Nick Offerman Slams “Homophobic Hate” Aimed At His Episode Of ‘The Last Of Us’ In Indie Spirit Awards Speech


Actor Nick Offerman addressed "homophobic hate" against his much lauded episode of 'The Last of Us' at the Independent Spirit Awards on Sunday.

I’m astonished to be in this category, which is bananas,” Offerman began while on stage to accept the prize for Best Supporting Performance in a New Scripted Series. Offerman also won an Emmy for his turn on The Last of Us as Bill, a gay survivor of a zombie apocalypse, whose decades-long love story with Frank (Bartlett) is chronicled in what has been perhaps the most discussed episode of the show’s first season. Starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey — the latter, also nominated today — the show is currently in production on its second season.
