During an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," Offerman revealed that he almost said "no" to playing the character in "The Last of Us" before his wife of nearly twenty years, Megan Mullally, encouraged him to take the part. The episode went viral for its emotional storyline and continues to earn praise. Regarding the compliments that Offerman's plot line received, the actor said to Jimmy Kimmel, "It's a wonderful tsunami of plaudits." So why did Offerman almost turn down the role of Bill?

"'Have fun! You have to do this.'" The star continued, "The episode began airing on Sunday. We had 6.4 million viewers," Offerman revealed.
