During the first encounter between Trevor and Nigel, Nigel and Mrs. Thornhill start groveling at Trevor's feet, repeating "we're not worthy" after they mistake him for a famous actor.

One of Steven Ogg's influences when he was portraying Treavor Philips in the game was actor Tom Hardy; specifically Hardy's performance in the 2008 film Bronson.
"He was able to walk that line of psychopath and entertainer while maintaining his sense of humor in some pretty dark places. I'm always inspired by intensity and those that take great pride in what they do - be it an actor, painter, musician, writer, or arborist."
As well as some music which Ogg would listen to, to help imagine Treavor.
