Would've been shit any other way

I like Troy's anecdote on this. He was about to leave the room, because he was surrounded by actors that looked exactly like Joel, and he was this young skinny, blond guy, he thought he didn't have a chance. But it was too late to leave, so he had to walk in there and do the audition.

Even with game capture it doesn't matter what you look like, it matters how well you can voice act. He was also already pretty well established, not nearly as he is now, by then and most of them being in games.

I don’t know where Troy found Joel right out of the gate like this, but it comes out of him like a separate being.

In the scene where Ellie brought up Sarah, Joel said that she was "treading on some 'mighty' thin ice" in the final cut. Aside from reminding us that he was a Tex, it felt less threatening than Troy's audition take, where he says "treading on some 'very' thin ice." I kinda prefer the final take because of what Joel and Ellie's relationship had become by that point. But, it's neat to see how Ashley and Troy played these characters before they were more established with their roles (still boss acting, which shows how boss those two are).

I don’t exactly have any plans to become an actor, at the moment. But actors like Troy and Ashley certainly make me think about it from time to time. I’m a very emotional guy and appreciate a lot of the heavy scenes these guys do and love the emotions I get from watching them. It makes me think about how fun it would possibly be to do that myself.

They were perfect for the roles.

If I recall the story correctly, that first guy had pissed Ashley off (who was already cast as Ellie) for some reason and she was in a bad mood from it, and Troy came in and somehow sensed she was upset, and asked if he could give her a hug. That was a pivotal moment for her.
