Catherine O’Hara on Her Scene-Stealing ‘The Last of Us’ Character, Why Pedro Pascal Is Like Meryl Streep and Catching COVID While Making ‘The Studio’
"The Last of Us" guest star Catherine O'Hara discusses playing a therapist, why Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey are like Meryl Streep and making "The Studio" with COVID.
SPOILER ALERT: This story discusses major plot developments in “The Price,” Season 2, Episode 6 of “ The Last of Us,” streaming on the service currently known as Max. When “The Last of Us” co-creator Craig Mazin called Catherine O’Hara to offer her a role in the second season of the HBO series, she was tickled by the idea that she’d be playing a therapist in a post-apocalyptic society. O’Hara has been making audiences laugh since her days on the Canadian sketch comedy series SCTV in the late 1970s through her standout performances in films like “Beetlejuice” and “Home Alone,” the Christopher Guest comedies “Waiting for Guffman,” “Best in Show,” “A Mighty Wind” and “For Your Consideration” and her Emmy-winning role on “Schitt’s Creek.” But while she’s tackled dramatic roles before, she’s never been handed a character quite as intense Gail — the only trained mental health professional within the community of Jackson, Wyoming, who offers her services in trade for pot and booze.
