  1. Behind the award

    Johnson has won two BAFTA Games Awards for Performer, one for The Last of Us and one for The Last of Us: Left Behind. No one else has taken that award more than once.

  2. A role that slipped away

    Johnson was cast as Beth, the waitress saved by Captain America in The Avengers, and was meant to return as his new love interest, but the plan was dropped and Emily VanCamp's Sharon Carter took that role instead.

  3. First role

    Johnson's career started at age six with the role of Chrissy Seaver on Growing Pains, and the character's age was sped up between seasons for the plot.
