Troy Baker is one of the original actors of The Last of Us and he can assure you that the show is going to be great.
Baker played a villain in the new Last of Us game. There will be a brief role forAshley Johnson in the movie.
Baker has a vested interest in the series, but he has been a huge fan of the show. Baker says that he would like to change some things about his performance if he could.
Baker is on AlanahPearce's play, watch, listen show.
"What (Pascal) proved is that this character is bigger than any one performance. Man, it's also earned... I am inspired by Pedro's performance as Joel. I wish that I could go back and do some things different."
Everyone involved with the show has tried to make it as faithful to the original as possible, but it was always going to be a risk to cast new actors for the show. Pedro Pascal took a break from The Mandalorian to film this other major role, one where he'll actually be visible this time, but so far, everything we've seen from him in the trailers looks like he's going to be a spot-onJoel. The narrative is reinforced by Baker's reviews.
As for Ramsey, she didn't play the games on purpose because she didn't want to end up doing just an impression of Johnson's performance, and be too influenced by it Ramsey has received more criticism than most in regards to the project where people don't think she looks like her character in the game. I think Ramsey will do a good job.
We are close to the Last of Us. It will be a replacement for House of the Dragon and The White Lotus on Sunday, January 15th, which will make it a must-see on Sunday nights. I think we're in for something significant, given all the talent on board, and that it's being treated like a flagship production.
