Baker reveals that he initially hesitated to take on the Indiana Jones role out of fear, saying, "I originally passed because I was so scared that I would not be able to pull it off." His self-doubt highlighted the pressure of emulating such an iconic character, but encouragement from director Tom Keegan helped him face his insecurities.
Baker emphasizes the audition process, noting, "We saw over 1000 people for this role, and so not only am I in competition with all those truly talented people, but I'm also in competition with myself." This underscores the immense challenge he faced not only from others but also internally as he aimed to portray Indiana Jones authentically.
Reflecting on his initial nerves, Baker states, "And then finally, there was a Zoom call with the MachineGames team, and they said 'we want to walk you through the story' - by the time they were done walking me through the story, I was beyond excited." This pivotal moment turned his anxiety into enthusiasm for the role.
