Troy Baker works on versatility rather than volume, and the catalogue keeps proving that the quieter choice was the correct one.
The essay
Our editors on the work, the patterns and the reason this body of work holds together.
Troy Baker appears in 18 films in the Nutevio catalogue, and none of them would work the same way without Troy. Batman and Superman: Battle of the Super Sons is the clearest case: a film rated 7.6 by our editors, where the performance carries weight the script only implies.
The recognisable elements are versatility, transformation, screen presence. Watch two of these films back to back and the method separates from the material — the same instrument, tuned differently for mystery, science fiction, horror. It is a style built on what is withheld as much as what is played.
Working with Mark Fischbach, Brandon Vietti, Jeff Wamester and others, Troy Baker helped set a standard other performers now audition against. Awards bodies have been slower than the work, which is usually the sign of a career built on choices rather than campaigns.

The defining work
#1
Adrian Veidt / Ozymandias / Minister / Benny Anger (voice)
Watchmen: Chapter I (2024)
Performance score8.0
The performance the rest of the career is read through. Adrian Veidt / Ozymandias / Minister / Benny Anger (voice) gives Troy Baker a structure to work against, and the film hands over its centre of gravity without hesitation.
View movie#2
Adrian Veidt / Ozymandias / Derf / Laurence Schexnayder / Gerald Grice / News Announcer (voice)
Watchmen: Chapter II (2024)
Performance score7.9
Watchmen: Chapter II asks for something the previous films did not, and gets it. Adrian Veidt / Ozymandias / Derf / Laurence Schexnayder / Gerald Grice / News Announcer (voice) is played without a single line of pleading for the audience's sympathy — which is exactly why it lands.

Batman vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles asks for something the previous films did not, and gets it. Batman / Joker (voice) is played without a single line of pleading for the audience's sympathy — which is exactly why it lands.

Best entry point
as Adrian Veidt / Ozymandias / Minister / Benny Anger (voice)
Start here. Watchmen: Chapter I is the clearest statement of what Troy Baker does — accessible, 84 minutes, and rated 7.4 by our editors. No context required.
Our editors order this path by accessibility first and chronology second. You meet Troy at the most legible performance, then move forward in time so each film reads as a response to the one before it rather than a repetition of it.
Scooby-Doo! Stage Fright (2013)
Keeps the animation register of Watchmen: Chapter I but asks for a colder reading of it.
Batman vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2019)
Keeps the comedy register of Scooby-Doo! Stage Fright but asks for a colder reading of it.
Batman and Superman: Battle of the Super Sons (2022)
Keeps the action register of Batman vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles but asks for a colder reading of it.
Watchmen: Chapter II (2024)
Keeps the science fiction register of Batman and Superman: Battle of the Super Sons but asks for a colder reading of it.

Categories of our own
Six editorial categories we apply to every performer we cover.
Most rewatchable
Batman and Superman: Battle of the Super Sons
as Bruce Wayne / Batman (voice)
The one that survives a fourth viewing. Nothing in the performance depends on surprise, which is why it keeps paying out.
Most emotional performance
Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes & Huntsmen, Part Two
as Batman / Bruce Wayne (voice)
Grief played at conversational volume. The film never asks the audience to cry; the performance simply makes it difficult not to.
Most influential performance
Scooby-Doo! Stage Fright
as The Phantom / Lance Damon (voice)
You can hear this reading in other actors' auditions a decade later — the surest measure of influence there is.
Best ensemble performance
Hideo Kojima: Connecting Worlds
as Self
Work that makes everyone else in the frame better without ever pulling the camera towards itself.
Career defining performance
Watchmen: Chapter I
as Adrian Veidt / Ozymandias / Minister / Benny Anger (voice)
If the career had to be argued in a single scene, our editors would pick one from this film and rest the case.
In their films' words
“You can build a whole film around a performer who knows when not to speak. Troy Baker has known it for a long time.”

Ours alone
Recognitions handed out by this desk, on criteria no awards body uses.
Modern Classic Performer

Defining performances delivered inside the last twenty-five years, in films already being taught rather than merely remembered.
Animation Legend
Awarded
15 catalogue titles in animation, each one a reference point for the films that followed.
Our desk
Best ending, best opening, best twist and the rest — categories we apply to everyone we cover.
Best ending
Scooby-Doo! Stage Fright
as The Phantom / Lance Damon (voice)
The last five minutes reorganise everything before them, and hold up when you already know what's coming.
Best opening
Batman: The Long Halloween, Part One
as Joker (voice)
A first sequence that states the rules of the film without explaining a single one of them.
Most emotional
Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes & Huntsmen, Part Two
as Batman / Bruce Wayne (voice)
The film where the technique steps aside and lets the feeling arrive undefended.
Best twist
Watchmen: Chapter II
as Adrian Veidt / Ozymandias / Derf / Laurence Schexnayder / Gerald Grice / News Announcer (voice)
A reversal earned by information the film gave you and trusted you to misread.
Best visual achievement
Batman: The Long Halloween, Part One
as Joker (voice)
Images that would survive with the sound switched off.
Best action sequence
Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes & Huntsmen, Part Two
as Batman / Bruce Wayne (voice)
Geography, stakes and consequence held in the same frame — spectacle you can follow.
Best dialogue
Batman vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
as Batman / Joker (voice)
Lines written to be spoken, staged so the pauses do half the work.
Most underrated film
Scooby-Doo! Stage Fright
as The Phantom / Lance Damon (voice)
The public vote sits below ours on this one, and the direction is the reason for the gap.
