Sam from The Last of Us (HBO)

Sam (played by Keivonn Woodard) is the deaf younger brother of Henry in the HBO series The Last of Us.  When Henry and Sam are hunted by Kathleen, the two make a plan with Joel and Ellie to leave Kansas City and travel with the pair to Wyoming.  Sam is deaf, and he communicates via American Sign Language with his older brother, and also through the use of a magnetic notepad.  He wears a yellow hoodie under a blue jacket and has orange face paint that looks like a superhero mask on his face, courtesy of Henry.  If you can’t find a jacket that’s quilted exactly like Sam’s, a plain puffer jacket will do.
