- Is the third actor to play Pea Eye Parker. Timothy Scott played the part in Lonesome Dove (1989) and Sam Shepard played the part in Streets of Laredo (1995). Baker is the only one of the three who, like his character, is from Texas.

- Some of the things I'm most proud of, it isn't because I think it's my best work; it's because of something that it's taught me.
- Definitely when you get handed roles like Joel in 'The Last of Us,' that's something that will change your life, and I learned so much from that role.
- I'm always nervous! Especially when it comes to a series like 'Disgaea', where you do have such a devoted fan base, the last thing you want to do is disappoint. But I love playing bad guys and just always hope that fans will be forgiving if I miss the mark.
- A lot people ask me, 'How do I become a voice actor?' and, well, first of all, drop the 'voice' because you don't know what mechanics you'll have to employ. If you can just focus on the acting, then the rest will come.
- I don't ever want it to be about me. A friend of mine told me, 'The difference between fame and notoriety is fame is when people know you, and notoriety is when people know your work.' The first one is not respectable, but the second one is, because that leaves a legacy.
