Actor Tati Grabrielle has been connected with Naughty Dog for years now, thanks to her appearances in the 2022 Uncharted film and the ongoing The Last of Us season 2. Her starring role in the upcoming Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophecy is her biggest collaboration with the studio yet, and she says she's been briefed by director Neil Druckmann on all the unfortunate baggage that can come from the worst parts of gaming fandom.
"Neil's been bootcamp-ing me," Gabrielle tells Entertainment Weekly. "I know Troy [Baker]'s experience, I know Ashley [Johnson]''s experience...I know Laura Bailey's experience." Bailey portrayed Abby in The Last of Us 2, and received a shocking - even by the standards of the gaming world - amount of harassment for the role.
