@@ekuda neil literally helped with the casting for the show and he’s the one who made the characters. now are you saying he has no idea what he’s talking about?
It's so good to see HBO and Naughty Dog work so close together on this one especially bringing in the voice actors from the game and giving them roles like this. This is how it's done
As a fan of the game,Its definitely a good adaptation but they changed weird details so who knows how the rest of the episodes will turn out. Its not perfect though. That being said though I'm still going to watch it.
The TV show is the first I've ever known of him because I'm not a gamer & I've fallen in love with his voice. Glad they've given him the podcast to do (& looking forward to seeing him in the show). I wonder if he's done any audio books...? 😍
Troy Baker is so funny and love that very quickly commented that he would die immediately in the beginning of the apocalypse. And also him pointing out that he's wearing cashmere.😂
@@knight-mares This is promo material for the show though. It's a good thing that Troy is involved in the adaptation and is given proper recognition for his role in shaping the character of Joel in the source material. That Troy Baker is a household name in the gaming sphere is obvious (to gamers).
HBO is doing it so much justice and… after seeing all of these failed video games adaptions… it’s awesome knowing that this is doing well and is universally liked already by the majority of people.
@@shahanahsan05 yeah you can see Ashley Johnson in the trailer holding baby Ellie, she's playing Ellie's mom in flashbacks, I suppose instead of Ellie reading the letter from Anna Ashley will say it to baby Ellie and then gives her to Marlene because like we know from the game letter she knew she was going to die and Marlene is the only one that knew Anna, she promised to look after her. So my guess is the finale starts with that flashback as it will be Marlene's last episode, Merle Dandridge is the only actor playing the same character in the show mostly because she's a professional actress. The other actors work mostly in video games.
Almost every reviewer I've seen has sung their praises about the Bill and Frank episode. Now here's Troy himself calling it one of the most beautiful episodes in all of television. I can't tell you how excited I am for it.
When I saw the preview for it after episode 2 I was so thrilled, I know Nick Offerman is going to give a fantastic performance as Bill, and it will be so interesting to learn more about his backstory with Frank.
Just from the way Troy talks about the story, you can tell just how profound of an impact it had on his life. He's so passionate about the work of art that essentially cemented him as one of videogame's greatest actors
@@bowi1332 Ashley probably appears in the finale and gets her own interview. But it seems they've chosen Troy to do behind the scenes commentary after every episode. Maybe Ashley gets to do it for season 2, all the after episode commentary.
After seeing the 3rd episode, I understood what Troy meant when he talked about Frank adding a new layer to the characters. Damn that was a powerful episode.
I love that they got the original Joel describing what is...one of the best pilot episodes I have ever experienced. It feels and looks so beautiful, I can't wait for more. Also, his whole fit with that jacket and hat....badass, lol
I'm so glad that this show and all the production actually acknowledges the original team and cast, The Last of Us wouldn't have ever been The Last of Us without them and I just think it's so cool and respectful for them to be involved in this production as well, watching new life go into this story and its characters. It's amazing. Also i just love Troy's work as is so seeing him anything is always a win for me.
Man, its good to see a show that takes the source material to heart. Its also freaking great to see Troy, Ashley, and Niel closely involved in the recreation of this amazing story... and yeah... you're gonna cry
I couldn't agree more with what Troy mentioned about Frank's story. Watched this video a few days ago, but I never would have imagined that Troy wasn't exaggerating. Bill and Frank's story really is one of the best episodes that I have watched so far.
@@smegintheheads822 he talked ad nauseam on Play Watch Listen about how he realized he was wrong about that. His friends reached out and he was humble enough to listen.
I love how he's simultaneously precious and not all precious about the character. Like you can tell, from this, and hearing him talk elsewhere multiple times that he loves Joel and what playing him has meant to him, but then also just being totally open and welcoming and supportive of someone else playing and interpreting the same character.
