Troy Baker is like the Swiss Army knife of voice acting—if the Swiss Army knife were ridiculously charismatic and could sing like an indie rock star. This guy doesn’t just “play a role”; he becomes the role. Need a brooding antihero with a heart of gold? He’s Joel from The Last of Us. Want a flamboyant villain who radiates chaos? He’s Pagan Min from Far Cry 4. Oh, and don’t forget Booker DeWitt in BioShock Infinite—because apparently, existential crises sound better in his voice.
He’s also one of those rare voice actors who can make you laugh, cry, and question your life choices in a single scene. And if he’s not stealing the show in a video game, he’s probably serenading a room full of fans with his guitar because, yes, of course, he’s also a musician. Honestly, the guy’s talent feels like a glitch in the matrix—someone nerf him already!
In summary, Troy Baker is what happens when you max out charisma, talent, and versatility in a character creator and then break the game.
