If you pay any attention to voice actors in video games, it's likely you will know who Troy Baker is – he's one of the best people in the business. Born in 1976, the American began his career in 2004, giving his voice to Kagan and Severin in Bloodrayne 2, and later helped him create unforgettable creations of Kanji Tatsumi in Persona 4, Tim Drake, Two Faces, and even the Joker in various games in the Batman: Arkham series, James Sunderlanda in Silent Hill 2 HD, Booker DeWitt in Bioshocku Infintie, Drake himself in Uncharted 4, Pagan Mina in Far Cry 4, and, last but not least, Joel in The Last of Us. He voiced characters in over a hundred games!
Tory Baker also boasts a rich experience in voicing anime characters – he playd in hits such as Naruto, Bleach, Fullmetal Alchemist, One Piece, Code Geass, or Soul Eater. On top of that, he also voiced some characters in Marvel's animations, most often Loki and Hawkeye.
In Death Stranding, it will not be the actor's first encounter with Hideo Kojima. We could previously hear him in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, as the voice of Revolver Ocelot. In the game from Kojima Productions, he will enact Higgs, "the man in the golden mask," associated with the separatist militian "Homo Demons." This group fights for independence of Edge Knot City, often resorting to violent methods. This puts Higgs and his organization at odds with the main character of the release.
