In the video game The Last of Us Part II, Jesse (voiced by Stephen Chang) is a friend and ally of Ellie, Dina and the rest of the inhabitants of the Jackson colony. He plays an important role in the events that are about to happen.

“Young is one of those rare actors who is immediately striking as soon as you see him“, comment series co-creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann. “We are so lucky to have him and can’t wait for audiences to see Young shine in our series.”

Season 2 of The Last of Us must be filmed this year. Released in 2025 on HBO.
