Henry (Lamar Johnson) and his little brother Sam (Keivonn Woodard).
The Last Of Us blends moments of heart-swelling joy, soul-crushing loss and brutal, bloody violence, but in terms of sudden, heart-stopping shocks, the abrupt deaths of Henry and his little brother Sam (Lamar Johnson and Keivonn Woodard) is among the most distressing. Joel reluctantly warms to the affable Henry, while Ellie takes eight-year-old Sam — who is now deaf in the show, a change suggested by Mazin to make the brothers’ dynamic more distinct from Joel and Ellie’s — under her wing. When Sam is bitten and inevitably turns, he attacks Ellie in a frenzy, causing his panicked, hysterical brother to shoot him dead, before turning the gun on himself.
