Pedro Pascal Relates to His The Last of Us Character Because He's 'Fiercely Protective' of 'People That I Love'

'I kind of feel their pain,' actor Pedro Pascal said of his role as Joel in the HBO series 'The Last of Us' at a press conference for season 2's April 13 release.

He seemed eager for the hit show's second season, which is based on the video game The Last of Us and attributed the series' success to the work that went into its production. "Under such extreme circumstances, I think that there's a very kind of, like, healthy and sometimes sick pleasure in that kind of catharsis, in a safe space to, to see human relationships under crisis and in pain and intelligently draw political allegory, societal allegory, and based off of the world that we're living in, and very beautifully and intelligently." The second season of the show is predicted to reflect The Last of Us Part II video game and will bring back beloved cast members as well as introduce new faces to the plot, including Catherine O'Hara.
