Baker's involvement is a testament to Druckmann's unwavering faith in his talent. "In a heartbeat, I would always work with Troy," Druckmann stated. Their history is extensive, with Baker lending his voice to Joel in the acclaimed The Last of Us series and Samuel Drake in Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy – projects largely overseen by Druckmann.

Their professional relationship wasn't always smooth sailing. Early on, differing approaches to character portrayal led to creative friction. Baker's meticulous approach, often involving multiple takes to achieve perfection, initially clashed with Druckmann's vision. However, this initial tension ultimately forged a strong bond, culminating in Druckmann consistently casting Baker in subsequent Naughty Dog projects. While Druckmann describes Baker as "a demanding actor," he also lauds his performance in The Last of Us Part II, noting Baker's ability to surpass even Druckmann's own expectations.
