Dee Bradley Baker is among the most prolific voice actors out there. He’s had roles in Avatar: The Last Airbender, Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, and many more. Star Wars fans know him best as the voice of the series’ many, many Clone troopers across animation and video games. He tells Polygon that while there are certain clones that have really stuck out to him — Fives, Mayday, Captain Rex — he “can't really pick a favorite.”

He doesn’t keep track of how many he’s voiced in total, instead leaving that to the fans. “The fans do that very well,” he says with a laugh.

Those fans all have their favorites, some of whom Baker can’t recognize. “Sometimes they bring to me [memorabilia] to sign at a convention for a clone that I don't remember,” he admits. Baker still strives to make each clone their own unique person — even if he can’t remember them all.

One of Baker’s newest clones is Trick, an operator in Bit Reactor’s Star Wars Zero Company. Baker calls Trick an “unusual guy.” He was injured prior to events of Zero Company and was slated to be decommissioned, but instead later joined the misfits that make up the mercenary group. “There's something kind of wily and relatable and fun about the guy to me,” Baker says.

Baker approached Trick the same way he does all his clones: by learning what the writers are looking for. “The question of the individuality and uniqueness of a particular clone tracks back to the script,” he says.
