"He did a brilliant job, and it didn’t take AI to do it"

Harrison Ford reckons Troy Baker's acclaimed performance in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is proof we don't need AI to replace voice actors.

Talking to WSJ (thanks, Culture Crave), Ford once again praised Baker's performance, calling it "brilliant." This comes just weeks after he took the stage at The Game Awards 2024 and said Baker did "a great job" playing Indy, which is quite the turnaround for the actor, who said back in 2019 that "nobody else" could play Indy.

Although he's obviously not pro-AI performances, Ford's also not terribly worried about his likeness being replicated in the future, telling WSJ "my plan is to keep working behind that face till I don’t care what happens anymore," and adding, "there won't be any need for me. There's somebody behind me. Doing what I did."

I cooked recipes from Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and made some wonderful fishcakes – and got food poisoning.

I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
