Screen Rant and other outlets spoke to TheLastOfUs star MerleDandridge about playing Marlene for ten years, reprising her role in the new HBO series, and new surprises in her story:
The Last of Us is an award-winning video game considered by many to be one of the strongest story-driven games ever. The Last of Us follows Joel, a hardened smuggler, as he is tasked with protecting and bringing fourteen-year-old Ellie across a post-apocalyptic America. following a devastating fungal pandemic that wiped out most of the population. The Last of Us has garnered acclaim from critics and has expanded into a sequel game, comics, and now a television series.
Merle Dandridge: I know. I feel singularly lucky in this particular iteration that I get to see Marlene in four different forms. That over the course of the 10 years I feel as though I've got an opportunity to mature as an artist, mature into the role, and really get to know her on a deeper, more inherent level. But when I first got the call to audition for the game, I went in, and I auditioned opposite Troy Baker who was playing Joel. And Neil was the other person in the room.
Merle Dandridge: I think I was daily surprised because I had previously only lived in my imagination as far as the world was concerned.
Talk to me a little bit about how Craig and Neil let you know the arc that you were going to be playing, and how much it deviates or it goes more in-depth than you expected from what you knew about her in the game. The show has less action than you might expect from something based on this game. From your perspective, were you surprised by that approach? Were you expecting to have more action sequences when you started?
Merle Dandridge: The first moment on set. The very first time we ever met was outside of the bathrooms, and we just happened to pass each other in full costume. And it was really interesting to see the outstanding background actors walking by and catching these characters that they probably knew in the flesh and see. And so to see it through their eyes that we're outside of the bathroom like, "Oh, look at you, you look so cool. Oh my gosh, I can't believe it.
