HBO's The Last of Us finally introduced a character on Sunday that's barely mentioned in the original games, but helps us understand how and why Joel is the way he is: Javier Miller, Joel and Tommy's father. Played by Tony Dalton (Marvel's Daredevil: Born Again, Better Call Saul), Javier is tough on his sons and a cop who tries his best to keep them out of trouble. There's a link, though, in how Javier raised his sons and Joel's temperament when coming to raising Ellie and keeping her safe for the past five years.
In a flashback sequence, we see Joel attempting to take the blame for Tommy trying to buy drugs and getting into a brawl with the dealer. Expecting a beating, the young Joel (Andrew Diaz) is offered a beer by his dad instead.
"What Joel has done now is different," Druckmann explained to EW. "He used violence to protect his tribe, to protect Tommy, and now it's almost like there's something for them to relate to, and they connect on this level. What the dad ultimately says is, 'I think I've done the right things, but I'm not entirely sure. I just know that I did things better than my dad, who beat me even worse.' His insecurity about that stays with Joel as well. Joel's doing the best he can with the tools that are in front of him, but he loves Ellie unconditionally."
