The character was a departure from The Last of Us game which served as the HBO drama’s source material and won praise from fans and showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann.

Mazin expressed his astonishment on HBO’s The Last of Us podcast, saying, “I have never experienced a situation where a child, who had little previous experience in acting on screen, could perform so naturally and brilliantly. It was a delight to work with him, and he exceeded all expectations. He is incredibly talented, and I am eagerly looking forward to witnessing more of his work. I hope that when people watch this episode, especially those in Hollywood and the entertainment industry, they don’t just appreciate his exceptional portrayal of Sam, but also recognize that he deserves many more opportunities in the future.”

Foi Wambui has been ordered to remain in a copyright battle over Mutoriah’s hit song “Beta” after a court rejected her attempt to have the case against her thrown out.

The actress and content creator is facing a lawsuit filed by musician Mutoriah over the alleged unauthorised use of his song in an Oppo smartphone advertisement.

The dispute centres on a skit Wambui featured in while promoting Oppo’s Reno 12 5G. Mutoriah claims his music was used without his permission or a synchronization licence.

A synchronization licence is required when copyrighted music is paired with visual content, particularly in commercial advertising.

Mutoriah says he discovered the advert circulating on social media on August 31, 2024.
