== Overview ==
Greg may have been cut to eliminate the cost of hiring a new voice actor, instead using [[Ellen McLain]] to voice Caroline.
According to the ''[[Portal 2 - The Final Hours|The Final Hours of Portal 2]]'', one of the reasons Greg was cut was to eliminate the cost of hiring a new voice actor that only played a small role, instead of reusing [[Ellen McLain]] to voice Caroline. {{spoiler|Doing this also provided a background for GLaDOS, due to the usage of same voice actors.}}
