In the weeks following Borderlands 3?s announcement earlier in 2019, there was confusion concerning Troy Baker?s absence. Fans wanted him to reprise the role of Rhys, who he voiced in Tales from the Borderlands. Yet, someone else was hired in his stead. Back and forth between Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford and Baker on the matter failed to clear anything up. Now Baker has revealed what he believes to be the true reason behind Gearbox?s going in a different direction. Allegedly, the company didn?t want to work with a union actor.
During a fan event for Troy Baker?s and Nolan North?s Retro Replay, Baker spoke with VG247. In an interview with the publication, the actor addressed his disappointment in being unable to return to the series as Rhys.