I think it’s so amazing that Troy had to make the games acting out of a blank white sound stage and then gets to become apart of this whole production with actual sets and costumes
I met Troy about 5 years ago at a Comic-Con style event and he is awesome in person. I cosplayed as Booker DeWitt that he voiced in the Bioshock game and had the Skyhook weapon with me. I walked in to take my photo with him and he, without asking, took my Skyhook from my hands. Who I am to stop the real Booker from having his weapon lol. So I have a photo of Troy and me in a action pose with him using the Skyhook. :)
Or Sam drake or Batman or joker or two face or pagan min or Talion from the Mordor games or Magni from God of War or the lead guy from infamous or Bruce banner or Kanji from persona 4 or Vincent from Catherine or ocelot from metal gear or the main guy from bioshock infinite or Rhys from Tales from the Borderlands. Phew. That was a lot. Haha, Troy is in like every good video game ever.
Obviously having Neil involved is a huge reason for it but I’ve never seen an adaptation of a video game that has this much respect for the property it’s being adapted from. In the first episode there were a lot of changes made from the game, but they all worked to make the story and world from the game work better in the show (at least so far!) Having Troy and Ashley involved, Marlene’s original actress reprising her role, and a truly ridiculous commitment to translating the visuals and environments from the game onto the screen means the people making the show seem to genuinely love what the game is and it seems like they’re doing their best to make the adaptation as effective as it can be. Can’t wait to see where it goes from here!
Also as a born and raised Seattleite it would be incredible to see Part 2 if it ever happens. The game was incredibly accurate, some sections were nearly 1:1 recreations of places I see almost daily, and it would be amazing to see that in an adaptation as well
@@Laizerdisk it also would be great to see a spin-off about Miller brothers surviving these 20 years into pandemic. I was hoping to see this plot as a DLC to the TLOU part 2, but unfortunately it's never happened.
Bruh….I was crying my eyes out. What a show. They managed to take the perfect video game story and make it into its own perfect tv show. One of the things that they both share is that sense of hopelessness and uneasiness even when it’s over. It sticks with you for a while. That first episode. Wow.
Honestly, the show has already completely wowed me. I CAN'T WAIT for what's to come. Plus, I can't wait to see Troy & Ashley's cameos. I know this series is going to be incredible. So glad that Troy & Ashley have been so involved, you can tell they both have so much love for it after all these years.
You just know that this show is going to be incredible, because Troy and Ashley support it that much. It is so satisfying to see that HBO pays them he due respect and involves them so much in the show.
I am very pleased to see that they give Voice Actors the same recognition they give screen actors. For the longest time VAs have been seen as second class actors despite doing the same work.
"Yeah, we have monsters that are attacking us and yeah there are vicious people that are doing horrible things to survive but at the end of the day it's how these two people feel about that." AMAZING.
I'm so happy to know that Troy and Ashley continue to be involved with anything related to The Last Of Us, no matter how many years have passed since the first game.
This is seriously the first show that can success to bring people inside the world of video gaming. It's the perfect link between show and videogame. This should be the reference to do ANY show based on a videogame.
I just watched the first episode and I loved it! Pedro Pascal did an amazing job, he portrayed Joel beautifully. I just have to say that, since I played the game multiple times, Troy is forever going to be the real Joel to me and I’m so happy he’s been fully involved in the creation of the series.
I don’t really get Joel from Pedro.. just Mando cos the character is so similar. Which is why I semi wish they’d picked Nikolai Coster - - but Pedro’s not bad.
One of my favorite little moments is when Joel is using tape (aka binding) for Tess' ankle and hands Ellie a rag for her wound. Two critical items used for crafting in the game. It felt like a wink to the game.
He went from having an ego that was stopping Sarah's death scene from being perfect to realizing "Joel is bigger than any one performance." Troy will always be Joel for me, but that is beautiful.
Here’s a fun Easter egg: after Joel came home from work at the beginning of the first episode, he was shown with a DVD of Curtis and Viper 2, one of the movies Ellie mentioned watching with Joel.
The chance to see some of the things we previously had only read about through artifacts in the game be fleshed out in full is amazing. I am already in love with how faithful this adaptation is and the additions that we’ve seen in the first episode. Can’t wait for episode 2!
Got to meet Troy at fan expo in Toronto this year. His line was massive but he took as much time as he could with every fan whether they paid for just an autograph or a the package with a picture or whatever, treated everyone with respect and they basically had to force him to keep the line moving.
English speaking people can't pronunciate all Spanish names, because they don't pronunciate the R as we do or at the end they prolongue the O. Like in Diego Luna. The "Luna" they can say it right.
