"I Feel Like I Just Got Started": Troy Baker Reflects on His Career and Future in Gaming Troy Baker, the acclaimed voice actor known for his iconic roles in games like The Last of Us and Death Stranding, recently turned 50 and shared his thoughts on his career during an interview with GamesRadar. Despite his extensive work in the industry, Baker expressed that he feels "like I just got started," emphasizing that he is far from done with his career. Baker discussed his approach to each role, noting that he often feels a sense of discovery at the end of every project. "At the end of every job, no matter the size or scope of the role or the project, my last session is always the one where I go, 'OK, now I've got it figured out. Can we start?'" he said. This sentiment reflects his belief that each project offers new opportunities to grow and refine his craft. He elaborated on how he carries lessons from previous roles into future projects. "I always feel like I've got one take in me, one better take in me, one other idea that I wanted to try, or I've learned enough about the character, the story, the process, to where I feel more equipped," Baker explained. He acknowledged that this feeling is common among actors but stressed the importance of applying these lessons to future work. "The goal is then to take that lesson that I learned from this project and apply it to the next, and realize that I will be in better service to the next project if I learn as much as I can from the last one." Baker’s career spans a wide range of games, from indie projects to major titles.#naughty_dog #the_last_of_us #troy_baker #gamesradar #death_stranding
