Who plays Maria Miller on The Last of Us? (Where do you know the actress from?)
By Sabrina Reed
The Last of Us has crossed the halfway mark and this exciting series is primed to thrill viewers even more as we speed toward the finale. Episode 6, “Kin,” reunites brothers Joel and Tommy. The last time the audience saw the two together was the premiere’s devastating opening sequence as the government caused chaos just as much as the Infected did while the world changed forever.
Up until this point, Joel had been trying to get in touch with his brother and when that failed he planned a mission to travel to Wyoming to find him. Besides protecting Ellie, that’s been his sole focus. Now that goal is about to be achieved, Joel will also have to contend with the life Tommy has created without him. A part of this life is Maria Miller, a member of the group and community he’s fallen in with in Wyoming.
Fans of the supernatural/paranormal genre likely recognized the actress who plays Maria immediately. Same thing goes for viewers familiar with the Bordelons. But, if you can’t seem to place who she is, here’s what we know about her!
