Troy Baker Talks Ashley Johnson's The Last Of Us Season 1 Finale Role

Following the finale of HBO’s The Last of Us, actor Troy Baker has reflected on his time working on the show and revealed his most memorable moment from Season 1. Warning: The following contains spoilers for Episode 3 and Episode 9 of The Last of Us.

In an HBO Max Q&A, Baker–who originally played Joel Miller in The Last of Us games–discussed what it was like seeing Ashley Johnson, the original Ellie, starring as a different character. In Episode 9, Johnson plays Ellie’s mom Anna, where it was revealed that she was bitten as she gave birth to Ellie. Baker said that this scene was “meta” for him, adding, “…you do have this handoff from one Ellie to the other.”
