Harrison Ford praises the “brilliant” performance by Indiana Jones by Troy Baker in The Great Circle

Harrison Ford It does not slightly distribute congratulations, especially when it comes to Indiana Jones. For over four decades, Ford was Indy and as far as he is concerned and fans, no one else entered that fedora, at least in live-action.

But with the video game Indiana Jones and The Great CircleMachinegames and Bethesda decided to bring the legendary archaeologist to the games e Troy Baker He was in charge of the almost impossible task of channeling Ford’s iconic performance without transforming him into an imitation.

If you played, then you know it nailed it!

Ford himself gave Baker to his public stamp approving the Game Awards 2024, saying playfully: “If I had known it was so good, I would have done it alone”.

Ford has doubled his praise in a recent interview with Wall Street Journal magazine while discussing his career and growing dependence on Hollywood Dalla to recreate the actors.

“You don’t need artificial intelligence to steal my soul. You can already do it for Nichel and Dimes with good ideas and talents. (Baker) He did a brilliant job and we didn’t want artificial intelligence to do it. “

It is an extraordinary approval, not only of Baker’s performance, but of the idea that the real talent can (and should) replace the growing push for the performance generated by the AI.

It is interesting to note that Baker was not even the first choice of the study. Todd Howard from Bethesda revealed that they initially had reservations about throwing him. But after multiple blind auditions, Baker’s grip on Indy continued to climb to the top and could not ignore it. They launched the best actor for work.

For any actor, entering the role of a beloved character has immense pressure. Be praised by the man who is Indiana Jones? It is an incredibly interesting honor.
