    Nolan North (Known for: Nathan Drake, Uncharted | Desmond Miles, Assassin's Creed | Penguin, Batman: Arkham City | and more) 47%

    Assuming they're the only two choices for a male boss. This is a toughy.

    Troy Baker/Voice 1 for my first, "canon", playthrough. Nolan North for my second playthrough.

    While he was my choice in SRTT (and loved him), I'm afraid I'm going with Nolan North, because he's American. Unless the game explains how a Brit because the US president.

    Troy Baker. I enjoy him more. Also, Nolan North has never told anyone to get bent.

    My guy in SR is always black (modeled after me) so neither one of them would fit him. The black voice actor has always been good so hopefully he's still around.

    I don't know if I can imagine a Boss that doesn't have the black dude's voice. That just IS the Boss to me.

    It was either that or pick one of the actors to do the voice of the main character but pick one of the "female voices" or "zombie voice" to do the internal monologues/voice overs.

    Oh man, there's three separate voice actors(Laura Bailey,Troy Baker and Nolan North) I want my character to be voiced by. Guess that means three playthroughs.

    Female 1. Laura Bailey is pretty damn good in 3. Next run, probably Troy because Kanji. Then Nolan North.

    That would be the most amazing thing ever. You could act like a zombie with a human mind.

    From what I'm to believe, the Hispanic female voice unfortunately isn't returning. Neither is the Russian Lady voice at that, though there's the return of an African American female voice, and SRIV will be introducing a saucy French lady Boss, too. So, silver lining and all that :P

    It's really hard not to play as Laura Bailey when you can play as Laura Bailey. It's also really hard not play as Troy Baker, make him look like Kanji and run around crushing all the gangs.

    Femshep is pretty damn badass though.

    Nolan North because it's the joke voice. I'd probably pick the Troy Baker voice again, but I don't think I'll be playing it twice.

    Neither. Laura Bailey was way too good in SR3, I have to choose her again.

    I'll probably go Nolan North for a second play through.

    Considering I don't see either as the true voice of The Boss (Robert Atkin Downes), I'll say that generally I prefer Troy Baker's work.

    Before The last of us i would have said Troy, purely because he seemed to have a much better range.

    After the credits rolled though and i realised who Nolan had voiced, i was legitimately impressed by his performance, both of them in fact put in a great shift - couldnt really call on this one!

    Nothing against Nolan North, but I'm enjoying Troy Baker's work more at the moment. So I guess I'd choose him.

    So tough to say. I'm leaning towards North, because he isn't in as much as he was before, but they'll both be amazing.

    Both talented voice actors, so far North has proven he has more range. Did you know he was in the last of us? I sure didn't till the credits rolled, point made.
