is. So, it's a good question though, buddy. >> Um, this one's for Steven. Uh, Trevor or Simon, which one's winning in a fight? Or do you think they could even be brothers? >> Probably I'd that Trevor cuz he seems a little more unhinged. >> Yeah, Trevor a [ __ ] Maybe they were Siamese twins. >> Yeah, Trevor would destroy Simon. >> Joined at the hips. >> Hey, Trevor will beat the [ __ ] out of Simon.
He was pretty good doing Simon. >> Let's put it this way, Johnny Johnny Klebitz would would have would have kicked Simon's ass and you saw what Trevor did to him. >> I have a question. It was for Shawn. Is it true that you and CJ are both from the real life and if you guys are, do you think you'll ever do a DLC online involving you and CJ something together? >> Yeah, we definitely we real we first cousins to be exact.
That's really my my bloodline, you know, but the second question hell yeah, I would love to do a DLC with him, man. That would be >> That would be amazing. >> amazing. It would be huge, you know what I'm saying? But >> How many people would play that DLC? That that game with CJ and Franklin? >> Yeah, that would be that would be crazy. >> Oh my god. >> But you know, that's that's that's in the hands of the company, you know what I'm saying? >> Well, they're close by.
If we yell loud enough, maybe it could happen. >> And uh Yeah, but definitely they that was damn CJ would be he would be pretty old though. I would have to push CJ around with his cane and [ __ ] you know, cuz he would be pretty old in a in a in a a DLC right now. He would be old. He would be in his 60s for sure. He'd be old as you. >> [laughter] >> Man, that's an old [ __ ] CJ a boomer. >> Of all of all the original heists on GTA online and story mode, what's your guys' favorites? >> Online and story mode?
Probably the big one. >> Yeah, I'd say the big >> The big one is which is kind of why we do that picture at our thing, you know, because the big one is it's it's got the most action, you know, it was the most fun to shoot, I think, because we got to do a lot of that action and then playing it, you know, it's just it's ridiculous, you know, how how crazy it is. But yeah, that was that's probably my most favorite. Although I like the I like the Paleto Bay score a lot.
That was that was fun, too. The one where, you know, and the reason that was fun for me was because we had to wear these 25-lb sand bags on our ankles to emulate us coming out in the armored suits and everything. Try to run in those and do all that. And that was kind of that was that was a real fun one to shoot, you know, until we dove in the train and Steve dove in and farted on us. But other than that, it was really good. >> [laughter] >> So, when you guys are playing GTA, what radio station do you choose to listen to in the car? >> I I'm still stuck on West Coast Classics, >> Man. >> Me, too. >> You know, you can't go wrong with that.
Me being a dude from the West Coast, it's just that's my that's my station. >> Yeah, I I listen to it, too. But I kind of like I kind of bounce around a little bit. I like West Coast Classics a lot and I also like I like, you know, the the pop thing as well. >> I like talk radio. >> Delevigne in there talking to, you know, and stuff. It's kind of cool. And uh and then I I listen to the country [ __ ] too. I just kind of listen bounce around on the whatever Like if I'm playing as Trevor, I'm going to turn on, you know, the country stuff.
And then if I'm playing as Franklin, I go to West Coast Classics. If I play as Michael, I >> I have a question. Hold on. Does the character you play influence the music you get to choose or is the music available for every character? >> Dude, would you you just [ __ ] play the game? [laughter] >> No, but I thought that would >> Just play the [ __ ] game and find out. Every Every time you want to know stuff, >> It did like you know maybe the Trevor character you get you know a certain music.
I think that'd be cool. >> Yes, you can play Broadway pop if you want if you're playing as Trevor. >> you can choose any music. I'm still learning about this game. [laughter] >> Play the game. >> I literally didn't know there was a strip club until where was it a couple months ago? >> until that little 8-year-old kid came in and said he was hanging out there. >> After 12 years of like it was >> get pixelated lap dances from Cheetah and Fufu and Sapphire. >> Vanilla Unicorn is it called? >> Yeah.
No, it's the shoe store. No, it's the shoe store. Their parents still throw shoes store. >> [laughter] >> They're they're going to buy Air Jordans. They're not going there for pixelated lap dances. No, they're not. It's a shoe store. >> Um all right, well for you you what was your favorite part of the GTA 5 production? >> What was your favorite part of the production? >> See, just just going to the set every day. That was like the best the best thing for me just getting picked up in the ride to the set and once you get there is just a a magical experience for you, you know, cuz you're hanging out with people that you just met.
