Pedro Pascal cries as he thinks about the memories he missed…
Craig Mazin was brought to tears by a scene in The Last of Us where Pedro Pascal gave his best performance as a father. The co-creator of the show was also the director of the first episode When You're Lost in the Darkness, where Pascal's Joel Miller loses his daughter. Mazin revealed that he cried over and over while filming it and later cried again when it premiered on the big screen.
Mazin also credited the emotional impact of the scene to actress Nico Parker, who received criticism for her brief performance. The Last of Us became one of the best video game adaptations and won several awards including eight Emmys. A second season of the program will premiere in 2025.
Pedro Pascal's acting chops were at their best in Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann's The Last Of Us. Mazin had only good things to say about Pascal when he appeared for a chat with AwardsRadar last year. The Chernobyl creator revealed that he couldn't control his tears when he saw Pascal in a certain scene in the film.
