When Catherine O’Hara called Pedro Pascal “Charles” on the set of The Last of Us for no reason

When Catherine O'Hara called Pedro Pascal "Charles" on the set of The Last of Us for no reason

As a seasoned gamer with a soft spot for post-apocalyptic narratives and top-notch acting performances, I can’t help but express my excitement about the upcoming seasons of both “The Last of Us” and “Beetlejuice.” The casting choices are truly inspired, and Catherine O’Hara, known for her hilarious roles in films like “Best in Show” and “Beetlejuice,” brings a unique charm to the table.


The critically acclaimed television series, “The Last of Us,” which is adapted from the popular zombie survival video games by Naughty Dog, was one of the most successful shows in 2022. A significant factor contributing to its success can be attributed to the exceptional performances delivered by Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey as Joel and Ellie. The upcoming second season is set to introduce even more talented actors, including Jeffrey Wright portraying a paramilitary leader and Catherine O’Hara from “Schitt’s Creek” playing an unnamed character. A brief glimpse of her can be seen around the 1:16 mark in an HBO sizzle reel, showcasing some of their upcoming content for the next year. Take a look at this segment to witness her interaction with Pascal’s Joel.

Could it be that she’s taking on a therapeutic role? Nonetheless, O’Hara is renowned for her comedic performances in films such as “Best in Show” and “Beetlejuice”. At present, she’s making the rounds on the press tour for the upcoming release of “Beetlejuice 2”, set to hit theaters next weekend. In a recent chat with TV host Kevin McCarthy, she shared a side-splitting anecdote about working alongside Pascal in “The Last of Us”.

I was in a scene all day long with Pedro Pascal, who’s just the lovliest man, esactly who you’d want him to be. And at one point, I called him Charles. He laughed forever, and then he texted me, ‘From Charles.’ I don’t know where the name came from, but maybe it was this!

It seems that the actor, O’Hara, frequently shouts “Charles” in the film “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice“. I’m not completely certain about the reason; there is no character named Charles listed on the movie’s IMDb page. However, a character named Charles Deetz was present in the original 1988 “Beetlejuice” film. In this new movie, his character has passed away, leading me to speculate that O’Hara’s character Delia Deetz might be addressing Charles Deetz’s ghost, expressing her frustration about her deceased husband, or something similar.

Whatever the reason, that could account for O’Hara’s faux pas on the set of The Last of Us. “So embarrassing,” O’Hara said. Jenna Ortega, who stars in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice as Delia’s grandaughter Astrid Deetz, also chimed in. “He doesn’t even look like a Charles.”

Bettlejuice Beetlejuice is coming up shortly, while The Last of Us season 2 is scheduled for release in 2025. Keep an eye out for Charles in the bloopers!
