Gabriel Luna, who portrays Tommy in HBO’s ‘The Last of Us’, shared insights into his experience while filming the two seasons of the series.
“It was very similar in the way that we kind of embraced each other off-screen and tried to build the fibers between the cast as quickly as we could,” the actor told Gold Derby about bonding with his co-stars.
He continued, “There were instances where people had kind of just met each other and were thrown into pretty intense subject matter.”
In season two, several new characters were introduced. Regarding them, he stated, “Pedro and myself, Rutina, and Bella were kind of the elder statesman.”
The star added, “We were trying to maintain the culture of the show, which is one of love, of real love. And that sounds kind of cliché, but it’s, it’s really true in this case.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Gabriel also reflected on how the point of view changed with the lead characters.
“What’s special about the game and the perspective shift that occurs is that your heroes in one viewpoint are someone else’s boogeyman,” the 42-year-old said.
“And I look forward to being that — if we do, in fact, handle that story that way. It’s an opportunity to really show somebody who returns to their base instincts and the most destructive aspects of their nature and someone who gives in to the fury that that kind of grief sparks,” Gabriel concluded.
In the meantime, it remains unclear when the shooting for season three of ‘The Last of Us’ will commence.
