Video games like Overwatch offer various opportunities for voice actors to perform as many unique characters. The futuristic superhero game offers a diverse and compelling cast of characters and none stranger than the Wrecking Ball, or rather the enhanced hamster Hammond who pilots the large mech.

Video games and the superhero genre are no strangers to having intelligent or even superhuman animals joining in on the action. Overwatch mixes the two together with the heroic gorilla Winston and the addition of the intellilgent hamster Hammond in the game. Recently, an Overwatch fan and Reddit user pointed out this connection between the two again concerning the game's resident hamster hero and his voice actor.

Reddit user founderofshoneys pointed out that Wrecking Ball has the same voice actor as another rodent character in the film The Suicide Squad. The voice actor in question is Dee Bradley Baker, a prolific American voice actor with quite the background of voice-acting roles in entertainment, including video games. In the film, Baker is credited for voicing Sebastian the Rat, the rodent companion of the supervillain Ratcatcher 2 played by Daniela Melchior.

Dee Bradley Baker had many voice acting roles in various popular animated shows, films, and video games. Plenty of which were brought up in the Reddit post by many users who are fans of Baker's extensive list of characters over the years. Users repeatedly brought up his work voicing the many Clone troopers from the popular 3D-animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. He continued to voice the Clones in both EA's Star Wars Battlefront 2 and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.

As far as animal characters go, Baker voiced many animal characters over the years, some more popular than others. A notable example is Baker's role as the animal secret agent Perry the Platypus from the Disney cartoon Phineas and Ferb. Baker also voiced Appa and Momo, the animal members of the main cast from Avatar: The Last Airbender. So when the fan brought up that Baker voices both Wrecking Ball and Sebastian the Rat, many fans were delighted by this.

Gamers will recognize Baker's voice talent from his recent role as Variks from Destiny 2: Beyond Light, and Ra's al Ghul from Batman: Arkham City and later in Batman: Arkham Knight's dlc Season of Infamy. Fans also talked aboutThe Gravemind in both Halo 2 and Halo 3, as it's also one of the voice actor's roles. To most of the Reddit commenters, Baker voicing both Hammond and Sebastian the Rat was a welcome surprise.
