John Goodman joins the cast of The Last of Us.

He’ll play a character named Joey who wasn’t in the games. Ian Alexander, who voiced Lev in The Last of Us: Part II, will play opposite him as another original character, Paco. Laura Bailey, who voiced Abby in the game, will join the cast as Elizabeth, a leader of the Seraphites cult.

John Goodman in a V-neck sweater and white button up shirt, looking mighty dapper I must say.
