beginning with an unexpected Game of Thrones audition. This initial
experience was driven by fun rather than career aspirations, a mindset that has

first major role without pressure, simply relishing the opportunity to express
different characters. Ramsey’s unique journey into acting was marked by an
unexpected start and a sustained passion, which prepared them for the intense demands
of leading a major production.

of The Last of Us’s second season and took on a new level of
responsibility on the set of Season 3, with the man behind the creation stepping back.
