Beef was one of Netflix’s top shows in 2023 and was a breakout role for Montgomery County, MD native Young Mazino. Since then, he has signed on to join the cast of hit HBO series The Last of Us, playing Jesse– “an important member of his community whose selflessness sometimes comes at a cost.”
His break role was in the Netflix series Beef. Beef is about a near-accident in a parking lot that turns two strangers into enemies.

The role of Danny’s younger brother, Paul, is played by Mazino.
Mazino is a Silver Spring native who graduated from Sherwood High School in 2009. While at Sherwood he excelled in track & field. He has previously been in shows like Prodigal Son, Blue Bloods and New Amsterdam, but Beef marked Mazino’s most popular role to date. Now, he will join the cast of the popular HBO series The Last Of Us.…
