Brandon Scott played the character in 2013’s The Last Of Us, who is known for starring in Dead To Me, 13 Reasons Why and This Is Us. He also played Jameson in Naughty Dog’s Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End.

In a four-star review, NME wrote: “Gamers have been burned before by poorly conceived adaptations of their favourite titles, so they were naturally skeptical. But they needn’t have been. The Last Of Us lacks novel ideas, but when it’s this good it can get away with it.”
