“When we came out, I said to Steven, ‘I don’t know about me, pal, but you’re booking this thing’,” Luke remembers.

Even the camera operators were into it, eagerly capturing the pair going at it like old frenemies. There was a shove, a smack, there was a block - all this stuff going on.” We smacked each other because it was a kind of physical scene. We basically threw the scripts down and just went,” Luke tells me, boxing at the camera. “I said to Steven, ‘How did that feel to you, man?’ He wasn’t very forthcoming, but I was like, ‘My guy sucked’.” Next the other Michael and Trevor went in, leaving Luke and Ogg alone in the waiting room. Steven Ogg was called in first with the other potential Michael actor and Luke went in with the other potential Trevor. I just went with gut stuff because it was very hush, hush what was going on. When something really reads well, for me, it’s really easy to remember. “It didn’t worry me because as soon as I read that stuff I had it down. “I knew right then that he was out,” Luke says. It was ridiculous.”Ī dark look came over the other Michael’s face as he frantically began reaching into the pockets of his sports jacket, pouring over the old material to get a grasp on the character and apply it to the new lines. So we go in there and the assistant comes up and goes, ‘So here’s the material we want you to do today.’ It was like seven pages. So we get there and everybody had prepared the same material from the original call. They brought in two guys for Michael and two guys for Trevor, and they also had me learn the Trevor stuff. “The callbacks were interesting,” Luke explains. The other actors were also fighting for the parts of Michael and Trevor. He was called in with Steven Ogg (Trevor Philips) and two other actors for a kind of chemistry test. Now Luke was an ex-semi-retired actor, stepping into the shoes of a semi-retired career criminal. Just when he thought he was out, they pulled him right back in again. It was what turned out to be that opening scene with Dr. “So I looked at the audition material and I went from ‘I’m not doing that game’, to ‘Ain’t nobody else doing it’,” Luke laughs. He was familiar with Rockstar’s work - he just didn’t connect the artist with the art. The only one I knew was EA Sports: Big, from SSX Tricky, which was my favourite game.” What would I want to do a video game for? I’m an actor’,” Luke remembers. “I was like, ‘I’m not going to do a video game.
