Troy Baker, the voice of Joel in The Last of Us and the Joker in Batman: Arkham Origins, once got fired from the original Fullmetal Alchemist anime because he couldn’t perform a 30-second evil laugh. In a recent interview with Party Chat, Baker explained that he auditioned to play Greed in the 2003 anime. His first line was a long, increasingly crazy laugh, and it went terribly. “We tried for about 15 to 20 minutes on that one ’cause every time I laughed, it was awful. It was kind of like when you let air out of a balloon… it was not good.” The director eventually asked him to leave the booth, and Baker was replaced by Chris Patton. Years later, Baker auditioned to play the Joker, a character famous for his laugh. He also got another chance to play Greed in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.
