In a sprawling chat with the BBC (shout out to PC Gamer), it was me, the guy who brought Joel Miller from The Last of Us to life and still holds the role of Booker DeWitt close to my heart, who shared an intriguing tale about Todd Howard’s initial reaction to my casting as Indiana Jones. You see, Todd had been harboring dreams of crafting a genuinely authentic game centered around this iconic IP, and when my name was floated for the role, he reportedly let out a sigh, rolling his eyes at the prospect. His concern stemmed from the belief that my voice might disrupt the gaming experience for fans who were accustomed to it.
