Yes, That’s Josh Peck in ‘The Last of Us.’ Here’s How He Landed That FEDRA Role and ‘Jizzboy’ Speech
Josh Peck appears in 'The Last of Us' as a FEDRA soldier in Episode 4. Here's how he landed the role.
Josh Peck, the Nickelodeon icon who also stole scenes as a Manhattan Project scientist in “Oppenheimer,” popped up at the beginning of HBO’s newest episode of “The Last of Us.” He delivered a memorable monologue as Janowitz, a Federal Disaster Response Agency soldier who bonded with his brothers-in-arms by telling them an expletive-ridden story about detaining “voters” — the ironic FEDRA nickname for Quarantine Zone residents who’ve had their rights stripped away. It turns out in the show, Isaac is a FEDRA sergeant who betrays his own men to help the local rebels, who are led by Alanna Ubach’s character, Hanrahan. It was just an audition that came in and, like most great writing, when I read the scene, I was like, “I think I know how to do this.” I sent it out into the universe and hoped, but sort of didn’t expect to hear anything back because I don’t usually get things as good as this.
