Bella Ramsey on the Acting Tricks That Make ’The Last of Us’ So Emotional

Bella Ramsey is quickly becoming a household name talent thanks to hits like “Game of Thrones” and “The Last of Us.” It was only recently, though, that they admitted they might just be able to make a career out of this. “I used to say to people when they asked what I did, I’d say, ‘Oh I do acting,’” Ramsey tells us. “That eventually shifted to me saying, ‘I’m an actor.’ It’s such a tiny little change in language, but it really feels different.” On this episode of In the Envelope: The Actor’s Podcast, Ramsey takes us behind the scenes of ‘The Last of Us,’ shares their acting secrets, and gets candid about how they’re feeling headed into season 2 of the HBO apocalypse drama. -- Backstage has been the #1 resource for actors and talent-seekers for 60 years.
