The Last of Us is just a few days away from the much-hyped season finale. But while waiting for Episode 9, the latest one is still fresh in every fan’s mind. After all, Episode 8 was a high-octane experience of a lot of thrilling action and heart-wrenching sequences. Everyone is still talking about Pedro Pascal’s Joel calling Ellie (Bella Ramsey) ‘baby girl‘.
But aside from Pedro Pascal, the latest episode of the show featured two Joels. Troy Baker, who played James in that episode, was none other than the original Joel. Those who haven’t played The Last of Us games might not know that Baker was the voice actor for Joel.

The young actress answered, “I just remember him walking around it’s like axing his neck all day. Also, me being so desensitized to all of this and just being like, Oh! Troy has an axe in his neck like it didn’t. It’s a problem of growing up in this industry, you really become desensitized to things like that.”
She further added, “That was a long day, it just kept going and going and going and going, and I think Troy was even there like they had to do a little insert shot.” Ramsey continued about shooting James’ killing scene, “I killed original Joel quite a few times, but he was like gonna murder me and like eat me so I think it’s fine.”
