As a child of the 80s and 90s, Gabriel Luna can't help but love video games.

The actor tells Tom Power about how he grew up playing video games with his brothers, and even remembers playing the first little bit of The Last of Us about ten years ago when it first came onto the scene. Fast forward to 2023, and Luna now finds himself starring in the lauded HBO adaptation of the story as Tommy, the brother of Pedro Pascal's character.

He drops by Q to talk about bringing a video game to the television screen, why filming in Calgary was the perfect spot for a show about the apocalypse, and how playing a bad guy in the latest Terminator film has jump-started his career.
