Who plays Higgs in Death Stranding?
Troy Baker plays Higgs Monaghan. Kojima Productions describes Higgs as the Man in the Golden Mask, leader of Homo Demens and an opposing force to Sam. Baker called Higgs a counterpoint to Sam: “He acts as the cat to Sam’s mouse” and serves as “the seed of doubt” and “the catalyst.” Those descriptions are Baker’s account of the character’s role in a Kojima Productions interview published July 1, 2022.
