“Loved the Death Scene More”: The Last of Us Fans Sorrowful as an Iconic Video Game Cameo Ends

Published 02/11/2023, 3:00 PM EST

We never stop being surprised by The Last of Us, and in episode 5, a brand-new kind of infected appeared from Kansas City’s underground to pose a threat to Joel and Ellie. There was also a chance to have a closer look at the “antagonists,” like Kathleen and Perry, even though the plot revolved around Joel and Ellie and how they managed to live in Kansas City. As with much of this series, you might cry after reading what Jeffrey Pierce had to say at the end of episode 5.

Jeffrey Pierce, who many would instantly remember from his voice and motion capture performances as Tommy, Joel’s brother in both The Last of Us video games, portrayed the role of Perry.

It’s a lovely hint that they took the actor into consideration, even though it’s for a completely minor character since he got the chance to participate in Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann’s adaptation. BEWARE! the following contains episode 5 spoilers.

The episode, “Endure and Survive” brings us through the halfway mark of this first season, which comprises nine episodes and serves as the end of the voyage through Kansas that began in the previous episode “Please Hold on to My Hand”.

Perry met his death at the hands of a savage Bloater, who resisted much gunfire and proceeded to rip his head off. The actor is highly active on social media, particularly on his Twitter account, where he has been posting photographs from episode 5 and has posted an emotional statement in which he thanks everyone involved in the series.

“The Crew. HMU. The stunt players. The editorial gang. Camera. FX & VFX. Props and Armourers. ADs and PAs. Catering and Craft service. Lighting and Locations. Without you, we’ve got words on a page. With you, we did the impossible. Love, gratitude, and respect to you all,” he thanked in his tweet after his role in the series as Perry ended.

However, the main thing that gained the fans’ attention was the way he died, which somehow managed to be one of the most gruesome deaths so far in the series. The fans gave their condolences to Perry’s ‘head’ and bid adieu to one of the fan-favorite characters.

his performance was mind blowing
