inte inte INTERVIEW BY GALAXY INTRO BY ETHAN BREHM
The Canadian-born actor has made a name for himself as one of the best in the fandom world at crafting a character that audiences love to hate. In The Walking Dead he portrayed the ruthless and unpredictable Simon, and again in Westworld with his turn as the sadistic Rebus. However, his role of Pike in Snowpiercer is slightly adjacent. Pike is an escaped convict, sure, but the mercurial Tailie seems to be a bit more for his people, at least as long as it serves his own survival. While Pike isn’t a stereotypical antagonist, he’s just as morally ambiguous as Ogg’s most famous roles. Ogg, himself, is the exact opposite. A man of principles, the mordant actor isn’t afraid to speak his mind about how we should all just be kind to one another. After all, shouldn’t it just be that easy? A fan of civil discourse, he talks about the toxic nature of social media and how it’s potentially destroying our ability to just have a respectful debate. Known for his projects that feature notably large casts of characters, Steven always manages to stand out in every show he’s on, which is a testament to both his talent and charisma.
