Halley Gross and I had worked together on the first season of “Westworld” and we were on a hiatus, and I ran into her at a party and asked her afterwards what she was up to over the summer, and she was like, “I’m working at Naughty Dog.” I’m a big gamer, and obviously played “The Last of Us” and the “Uncharted” games, so I was like, “What are you working on at Naughty Dog?,” knowing that they just released “Uncharted 4.” I was like, “Is it ‘The Last of Us 2’?” And she just went really pale and was like, “I can’t talk about it!” And I was like, “Oh my god, I am such a big fan. And that just really felt profound to me. In the same way that a magician makes you pick a card, and you really feel like you chose that card, but that’s why they’re really good at their jobs.
This is the first time that I’d felt like I was making active choices as a player, so I felt complicit in those decisions.

I think it was the first time I’d ever played a game that felt like it elevated the nature of storytelling that I’d ever experienced, in the sense that, when you watch a show or movie or read a novel, you’re an observer. This girl - you spend all this time trying to protect her, and I just killed everyone!” I was like, “What are you talking about?” That was the first time I’d heard about the game, and he was like “You’ve gotta play it,” and I played it. I was like, “You’ve gotta stop, it’s so loud.” And he was sobbing, he was like “I’m so sorry! Shannon, this game is so crazy. I actually remember the first time I really heard about the game - I was aware of it, but my younger brother was living at my house at the time, and he was playing the game incredibly loudly, and I was trying to sleep.
Yeah, I think I played the game three times before having any involvement with it. ( And for Variety‘s chat with Johnson, click here.) Were you a fan of “The Last of Us” before getting this role? Woodward, also known for her roles in “Westworld” and “Raising Hope,” talked to Variety about her love for “The Last of Us” (even before joining the cast), taking on a motion-capture role and what it was like joining the much-hyped sequel.