Like I met these guys on set and you also meet the crew and the director and you're just going through the experience of being in a mocap suit, you know, I never in my life thought I'd be wearing a motion capture suit and performing and working like that. So, that was the best experience for me. I'm speaking for me going to the set and filming, you know, I was I got to be a junkie for it even though I couldn't get to the to the reading the scripts real good like the acting part, but it was still going to the set just being involved in that. >> Yeah, I mean that that I think for pretty much all of us is the is the answer to that question.
You know, it's like look you go you you you work a job, right? Now this is a job that we're doing, but there's very few people that can go you know, that wake up you get out of bed, you go, "Fuck, man, I got to go to work." You know? But we would get up and go, "Oh, [ __ ] man, I got to go to work. This is going to be great." Because you never had a bad day on set. You know, the crew was a bunch of these young geniuses that, you know, that just did things that blew your mind every day, you know, and then all of the other actors that came in, you know, forget us.
All the side actors, all the, you know, the the Vicki Vance Tassell and and and, you know, who played my wife >> Best name ever and her real name, too. >> Yeah, great name. And, you know, uh Rob Bogue, who was Steve Haines, Jonathan Walker, all down the line, you know, Slink, um you know, Michael Mauer, who was who was you know, Wade. All these guys, you know, they're just great actors, you know, and a lot of fun and they just gave you so much to work with and and all of them were cool, you know?
That was the the thing, the great thing is that everybody on set was cool. There was never a bad day on set. You can't say that, you know, about a lot of stuff. >> I always tell, generally ad nauseam, to people at the table, it's it's whatever, if it's school or a job or any your family dinner, it's all about the people. Generally, that's what you remember, right? You're with cool people, things are good. If they're not cool people, things aren't as fun.
So, that was the blessing of this is that you get to make friends cuz everyone was wonderful and like to this day we get to do this. >> Yeah, I mean, we've been together 15 years, 16 years now. You know? >> Yeah. >> And you can't say that about a lot of stuff. >> Yeah, which is awesome. That's really it's very cool, very special. >> Wouldn't you trust Trevor to babysit your dog and if not, why not? >> Hell no, he'd probably eat him.
No, no, I would. I would trust Trevor, man, cuz y'all look at the Trevor I look at, yeah, he's a nut, man, but if you also look at him, I think him and Chop would have got along real good. He He have had Chop doing some crazy [ __ ] but >> [music] >> Chop would have been meth, you know, had meth in his system and >> human stew >> starving and crazy, but I think Trevor would have took care of Chop. >> Yeah. >> I don't think did Trevor ever meet Chop? >> Cuz he's with you.
Did he? Someone said yes. >> Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he did. >> Yeah, he did. >> In what circumstance? Like what were they doing? >> I think they were in the >> Hood life, man. Hood life. When you >> Just like hanging >> And he was with Chop and Trevor's there. >> I think I think Trevor and Chop shared the same poop spot outside, right? >> I have a question for all three of you. How much personal like freedom did you have to put your own character into the the characters you're playing? >> So, how much of your how much of your own kind of input and personal touch did you get to put into your characters? >> Uh For me, yeah, I mean For Solo and and me, it was kind of it was kind of different because, you know, Solo's from Watts, California.
He's, you know, he's from the hood and everything and I'm like South Side Chicago. And I've never gone to the loo. And I've never called anybody mate. You know, and I know Solo's never called anybody mate. So, we kind of had to learn a new language called English. When we were doing this show cuz there's a lot of Britishisms and everything. Cuz the writers are Scottish, you know, British and all that. And and so, we had a lot of of freedom to to make the characters our own, you know, which was great.
You know, it felt really collaborative. So, you were able to to bring, you know, to the characters what you wanted to bring to them. You know, like I was able to bring me to Michael or Michael to me, you know, and vice versa. So, yeah, as far as from a creative standpoint, it it it's probably the most creative freedom I've ever had on any job that I've ever done. I think it's it's it was awesome. So, yeah, I mean >> Yeah, it's the same for me, you know, the the when when you get the script and it coming from, you know, the writers and they were writing mate and and [ __ ] I was like me me and me being from Los Angeles, I'm thinking you talking about you know >> He's going to go out and smoke a [ __ ] >> Yeah, gay activity, but I didn't know it was a cigarette. >> That's a [ __ ] for the kids that don't understand. >> So >> [laughter] >> So what I got to do? >> [ __ ] >> So So >> Oral sex. >> So so when uh the other guy uh Lamar Lamar he started improvising a lot with the script and saying what he wanted to say. >> [laughter] >> But he started saying what he wanted to say and uh the director was like, "Yeah, that's who we looking for, Solo.
That's what we want." So I was like, "Oh, I can take mate out and take all this other stuff out?" He was like, "Yeah." >> Yeah, but we said it like a lot of times in these things that that for for you it kind of made sense that Trevor would go to the loo, right? Cuz your mom was British. >> Yeah, so I I kind of got into language. You know, honestly, with any of it with any character it's about the words and the words serve you and the words give you the character.
