How They Crafted Bill And Frank's Love Story For HBO's The Last Of Us
The latest episode of HBO’s The Last of Us showed us the most significant deviation from the game material. At the same time, it gave the show its strongest episode and fleshed out Bill, played by Nick Offerman, more than he ever was.
In the first Last of Us game, Bill is introduced as a doomsday prepper and survivalist, owing Joel a list of favors for unspecified reasons. We knew at one time Bill had a partner, Frank, who mysteriously left in the middle of the night, never to return. We never saw Frank but felt the impact he left on Bill. In Episode 3, titled “Long, Long Time” after the Linda Rondstadt song, Bill and Frank never broke up but actually lived to an old age where they both committed assisted suicide.
