From Austin with Zombies

When actor Gabriel Luna first picked up a Playstation controller and played The Last Of Us all the way back in 2013, he surprisingly felt a pang of pride. 

“The first thing I noticed was that the inciting incident for the game was in Austin,” recalled Luna, who was born in the city’s Ascension Seton Medical Center, raised on the east and south side, and even attended St. Edward’s University. “I’m an Austin boy through and through. I was surprised and proud that the city was being represented in the best video game for years.”

Before his Hollywood career kicked off, actor Gabriel Luna worked with Austin’s Paper Chairs Theater Company. (Credit: Shane Harvey/HBO)
