Here's a feel-good story to brighten your day. Liam McIntyre, the man playing Logan in Marvel's Wolverine, apparently left a serious impression on his co-stars — and not just because of his performance.
Troy Baker, a familiar name to anyone who plays games, recently heaped praise on McIntyre. According to Baker, after years of working across film, TV and games, McIntyre ranks right at the top of the list of leads he's ever shared a project with.
"In my entire career, I think he's the best lead I've ever worked with," Baker said. "He threw himself completely into this role."
That dedication apparently extended well beyond the recording booth. Once McIntyre wrapped his work on Marvel's Wolverine, he personally thanked the people who helped bring the game together — and he didn't show up empty-handed.
According to Baker, McIntyre put together a batch of genuinely thoughtful gifts: PS2-era-style themed discs, commemorative pins, and handwritten thank-you letters. And these weren't just for his fellow actors. They went out to the entire production team — crew members, assistants, camera staff, and other folks who worked on the game.
Baker made a point of stressing one detail in particular: "Everybody got one."
That's the kind of thing that builds a reputation fast. On a big game production, actors are usually just one piece of a massive machine, and the hundreds of people behind the scenes rarely get a spotlight. McIntyre choosing to thank all of them says a lot about how he approaches the job — and it clearly stuck with Baker.
It's a small gesture, but those are often the ones people remember. Marvel's Wolverine doesn't have a release date yet, but stories like this make the wait a little more fun.
