Last of Us Creator Explains Why Original Voice Actors Were Cast In ... (Screen Rant)

The Last of Us creator, Craig Mazin, explains why a pair of voice actors from the original video game were cast in the popular HBO adaptation.

As the show continues Sundays on HBO, audiences will see how Baker and Johnson contribute to the show in this new phase of the expanding The Last of Us franchise. Merle Dandridge voiced and performed Firefly leader Marlene in The Last of Us and The Last of Us Part II video games. An early The Last of Us trailer depicted Johnson as Anna giving birth to Ellie, however, details surrounding the event have been kept under wraps. However, for HBO's adaptation, the prominent voice actor will portray James, a senior member of a violent group of survivors Joel and Ellie are set to encounter on their long, arduous journey. For both The Last of Us and The Last of Us Part II video games, Baker voiced and performed Joel. It's a dramatic genetic connection between the game and the show.

Here's How HBO's The Last Of Us Actors Compare To Their Video ... (/FILM)

The HBO adaptation cast Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey in the roles, but how do they stack up to their video game counterparts' legendary and heartbreaking ...

Overall, if the first episode is any indication, "The Last of Us" is headed in the right direction. Overall, while this Joel isn't as physical as the constant bare-knuckle fighting Joel of the game (yet), Pascal maintains the same visceral nature of the character in subtle and more intense ways. Their new versions of the characters have me, an avid fan of both games, hooked and more than ready to see this relationship blossom again. ["The Last of Us"](https://www.slashfilm.com/1127283/the-last-of-us-trailer-breakdown-the-zombie-apocalypse-has-never-looked-this-good/) spectrum is Ellie, a character so integral to the story that even though players didn't control her for most of the first game, she was at the forefront of the first game's cover (which stirred [weird and unnecessary controversy](https://metro.co.uk/2012/12/13/naughty-dog-refuses-sexist-box-art-for-the-last-of-us-3315463/)). Ellie's clever and quick on her feet in the first episode of the series, something underplayed in the earlier parts of the game but which audiences can enjoy right off the bat in the pilot episode. Of course, Ramsey's version of the character maintains the same foul-mouthed nature of Johnson's Ellie in the game, somehow coming across as charming while yelling obscenities at Joel. Thankfully, [Pedro Pascal](https://www.slashfilm.com/877782/pedro-pascal-shares-the-awesome-story-of-how-he-was-cast-in-the-mandalorian/) and Bella Ramsey more than rise to the occasion — they make the roles their own in new and exciting ways. Joel Miller, the character gamers control for most of "The Last of Us Part I," is just as stoic and intimidating in the live-action series thanks to Pascal. [the Mandalorian,](https://www.slashfilm.com/925310/the-mandalorian-season-3-trailer-this-is-the-way/) so this father figure role is nothing new to the actor. At this point, tons of viewers know Pascal as the space dad that is Now along comes "The Last of Us," an HBO adaptation of another Naughty Dog video game that relies even more heavily on the dynamic between its two main characters, Joel and Ellie, portrayed by Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson in the video games. [entirely hinging on the relationship of a parental figure and a younger female companion](https://www.theverge.com/2013/9/19/4744008/making-the-last-of-us-ps3), so to say the relationship between Joel and Ellie is essential to the series is an understatement.

Here's everywhere you recognise the mega famous cast of The Last ... (The Tab)

Pedro Pascal as Joel Miller · Bella Ramsey as Ellie Williams · Anna Terv as Tess Servopoulos · Gabriel Luna as Tommy Miller · Merle Dandridge as Marlene · Nick ...

Pedro Pascal plays the lead role of Joel in The Last of Us, and – as a massive fan of the game – he’s a stroke of perfect casting. Lamar Johnson and Kevionn Woodward play Henry and Sam, who Ellie and Joel meet in the game. The actress is the daughter of Thandiwe Newton. Murray Bartlett plays Frank, who apparently has a bigger role in the show than he does in the game. In a production that has resulted in the most expensive TV production to ever come out of Canada, The Last of Us does the impossible: Exists as a genuinely amazing video game adaptation. He’s everything players will imagine the hero as in live action – and he plays the hell out of the emotional opening masterfully.
