Joel Miller is one of the two main protagonists (alongside Ellie Williams) of the HBO television series The Last of Us, based on the video game franchise of the same name, and he is based on his video game counterpart.
He is a hardened middle-aged survivor who is tormented by the trauma of his past. Joel is tasked with smuggling a young girl, Ellie, out of a quarantine zone and across the United States to cure the infected.
He was portrayed by Pedro Pascal, who also played the Mandalorian in The Mandalorian, Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones, Mr. Fantastic in The Fantastic Four: First Step, and voiced Fink in The Wild Robot.
Biography[]
When the series starts, Joel is in his mid-thirties and a single father to his daughter, Sarah. He and his brother Tommy run a construction company together. On the night of his birthday, a brewing fungal pandemic truly explodes. As the three Millers try to get out of town, they're caught in a plane wreck wherein a piece of shrapnel injures Sarah's leg. They run into a soldier who mistakes Sarah's injury for a bite mark and he shoots them, killing Sarah in the process.
Twenty years later, Joel has never quite gotten over Sarah's death and lives in the Boston Quarantine Zone with his partner (in both senses of the word) Tess. Joel and Tess are smugglers who are on the hunt for a working truck battery so they can head to Wyoming to find Tommy, whom Joel has been unable to contact for three weeks. They finally find their chance to get one when Marlene, the head of the Fireflies, a terrorist group looking to restore democracy, offers it and more to them in exchange for smuggling a teenage girl named Ellie who's immune to the disease out of the QZ and to the Massachusetts state house so she can move out West in hopes of making a vaccine. However, things don't quite go as planned and Joel and Ellie embark on the trip together.
Personality[]
Joel is a more sympathetic character than he is in the game. Here he's trying to go to Wyoming because he hasn't heard from Tommy in three weeks whereas in the game, they've been estranged for years and his motivation is for guns.
