The Last of Us’ original Joel actor will make an appearance in Episode 8
The Last of Us is one of the most famous video game franchises of all time. Hence when the TV adaptation was announced a few years ago, a lot of fans got really excited, and had high expectations for the series. The early fan casting for the show of course began with the game’s original cast, as everyone loved Troy Baker as Joel. He will be returning to The Last of Us universe to play a completely different role.
Who is Troy Baker?
Troy Baker is a voice actor and musician who has voiced characters from some of the most famous video games that include: Joel Miller in The Last of Us franchise, Booker DeWitt in BioShock Infinite (2013), Samuel “Sam” Drake in Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End (2016) and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy (2017), Rhys in Tales from the Borderlands (2014), Snow Villiers in Final Fantasy XIII (2010), Kanji Tatsumi in Persona 4 (2008), Higgs Monaghan in Death Stranding (2019), and Talion in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor (2014) and Middle-earth: Shadow of War (2017), and Magni in 2018 God of war.
Who will Troy Baker play in The Last of Us episode 8?
In the new teaser trailer for The Last of Us episode 8, we see Ellie being chased by a group of cannibalistic hunters, which also matches the game’s storyline. Baker will make his debut in the episode as James, a hunter from the group and looks like he doesn’t want Ellie to join as she will be just “another mouth to feed.”
What is Troy Baker doing now?
Baker is currently working on the upcoming video game Death Stranding 2, as well as the animation that will arrive later this year: The Legend of Vox Machina. He is also the host of the official The Last of Us podcast released weekly by HBO on YouTube.
