Josh Peck says it was an ‘honor’ to appear on ‘The Last of Us’ in surprise cameo
- Josh Peck made a surprise cameo as a FEDRA soldier named Janowicz in Season 2, Episode 4 of HBO's The Last of Us, which aired on Sunday, April 13, 2024.
- The cameo occurs in a 2018 flashback set in the Seattle quarantine zone, designed to introduce a new character who will obstruct Ellie’s revenge path in the series.
- Peck’s character shares a crude story to fellow soldiers before being betrayed and killed when Isaac Dixon, played by Jeffrey Wright, locks them in a truck rigged with grenades.
- The cameo lasts about four minutes but had strong fan impact, with Peck calling it a “pinch-me role” and director Kate Herron saying, “We need to get Josh.”
- This scene highlights internal FEDRA conflict within Seattle’s quarantine zone and sets up tensions for later episodes airing weekly through May 25 on HBO and Max.
