I have not seen GOT or Narcos and had no idea who he was when I watched The Mandalorian. What amazed me was how, without seeing his face, I was still mesmerized by the character just thru his voice and body language. So now, watching The Last of Us is such a pleasure.

[@_TheViewer_]

@@meirahand Yep, Mandalorian impresses me the most til today, he gotta use his bodylanguage way more. Honestly the other movies I didn’t really liked because of him or his acting doh. Last of Us is nice, but wouldn’t say it’s top tier Edit I was writing this when jimmy showed the Sunday clip, nah there can be better things coming from him I’m sure ! Not saying he’s bad or not good. But I need more to feel convinced it’s real or to feel the scene while simply watching it from over the tv and not being there.

[@dragonsrule20201]

The Last of Us has been such a monumentally important game to me for so many years, I have a massive attachment to it. I wasn't familiar with Pedro before they revealed that they were casting him as Joel, so I watched Narcos and found him very talented and got excited. Then, I watched interviews and such and became absolutely ENAMORED. It's impossible to dislike this guy. He comes across as so genuine and sweet, not to mention hilarious. Those three words are not typically what you'd associate with Joel Miller, but I thought all the teasers and trailer looked incredibly promising, and then episode one blew me away. Joel is a badass with serious repression issues, but at the core of his character, he's a father whose purpose is to *protect* , and I think Pedro captures the heart of him very well. He and Bella have such great chemistry too, I couldn't be happier.
