Nick Offerman wowed sitcom audiences with Ron Swanson, but now he's showing off previously untold depths in TheLastOfUs.
Editor's note: The following contains spoilers for The Last of Us Episode 3.Though The Last of Us video game's version of Bill is a man stubbornly set in his ways who often irritates, antagonizes, and alienates the people around him, HBO's version of the character is a layered and deeply satisfying portrayal, showcasing both Bill's harder, less likable edges and his deeply sensitive, long-suffering heart.
Bill's Transformation from Hermetic to Romantic After Offerman's Bill avoids government evacuation by hiding out in a secret survivalist shelter, he becomes the lone owner and occupant of a small town. When Bill takes off his gas mask and surveys the otherwise empty streets, Offerman's look of mischievous self-satisfaction says it all: this is the moment that he's been waiting for his entire life.
Later Frank is wowed by Bill's high-class accommodations and thoughtful meal preparation. When Frank tries to play a song from a Linda Ronstadt songbook on the piano, Bill winces and stops him abruptly. Frank suggests that Bill play it himself, which he does, and its lyrics reveal a deep and unfulfilled longing. Frank creates a moment of intimacy between them, and they kiss.
When Joel offers Bill a deal that will help secure his fence and thereby provide safety for both Bill and Frank, there is a war of emotions in Bill's eyes. Joel has correctly found Bill's weakness, his love for Frank, and although Bill does not wish to rely on a stranger, he knows that if Joel is telling the truth, such supplies could come in handy.