So when you, you know, certainly with Trevor's colorful language and his expressions, that's sort of sets the the stage for where you go and all you have is yourself as an actor. You know, you're you're not I'm not into you become someone else. You only got you. It's all you are, so you always bring you to a project cuz it's coming from you. If that makes sense. >> [ __ ] >> You were the character. >> Next question. >> There's just a few chuckles coming from this [ __ ] section.
Everyone else is like, "This is terrible." >> Yeah, they're the [ __ ] crowd right here. >> money back? >> Dude's talking about blow. today. >> Especially the little dude here who's been hanging out at the Vanilla Unicorn and denying it. >> [laughter] >> Yeah. >> Hi, so my question's for Steven Ogg, but not for GTA, but your character on Still Here, sir. With your character on Still Here, sir, you you had a quite complex past due to events on trade.
How exactly do you get into that frame of mind for thinking of a character with such a dark past? >> Um it's sort of the the same with every character. It starts with the words. So, the words serve the story and then serve the character as to where it's going. So, that's it's literally all there if it's good writing. The better the writing, sort of easier the job as an actor because you're you're serve you're just of service to the words and that's the story.
So, I always So, for me, it's the words. And how do I get there? It's just repetition, first of all, cuz I got a thick head and it's tough for me to remember [ __ ] But, it's through repetition, a lot of that organically comes by going over stuff thousands of time. >> I have a question for all three of you. What's your favorite part in GTA for all of you guys? >> That we shot? Like favorite thing that we shot? For me for me there's two two cut scenes that that I love and I and I talk about this all the time.
Uh bury the hatchet with Steven where, you know, we go reveal Brad in the grave. Uh that to me was just really good cut scene, really good, you know, the thing. And uh and then the one where I confess to Franklin that I'm working with the feds. And that one's really really near and dear to me because that was the I I always say that was the day that Solo became an actor because when he came on set, he was a little bit you know, he was a little bit tight.
He came from the hip-hop world and he hadn't really done this. He's wearing a mocap suit and everything like that. But, that day when we did that scene, it was like he was so there. you know what I mean? And and just had evolved as an actor and it gave gave me everything that I needed to perform that scene. And when we finished it, the entire crew stood up and did a standing ovation. And it was it was amazing. I mean, that was to me it was the the That was my favorite scene to do.
So, yeah, there's that. And that was that was it was it was all him. It was a very emotional scene, you know, and I got emotional with it and stuff and it just as an actor you're getting fed by your scene partner like that, it's easy to eat, man. So, that was that was my favorite. >> What's your favorite line of dialogue from each other's characters? >> What? >> What line from each other? >> What? That's what Franklin say.
Always [ __ ] saying, "What?" Mine is uh Now, I'm going to go [ __ ] yourself. I like that. That was an improvised line and it was kind of an homage to my wife who was a yoga teacher in real life and so >> I get a lot of people when they come to the table, they always want me to write uh the I pick C. Ain't that a [ __ ] >> That's a great line, man. >> Yeah, that's a good one. >> I had one today that I hadn't heard. There was a couple There's a few lines today cuz I don't remember any of them.
Um but someone today, I don't know if they're here, was about oh dear I didn't even know about this Trevor shoots a deer or something and says, "Oh dear, oh dear." >> Yeah, you go you you go >> And he said it's his dad's favorite line. Was that guy here? >> Yeah, you go hunting. You go deer hunting with uh the dude out in the desert. >> Yeah, I thought that was so great. So, I want to take that now as my favorite line if I can remember it next weekend in Toronto.
I shall say my favorite when you when someone like you gets up and says you know, I'm going to say oh dear, oh dear. That's my favorite line. >> Really? >> Better than [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] >> [laughter] >> Well, yeah, cuz [ __ ] isn't I don't have my [ __ ] socks on today. But if anyone was present yesterday, I did get asked if I had my [ __ ] socks on and I'd be like, "That means I'm wearing socks 2 days in a row.
Gross." >> [laughter] >> So, no, I'm not wearing my [ __ ] socks. But yeah, it is my favorite word. And that was Those were the first four lines I said in the game when I'm stomping that guy's head. >> Close to them, yeah. >> So, that was my first, but now I'm going to say, "Oh dear, oh dear." >> Oh dear, oh dear. Okay. >> All right, this is a quick question for all three of you. I know upon the end, the climax to GTA V, of course Franklin survives, but uh you have the option to either kill Trevor or kill Michael or just carry on playing with the three of you surviving, the trio of you surviving.
