You hated Abby at the start of The Last of Us 2, and if you didn't love her by the end, you at least understood her, but Laura Bailey almost didn't get cast in the iconic role which won her several awards.
Neil Druckmann and Cory Barlog, creative directors of Naughty Dog and Santa Monica Studio respectively, discussed Bailey's casting during the D.I.C.E. Summit on Wednesday. Originally reported by PC Gamer, Bailey almost didn't get the role because Druckmann and his colleagues at Naughty Dog were worried that "she's in everything." It's a funny thing to say considering Troy Baker who plays Joel was also in a lot of games before he was cast in the role.
