The Last of Us season two actor lands Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet role after impressing Neil Druckmann on set


One The Last of Us TV actor impressed Neil Druckmann so much, they won themselves a part in Naughty Dog's next game.

Played by Tony Dalton, whose name you may recognise from his portrayal of Lalo Salamanca in Breaking Bad spin-off Better Call Saul, Javier Miller is a police officer in Austin during the 80s. Speaking with EW following the sixth episode's debut this morning, The Last of Us creator and series showrunner Neil Druckmann said Dalton was his "first choice" to play Joel's father, jokingly adding the actor was "the most charming, threatening man" he had ever seen on television. Thankfully for Druckmann, it was not a case of 'don't meet your heroes' with Dalton, and the Naughty Dog head was so pleased with the actor's work on The Last of Us TV series he went on to cast him in Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.