@@rorocio93to be honest there’s also a little dilemma whenever you pronounce foreign words. You want to be respectful, but even if you know how to pronounce it correctly, you don’t want to sound like you’re trying too hard or are showing off. Especially if you’re not Hispanic/Spanish, it sounds weird to suddenly bust out a perfectly pronounced Spanish word in the middle of an English sentence. 😅 I’m ethnically Chinese. I’m not fluent in Spanish but I know how to pronounce words with a decent Mexican accent. It just draws attention to yourself to trill your Rs and roll your RRs. 😅 Honestly I usually end up splitting the difference between Spanish and English pronunciations. 🤷🏻♂️

this is such a great way to promote the show while paying respect to the actors that began this world. VO actors are so underappreciated. This show is so wonderful :)
I love and appreciate his honesty and self awareness of his vulnerability to an apacolyptic event. Most people don't assume this very likey result of themselves. If something happens and a huge percent of the population is killed off, you're probably one of the dead. He gets that. Most don't.
to be true, it wasn't netflix fault, the witcher's author explicitly prohibited anything to do with the game, the guy considers gamers stupid and games incapable of telling as good a story as books
It just occured to me that there will be people who watch this show, fall in love with it, then play the video game for the first time ever, and be completely immersed in their new favourite show. I’m really jealous of those people.
Rushed?, Cutscenes and dialogues alone for the first game is less than 4 hours long, the first episode was basically half of that and there's 8 more to come.
Cody Travers - there were a few elements of the episode that the game did better - like the outbreak, the chase and Sarah’s death… but yeah it did feel rushed - cos originally they wanted to the 1st episode to end with Sarah’s death THEN the time jump occurs.. still a great start tho.
What I love and respect immensely is that the studio really seems to actually respect the source material i.e. the game. Far too often to studios fail to do so, to the detriment of the adaptation. This has really been great to see, and I eagerly await new episodes.
I wonder why Troy doesn't do bigger roles. I've really enjoyed his voice work since I heard it for the first time playing Infamous Second Son I’m talking about live action stuff.
I'm so excited for Murray Bartlett's performance as Frank. Dude was INCREDIBLE in White Lotus and Welcome to Chippendales. I won't be surprised if he has me sobbing that episode.
It really feels like coming full circle first playing the game in 2014 and started streaming it on twitch then finding out a show was coming then as well
I am still in awe of this man. As an amateur voice actor myself, all my voices still sound quintessentially "like me". Meanwhile I'm sitting here listening to Troy talk and I can't hear Booker DeWitt or Arkhamverse Joker despite the many hours I spent with both!
I fell in love for TLOU in part because of Troy and Ashelys ´performances. They deserve all the love from us This show would not be happening without both of them
I remember the first time I played the last of us part 2 after waiting for years, I cried so much that night that I couldn't continue playing and didn't feel good for days.😢 The story and characters are tremendously well created and beautiful.
I am beyond excited to see Frank and Bill. Crying over Sarah and Tess is something I've done for 10 years but I don't think I'm mentally prepared for this relationship.
Without Troy and Ashley there would be no show. Their work made the characters that we all learned to love. I am so happy that they are getting the recognition they deserve!

this is such a great way to promote the show while paying respect to the actors that began this world. VO actors are so underappreciated. This show is so wonderful :)
I'm hoping we get this scene.
Ellie: "Why are the pages stuck together"
Joel: "😶 uhhh."
I love and appreciate his honesty and self awareness of his vulnerability to an apacolyptic event. Most people don't assume this very likey result of themselves.
If something happens and a huge percent of the population is killed off, you're probably one of the dead. He gets that. Most don't.
As always hbo delivering quality content the last of us is an incredible adaptation of the game applause 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I don’t know how Troy could swap his voice and made that signature Joel’s voice
I hope Troy does his cameo with his Joel voice
I really hope Troy and Ashley has a little cameo in this show. Would be so awesome!
They really have
I love how the relationship between the game and the series is respected by HBO. Something the Witcher series severely missed!
