Which seems like the right choice.

Vetern voice actor Troy Baker wasn't going to audition for Indiana Jones at all, apparently—because he didn't think he'd be able to pull it off. Despite that, Baker will be the voice of the famous archaeologist and pulp hero for Machine Games' sprawling and very large adventure Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

"I originally passed [on the Indiana Jones role] because, truth be told, I was so scared that I would not be able to pull it off. And fortunately, [voice acting director] Tom Keegan saw past my insecurities and encouraged me to put myself on tape for this still," said Baker in an interview with GamesRadar+.

What's funny is that Bethesda Game Studios head Todd Howard didn't think Troy Baker was a good choice for the role—though he obviously came around on casting Baker before the end.
