In an interview with DiversityShowrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann Exclusively Revealed That Pantoliano Is Joining the Cast of the Massively Successful Show's Sophomore Season As Eugene, A Character that's Only Briefly Seen in the Video Game Game Game Game Game Game Game Game Game Game Game (Specifically, when the in-Game Characters Ellie and Dina Stumble Across His "Abandoned Cannabis Den"-and in the series, Ellie and Dina are played by Bella Ramsay and Isabella Merced).

Obviously, Mazin's idea was to make Eugene in a full -fledged character, and Drukman easily agreed. "I am excited when I see these opportunities," he said of the exit. "I'm like, 'Oh, I don't know Eugene so well!' The story we told (in the game) was something superficial.
