With a change in actor for Joel in The Last of Us, things were always going to be different, and in a recent interview Troy Baker has shared his thoughts on Pedro Pascal.
Last night’s episode featured one of the more challenging story beats from the original game, and in it you might have noticed a familiar face: Baker himself. While Baker played Joel in the original, obviously Pascal took over the mantle for the live action adaptation, with this episode being more of an extended cameo. Baker recently spoke with Total Film (via GamesRadar) about his role on the show, and what he thinks about Pascal taking over the character.
“What I love is that you don’t necessarily think Pedro Pascal, but the second that you mention the name, you go, ‘Okay, okay, I can see that,'” Baker responded when asked about Pascal’s take on Joel. “And then you see him as Joel, and then you watch him as Joel. And what it showed me was that thankfully this character is bigger than any one performance. If it had just been like, I’m the only one who could do it, then we didn’t do a good enough job. This character needs to be bigger than one actor.”
