Pedro is such a great actor, like he is so funny and a goofball, but then he turns into this tough characters that you'd think never smiled in their life, what a talent

[@DUKE_of_RAMBLE]

Fitting you say this, as I hadn't seen any Behind the Scenes stuff involving Pedro (of anything he's been in). So to see _him_ here, with *his own* personality.... really floored me, to see how different he is. It's a bit surprising when I think about it, that a lot of actors I've enjoyed watching over the years, don't quite have such a massive drift between the characters and themselves. Going a bit beyond just "type casting", but where they're almost _not_ having to act. heh This primary cast on this show, including Joel's daughter in the pilot, really have done an impressive job I think. In that these characters are genuinely being portrayed as people, *not* just characters. I guess what I'm trying at is I've not experienced this sort of "realism" before in other shows, where the characters act exactly how you would expect them to in real life.... 🥴 _(I get immersed in shows, ie The Mandalorian, but there's something different here; in my opinion)_

[@Dma118]

Yea I think actors best roles are when they play someone who is completely opposite to them. Pedro kills this role and mandalorian

[@CataRDJ]

@@DUKE_of_RAMBLE I get what you mean 100%. What they've done is amazing, all the actors made their characters feel so real that whenever something horrible happens it hurts ten times more.

Seeing the trust that Bella has with these men is quite beautiful. It's great to get the sense that she was protected on this project, hope more actresses and actors feel this way with every project they do.

[@roboninja3194]

If she didn't have confidence in herself and is asking why did you cast me that seems very strange. I see people saying they cast the best actor for this role. When she's talking about needing the cast and crew around her to tell her she's done well that doesn't sound to me like they cast the best actor. And like others have stated, she does not resemble Ellie at all. Looks nothing like her.

[@OoXLR8oO]

@@roboninja3194 ?

[@BurnItUpp2009]

Bella is nineteen years old. Maybe like all of us, she needs some reassurance. Especially because she's probably very aware of the backlash her casting received. Anyone would feel insecure after that. She is Ellie. Just because she doesn't look like the game version, who cares. She played Ellie with the spirit, tenacity and vulnerability that was portrayed by Ashley in the games.

[@beastaslayer1411]

Is not that daep my neighbour

[@TeaGamingPanda]

@@roboninja3194 that’s not strange at all. Actors have anxiety and nervousness to a role despite auditioning for them because they’re scared if they’ll be great for the role/show/film to entertain the audience and let alone, like this project, please the fans. Also they’re human Al Pacino denied and was nervous about The Godfather, insisted the role is too big for him. Then they convinced him and hired him. Warner Bros wanted to fired him, Coppola didn’t. So they shot the restaurant scene and Al was incredibly nervous shooting it. Look at him now Also Bella may not look exactly like Ellie (who is?) but she does a phenomenal job acting like her! Her acting alone is phenomenal and her performance as Ellie is outstanding! Why judge on looks when the performance shows? To the point it makes her look like Ellie! Same goes for Austin Butler, no one will ever look like Elvis, but he acted like him that to the point he looks and feels like him! Also casting is a gamble, not every casting director will cast the best actor. Everyone is different also they have to look at audition tapes and see if they’re good enough for it. Mistakes can happen. I’ve seen in theatre where the actors auditioned “good” for that small piece they were given, but once they were handed a more in depth script and character, they weren’t good at all. This on the other hand they casted wonderfully

[@blueskybelyr]

Everyone talks about Bella and Pedro's relationship, but I think Craig and Bella have a really sweet one too. They're so obviously comfortable with each other. I feel bad thinking Bella was putting herself down 😔

[@razvanzamfir1545]

child actors have it difficult with self confidence (she may be a young adult now, but she has been a child actor in GoT). And I'm sure TLOU gamers' reaction to her casting didn't do her any favors. But she crushed it so far and her innocent joy as well as her anger works even better here than in the game IMO

[@bananabread7707]

Bella has been through so much and she was in a better place once she got this role but then the hate started again. I don’t know how she got thought it this time but I’m glad she has Craig and Pedro now to guide her. I hope from now on she loves herself more bc she’s not only a great actor but a phenomenal human being. 🥺 Good or bad people will always talk. Live your best life Bella.

[@IAmABoss2]

In one of the podcast episodes Craig describes Bella as like "an adopted daughter" to him, so it's safe to say they have an amazing bond.

[@ulf7279]

Yeah it seems to me that Craig was a huge support for her getting through all the doubt and hate she'd been recieving.. just the last section with how she talked about trusting people and how Craig reacted was very wholesome, you can see this team really loved each other.

[@brianmayabella5992]

There was doubt. When you ready story, you have an imgination. Like what would a white knight for u to be. Here we have a video game, which establishes what the character would look like and attitude. Which is a more challenging than an interpretation or adaptation from the book

[@supersucks]

This is such a great team! Everyone has just such perfect chemistry & energy. And that translates on screen well. The Last of Us (Part 1 and 2) are some of my all-time favorite games. So I was beyond skeptical this show would work out. I just didn't think they could convey the same emotional response to this story and these characters, as the game did. Episode 1 erased that skepticism for me. That entire beginning scene with Joel, Tommy and Sarah trying to get out of town was so well done. Most of it shot for shot, with some additional information for the viewers to digest. Nico Parker was such a great choice for Sarah, btw. Her portrayal and her acting in that death scene brought the same emotional response it did in the game. Pedro exuded everything we love about Joel. And now, we have Bella stepping into the shoes of Ellie. She has that same precociousness that we came to love about Ellie, but Bella has made it her own. Although, I won't lie, I did envisioned Kaitlyn Dever playing the part. Nonetheless, it is working. And each episode is bringing familiarity, while at the same time fleshing out storylines and this world beyond the game. It has been emotional, well written, a masterclass in cinematography and a truly excellent adaptation so far. So glad this show is delivering because it is a story that deserves to be seen by people far beyond just the fans of the game.

It's so wonderful to see not only the actors but the creators of the characters to understand them so well, to work on them and put their imput when needed and for the characters to be and grow according to what they are without having them feel fake or exaggerated. The Last of Us is some of the only piece of media I've seen that's been doing it so well.

Honestly after finishing the series I’ll get myself a console just to play this game. I love story and the characters/ show cast have such a beautiful vibe. Truly a masterpiece :D

[@hamedfkh5553]

And this is going to be one of your best decisions of your whole life bro ... definitely the best way to experience this emotional story is to experience it as a video game ... trust me

[@hamedfkh5553]
