My Take
Troy Baker is one of those rare performers who makes you forget you're listening to a voice actor — and that's saying a lot when you realize how many iconic characters he's carrying at once. Joel Miller in The Last of Us alone would be a career-defining role for most people, but Baker stacked that on top of Booker DeWitt's haunted gravitas in BioShock Infinite, the roguish charm of Sam Drake in Uncharted 4, and dozens of other roles across a generation of landmark games. He brings a weathered, emotionally grounded quality to almost everything he touches, and you can tell he's actually acting, not just reading lines. The guy is also a musician, which honestly explains a lot about the rhythm and texture he finds in his deliveries. For my money, he's the definitive voice of the modern action hero — conflicted, tired, and completely compelling.
