Pedro Pascal and Steven Yeun, known for their roles in The Walking Dead and Pedro Pascal in The Last Of Us, recently discussed their experiences dealing with zombies, collaborating with co-stars, and their shared love for video games. Both actors have become A-list celebrities in recent years and have solidified their status with their roles in HBO's The Last Of Us and Netflix's Beef.

Pascal and Yeun have made a significant impact on the TV landscape this year. Pascal's portrayal of Joel, a determined father navigating the post-apocalyptic world, in HBO's adaptation of The Last Of Us has been met with critical acclaim. He is expected to receive multiple Emmy nominations in the upcoming award season. Similarly, Yeun's character Danny Cho in Beef, a mechanic facing financial struggles, has garnered attention on Netflix and is considered a strong contender for an Emmy award.

Recently, Pascal and Yeun were featured on Variety's Actors on Actors, a series where actors have intimate one-to-one conversations about their craft. During their episode, they openly discussed their common connection with zombies. Pascal, starring in a post-apocalyptic series, and Yeun, known for his role in The Walking Dead, found that their shared experience with zombies brought them closer and even influenced their work. Yeun revealed that he felt a strange connection to Pascal and shared how playing The Last Of Us, a game related to The Walking Dead, had impacted him personally. Pascal, on the other hand, recalled watching The Walking Dead and accurately predicting Yeun's successful career. Pascal also confessed that he had little knowledge about the video game until his involvement in the show, with his nephews educating him on the subject. The actors also discussed their collaborations with their co-stars. Pascal reflected on how Bella Ramsey, despite her young age, provided valuable insights on their characters, which he relied on during filming. Yeun praised Ali Wong for her professionalism on set and her role as a trusted colleague and confidante.

Season 18 of Variety's Actors on Actors can now be streamed on YouTube. The series has a track record of accurately predicting the frontrunners for the upcoming Emmy Awards. Despite the conclusion of The Last Of Us and Beef season 1, both actors have exciting projects lined up for the future. Pascal has roles in the upcoming psychological thriller Tropico, the comedy film titled The Uninvited, and HBO's drama series My Dentist's Murder Trial. On the other hand, Yeun will be starring in Marvel Studios' Thunderbolts and Bong Joon-Ho's next untitled feature film.
