Troy’s career in the entertainment industry started out with radio commercials. His voice-over work began when Chris Sabat chose him to voice-over for the English version of anime show “Case Closed”. This led to him working with anime such as “Bleach”, “Dragon Ball Z”, “Naruto”, “Naruto:Shippunden” and “One Piece”. However, his involvement in the video game industry began by voicing Matt Baker in “Brothers in Arms”, a Gearbox Software’s World War II themed video game. Of course, all these projects added steadily to his net worth.
Some of Troy’s most notable roles came in 2013, when he voiced Booker DeWitt in “BioShock Infinite” and did the audio-visual performance of Joel in “The Last Of Us”. Both of these games gained excellent critiques, earning an impressive score of over 90% in Game Rankings and Metacritic. Troy was nominated for the Best Voice Actor for both of his roles, and won for “The Last Of Us” in 2013. Among others, this performance brought him another accolade. The same year “Entertainment Weekly” listed him as the best breakout actor in the video game industry, in their “Best of 2013” issue, as for example he is one of the few people who portrayed Batman, The Joker and Robin in different video game parts. All have added consistently to his net worth.
Baker recently started voicing Siris, an “Infinity Blade” hero and Tailon, the “Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor” protagonist which earned a 9.3 rating on IGN.

He is currently a member of Akira Yamaoka’s band “Silent Hill”, in which he is both a vocalist and the bass player. Baker released his first solo album in October 2014, called “Sitting in the Fire”.

He is very good friends with his colleague, voice actress Laura Bailey, with whom he has starred in a great number of games. Another one of his friends is Travis Wilingham, also a voice actor, who was Baker’s best man at his Games of Thrones’ themed wedding.
Talented and successful, yes, but that kind of net worth from video games and anime, both of which don’t pay residuals? Doubtful.
