And that's because Harrison Ford made a special effort to praise the newest and shiniest Indy imitator, Troy Baker, for the voice actor's well-received performance in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
It all went down at the Game Awards a few days ago. You weren't cool enough to get an invitation, so let's set the coordinates on the Dial of Destiny...
Perhaps for the first time, not one but two Indiana Joneses have graced the stage together.
Yesterday evening at The Game Awards 2024 in Los Angeles, Bethesda’s director Todd Howard and actor Troy Baker arrived to present the award for Best Performance. Baker has recently taken on the role of our favorite archaeologist in the newly-released Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which premiered earlier this week. But as Howard playfully observed, in spite of all of Baker’s many celebrated roles in games (such as Joel Miller in The Last of Us), he has yet to take home a Best Performance win of his own. “They do give an award for best Indie game,” Howard then clarified, “and I think everybody here can agree, you make a great case for best Indy performance.”
Howard quickly added, however, that “there was another guy though…. I wonder what he thinks?” The iconic “Raiders March” was then heard as Harrison Ford himself entered from backstage to a standing ovation. “While you’re on your feet, let’s give a round of applause to these two guys for The Great Circle,” Ford told the audience. “I think this guy did a great job,” he added, pointing to Baker. “If I had known he was so good, I would’ve done it myself.”If it's justice for Doug Lee you want...talk to Sternhart and Costa.

Makes more sense if he was so bad, no?
