The announcement of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle by Wolfenstein developer MachineGames has brought excitement back to the franchise after the disappointment of 2023’s The Dial of Destiny. The game features Troy Baker as the voice of Indiana Jones, despite Harrison Ford not providing the voice.

Troy Baker, a veteran voice actor, has an impressive portfolio of roles, making him well-suited for the iconic character of Indiana Jones. Here are some of his most famous roles:

  1. Joel Miller – The Last of Us Part 1 & 2: Baker’s portrayal of Joel, the tormented father figure in The Last of Us series, is widely recognized as one of his most famous roles. His performance, combining a gravelly and worn-out voice, earned acclaim for its contribution to the narrative.
  2. Agent Jones – Fortnite: Baker voices Agent Jones, a central character in Fortnite’s plot. Despite the unconventional narrative of Fortnite, Baker’s voice work adds depth to the character, making him a key figure in the game.
  3. Higgs – Death Stranding: In Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding, Baker plays the character Higgs, a typically bizarre Kojima villain. Baker’s ability to deliver a compelling performance aligns well with Kojima’s unique storytelling style.
  4. Batman – Telltale series & LEGO series: With his deep voice and gravitas, Baker has become an ideal voice for Batman. His portrayal of the Dark Knight in Telltale’s Batman series and various LEGO incarnations showcases his range.
  5. The Joker – Arkham Origins: Baker’s versatility shines as he takes on the roles of both Batman and the Joker in Arkham Origins. His portrayal of a younger version of the iconic villain, following Mark Hamill’s lead, is noteworthy.
  6. Booker DeWitt – BioShock Infinite: Despite the mixed reception of BioShock Infinite, Baker’s performance as Booker DeWitt is still praised. His voice work contributes to the game’s narrative, even if the overall reception of the game has changed over time.
  7. Talion – Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor / Shadow of War: Baker’s role as Talion in the Middle Earth games showcases his ability to portray complex characters. The sad dad archetype in a fantasy setting allows Baker to demonstrate his impressive range.
  8. Samuel Drake – Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End / The Lost Legacy: In the Uncharted series, Baker plays Samuel Drake, the disreputable older brother of Nathan Drake. His chemistry with fellow voice actor Nolan North adds depth to the narrative.

Troy Baker’s extensive experience and skill in voice acting make him a fitting choice for the voice of Indiana Jones in the upcoming game. While the absence of Harrison Ford’s voice may disappoint some fans, Baker’s ability to capture the essence of iconic characters suggests an exciting portrayal of the adventurous archaeologist.
