Joel Miller, The Last of Us
In one of the best character arcs on TV this year, Chilean Pedro Pascal brought pain, vulnerability, and emotional resonance to Joel Miller, a man tasked to safely escort a 14-year-old girl named Ellie (Bella Ramsey) across a United States that is ravaged by a fungus that has destroyed the population. The father-daughter relationship they form is the heart of the drama and shows Pascal range from comedy to drama.
