Here's Why Ashley Johnson Playing Ellie's Mom In "The Last Of Us" Episode 9 Is Brilliant And A Great Detail

Speaking about being cast in The Last of Us, Ashley told Deadline, "I've been talking about this where usually when a video game is adapted to screen, the voice-over actors or motion capture artists aren’t brought into the fold. So, I got a text from Neil [Druckmann], and he said, 'Craig [Mazin] and I have been talking, and we would love, would you like to play Ellie's mom?' And, of course, just projectile tears."
