Supernatural star Jensen Ackles recently disclosed that he wanted to play the lead role in HBO’s The Last of Us.

According to Daily Mail, Jensen spoke at a fan convention where he talked about “eyeing” Pedro Pascal’s character Joel in the series.

“I was really kind of pushing hard, but I don’t think I was really in the mix or really had a shot at it, but for Pedro Pascal's role in The Last of Us,” said the 44-year-old.

Jensen continued, “Really, I was like – that was high up on my radar.”

However, the actor pointed out that he’s “about to head up to LA to shoot a whole day for a new game that’s coming out as a character”.

“I can’t say what it is just yet, but you’ll find out soon enough,” added Jensen.

For the unversed, The Last of Us, set in a post-apocalyptic America, is based on the popular video game that debuted on PlayStation 3 in 2013.
