The Last of Us star Pedro Pascal has spoken about the importance of blind casting in Hollywood productions.
about casting and how limiting characters to specific racial identities can be constraining for a story. He noted that even though “people get so butthurt” about that sort of thing, it’s “the coolest way of moving the needle.”
“I think that the change is really important and that the best way to continue representation is exactly as you put it — just casting a person into a role that isn’t … not limiting a character to its racial identity,” Pascal explained.
Season 1 also featured Nico Parker, Anna Torv, Melanie Lynskey, Murray Bartlett, Nick Offerman, and Storm Reid. It also included guest-star appearances from the original video game’s actors Jeffrey Pierce, Merle Dandridge, Troy Baker, and Ashley Johnson as new characters. The series is executive produced and co-written by Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin and original game writer Neil Druckmann, who is also serving as one of the directors. It is a co-production with Sony Pictures Television in association with PlayStation Productions. Executive producers are Carolyn Strauss, Naughty Dog President Evan Wells, and PlayStation Productions’ Asad Qizilbash and Carter Swan.