I agree
to be true, it wasn't netflix fault, the witcher's author explicitly prohibited anything to do with the game, the guy considers gamers stupid and games incapable of telling as good a story as books
Bill and frank made me cry sooooooo much
“Yeah, right, guy in the $2,000 sweater is gonna survive the apocalypse 😆”
It just occured to me that there will be people who watch this show, fall in love with it, then play the video game for the first time ever, and be completely immersed in their new favourite show.
I’m really jealous of those people.
Yep, that's me
Anxiously waiting for the upcoming episodes and the pc release of the game coz I never had a PlayStation
This man is a living legend.
The GOAT of voice acting.
This is amazing. Love all of those involved on this show.
god he's so dreamy. that face and the voice are just so perfect
A little rushed, but I bet this is going to be one if not the best show of the year
Rushed?, Cutscenes and dialogues alone for the first game is less than 4 hours long, the first episode was basically half of that and there's 8 more to come.
Cody Travers - there were a few elements of the episode that the game did better - like the outbreak, the chase and Sarah’s death… but yeah it did feel rushed - cos originally they wanted to the 1st episode to end with Sarah’s death THEN the time jump occurs.. still a great start tho.
how dare you think anything else than "perfect show"
I meant my comment was rushed, since only one episode is out atm, don't get me wrong, as a hardcore fan of the game I loved the first episode
How is it rushed? We got to spend more time of the world before the outbreak started
What I love and respect immensely is that the studio really seems to actually respect the source material i.e. the game. Far too often to studios fail to do so, to the detriment of the adaptation. This has really been great to see, and I eagerly await new episodes.
I wonder why Troy doesn't do bigger roles. I've really enjoyed his voice work since I heard it for the first time playing Infamous Second Son
I’m talking about live action stuff.
Bro, Troy basically has a monopoly on main character voices in the media; what are you talking about...
He's the most famous actor in the biggest entertainment industry on the planet, there's more to life than movies and tv.
Basically every big roll in video games is done by Nolan North or Troy Baker
@@ben1ben2ben1 nolan is kinda doing less for the last couple of years. Wonder if he is in any big production right now
Didn't Baker play the bloody JOKER once of twice.
At first I was skeptical at the show, but the more Ashley and Troy had shared their thoughts, I'm so excited!
It’s about time Troy gets some decent recognition outside the gaming community.
It's no surprise they want this guy on everything. I can listen to that sweet voice all day long xD
"This is Kashmir" lmao
It's so crazy that Troy Baker is this super well know video game VA because I know him from so many anime and always thought of him as an anime VA
This is cashmere 😂😂
Love troy baker so much. What a great voice actor and human being
Original daddy Joel 😩🤤
Yes 😏😏
I'm so excited for Murray Bartlett's performance as Frank.
Dude was INCREDIBLE in White Lotus and Welcome to Chippendales.
I won't be surprised if he has me sobbing that episode.
Thanks for taking the time to answer Joel. I showed the show to my 50s old non gamer father. He loved it.
Troy is so chill
He's an exception spokesperson and advocate isn't he? He really gets the whole promotion assignment
"I'm the first to go. This is cashmere... ." I laughed loudly.
It really feels like coming full circle first playing the game in 2014 and started streaming it on twitch then finding out a show was coming then as well
Glad that the OGs get their share of praise, we wouldnt be here without em
the cadence and certain tones of his voice is just like joel
I am so happy to see the OGs! Pedro and Bella are great but Troy and Ashley will never be replaced
I am still in awe of this man. As an amateur voice actor myself, all my voices still sound quintessentially "like me". Meanwhile I'm sitting here listening to Troy talk and I can't hear Booker DeWitt or Arkhamverse Joker despite the many hours I spent with both!
I fell in love for TLOU in part because of Troy and Ashelys ´performances. They deserve all the love from us This show would not be happening without both of them
Troy is very articulate! Love seeing him involved
I remember the first time I played the last of us part 2 after waiting for years, I cried so much that night that I couldn't continue playing and didn't feel good for days.😢
The story and characters are tremendously well created and beautiful.
I am beyond excited to see Frank and Bill. Crying over Sarah and Tess is something I've done for 10 years but I don't think I'm mentally prepared for this relationship.
Without Troy and Ashley there would be no show. Their work made the characters that we all learned to love. I am so happy that they are getting the recognition they deserve!
Love this so much.
