The Last Of Us Show Casts Beef Actor As Key Character
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
A day after announcing that Kaitlyn Dever will play Abby in The Last of Us series’ second season, Max (formerly HBO Max) has announced that Beef actor Young Mazino will play Ellie’s friend Jesse.
Like Dever’s casting, the announcement first came from Max’s own social channels, and didn’t name the character they were playing. Ten The Last of Us developer Naughty Dog followed up with its own post confirming Mazino has been cast as Ellie’s golden retriever bestie and Dina’s ex-boyfriend Jesse.

As more casting announcements come, I’m eager to see who plays Dina and Lev, arguably the deuteragonists of Ellie and Abby’s respective stories. We may have gotten a glimpse at Dina in The Last of Us’ first season during the Jackson episode, but Lev is very central to the Seattle setting of Part II. Personally, I’d love to see Lev’s original actor, Ian Alexander, reprise their role as the Seraphite archer in the show. It’s not unprecedented, as Merle Dandridge got to play Marlene again in the first season after portraying her in both games.
The Last of Us’s second season is set to premiere in 2025, with filming starting on February 12.