In your opinion, which one out the two of you deserve to die most? >> Trevor. >> [laughter] >> For me, that's the only the only ending that made any sense. I mean, there's no way Franklin would kill Michael cuz Michael took him under his wing and made him rich and, you know, all that kind of stuff. And Trevor's a liability. You don't know what he's going to do. I mean, just when he trips over the fence, he almost, you know, pulls a gun on him, you know?
So, why would you kill the guy that made you rich? The only thing that made sense was kill Franklin. Now, I know everybody picked C because that's Death Wish and everybody keeps saying >> Franklin? What the [ __ ] do you mean you killed him? >> Michael, Trevor, >> [laughter] >> Trevor, Franklin, I get you two mixed up. You're so similar. Uh you know, but yeah, I I killed I picked A, man. When I played the game, first time I played I picked A. >> Yeah, I did too. >> [laughter] >> But I also felt bad because of picking A.
Because when you look back at it, even though Trevor was a a psychopath, but he just always [ __ ] looked out. He always made sure nobody did nothing. Like when we were at the drug doing the drug deal and the guy was selling us some some drywall and he stopped it. Remember? He's like, "Wait a minute, let me check this out." >> Right, but that that's the conundrum with him. You know, you don't you don't know. You know, it it makes it a hard decision, which is why in a in a real life situation that that's what you would do.
You either keep everybody alive or you would kill Trevor. You would never kill Michael, ever. >> Yeah, but you would want to kill >> Because then I wouldn't have the mansion's DLC. >> Cuz he cuz he cursed my auntie. I remember he did that. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> I said go buy What he said uh >> I said go I said something something nice, not something expensive. He gave me $7. What? >> What do you think is $7? >> Who would you >> Trevor, Steven. >> Uh Trevor. >> One of the things that many content creators find challenging with like the content for Scotland.
Do you think your characters could survive in Scotland? >> Excuse me? Like could we survive in Scotland like in in in like Wallace times or you know, in the clan times or like like nowadays? Yeah, of course. Absolutely. >> cold cuz I think that being in hot desert weather I don't think I don't think they could deal with the the climate. Thank you, though. >> Hi, you guys. Welcome to Scotland. It's great to see you all.
And I've got one question for you for each of you. Have you guys got any projects ongoing right now you'd like to tell us about in your personal life? And you know, cuz you've obviously been hammered with your GTA V questions. So I'd like to hear from each of you what you've got going on in your lives. >> I'm remodeling my kitchen. >> [laughter] >> Uh >> Is it beige? >> No, no. Beige, beige. I think I'll paint the ceiling beige.
Uh Yeah, I've been I've got I've been recurring on a on a particular series, but I haven't It hasn't aired yet, so I can't talk about it cuz everything's under an NDA anymore, so you can't really talk about what you're doing. But yeah, that's what I've been doing. And just this stuff. And then also I was spokesperson for ASUS uh ROG Republic of Gamers uh gaming computers for those who dare. >> Uh [ __ ] man. I'm just enjoying these Comic-Cons right now.
Um I got something that I've been doing, but I can't talk about it at all. You know, pretty much everything when you're doing anything in entertainment is NDAs. You can't You can't say [ __ ] man. I wish I could tell you, but >> Yeah, it sucks. >> Just living life, man. You know what I'm saying? Enjoying the cons and being a family, man. A husband, you know? And that's like my top of the list thing right now, you know?
And of course, doing like I said again, doing the cons. Getting to meeting the people that, you know, made Franklin who he is and turned Shawn into this celebrity, you know what I'm saying? So, that's about it with me. Steven? >> Uh thank you, Shawn. Um I've got Well, I know I've been trying to think of on Netflix, I think in the fall is a Unabomb. It's about the Unabomber. Uh with Russell Crowe and Shailene Woodley, Alexander Ludwig. >> a NDA on that, would you? >> Uh no, cuz it's out there.
Like it's it's coming out. Uh and then I've just I've I just finished a film that's an anthology film, but you never know when these things are going to come out. And I'm supposed to have my second poetry book out this year, which I've been working on, but I've just been honestly kind of just lazy. I've had the time. But I have this five-volume poetry set that I'm picking away at to get that out. And couple theater projects that I'm hoping to got like a one-man theater show that's being shopped around to like theater festivals, not in Edinburgh, but in Istanbul, Paris, over in Europe.
So, I'm hoping in the fall, Tokyo. I'd love to [ __ ] do that. >> Fantastic questions, fantastic answers. Thank you everyone for all your questions and finally a big round of applause for the cast of Tokyo Ghoul. >> Again, thank you all. >> [applause] >> Yeah, thank you guys so much. >> Thank you. >> So, we got about another hour and 15 minutes. So, come to our tables, say hi. >> What's this, the the wild boss? No. Holy [ __ ] That is a tank in the form of a demon.
What the [ __ ] is that? Infested tank. But, you're like aiming the wrong way.
