Prolific voice actor Troy Baker has revealed how he managed to land the role of villain Pagan Min in Far Cry 4, and it turns out it involved threatening to murder an assistant.
Speaking at a panel for Indy PopCon 2015 (via Underground Geek Network), Baker talks extensively about his history with voice acting as well as reminisces about some of his most successful roles. The entire thing is worth a watch, but a particular standout moment is when he recalls how he landed the role of Pagan Min.
He explains he was trying to channel elements of Christoph Waltz's character in Inglorious Basterds - someone who is clearly a psychopath, yet has immense fun with it. To this end, when he relayed an exchange that took part when the casting assistant in charge of making sure the room had enough coffee and water in walked into the room.
