What games is Troy Baker in? The ‘Indiana Jones’ game actor’s best voice roles

The Dial of Destiny was one of 2023’s biggest flops but, as many soon-to-be-dead Nazis have discovered, just because you knock Indiana Jones down doesn’t mean he’s out of the count. Wolfenstein developer MachineGames has now unveiled Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which allow players to don that fedora and crack that whip.

But, while the in-game Indy faithfully recreates Harrison Ford’s Raiders of the Lost Ark-era visage, Ford isn’t providing the voice. That falls to veteran voice actor Troy Baker and, judging by the trailer, he’s absolutely nailed both Ford’s voice and Indy’s character.

Whether you know Troy Baker’s name or not, you’ve almost certainly heard his voice. So, here are his most famous roles and why he’s the perfect voice actor for the role.

Joel Miller – The Last of Us Part 1 & 2

The Last of Us‘s tormented father figure is easily Baker’s most famous role, with his gravelly, worn-out performance filling in the blanks of this closed-off character. Despite being primarily a voice actor, Baker also provided motion capture for Joel, resulting in arguably the single greatest dramatic performance in gaming.

Baker’s work was recognized in HBO’s adaptation. While their Joel was Pedro Pascal, Baker was cast as a minor character in the episode “When We Are In Need”, and he and Pascal compared notes on how to best play Joel.

Agent Jones – Fortnite

Fortnite actually having a plot is usually a surprise to those who don’t play it, but there’s a surprising amount of lore bubbling away behind the scenes. At the core of it is Agent Jones, who is effectively the protagonist of the game and the prime mover behind its plot.

And, you guessed it, Troy Baker voices him. Admittedly Fortnite lore says that those stuck in “the loop” (i.e. the battle royale) can’t talk, but when Jonesy does get to open his mouth it’s Baker doing the voice. This makes Troy Baker the de facto lead voice of the biggest game on the planet. Not bad.

Higgs – Death Stranding

Hideo Kojima’s bonkers post-apocalyptic ghost-sensing baby delivery man sim has an impressive cast including Norman Reedus, Lea Seydoux, Mads Mikkelsen, and Margaret Qualley. But he also made some room for Baker, who’d previously played Ocelot in Kojima’s Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

Higgs is a typically bizarre Kojima villain with a penchant for chewing scenery and Baker ably delivers the goods. In a fun twist, as the game’s characters are modelled on the actors playing them, this is a rare game in which Baker’s own face is used. He’ll reprise the role for Death Stranding 2 and we can’t wait.

Batman – Telltale series & LEGO series

Baker’s deep voice and knack for gravitas make him an ideal Dark Knight, as proven by his extensive
