Actress Annie Wersching, best known for playing FBI agent Renee Walker on the series “24” and voicing Tess in the video game “The Last of Us,” has died. She was 45 years old.
Wersching died in Los Angeles on Sunday morning of cancer, his public relations agent told The Associated Press. It was not specified what type of cancer.
Neil Druckmann, creator of “The Last of Us,” tweeted: “We just lost a beautiful artist and human being. I have a broken heart. My thoughts are with his loved ones.”
Actress Abigail Spencer, who appeared alongside Wersching on the sci-fi series “Timeless,” tweeted: “We love you Annie Wersching. We will miss you deeply.”
A native of St. Louis, Missouri, Wersching appeared on dozens of television shows throughout her two-decade career.
His first credit was on “Star Trek: Enterprise,” and he subsequently had recurring roles on the seventh and eighth seasons of “24,” as well as “Bosch,” “The Vampire Diaries,” the Marvel series “Runaways,” “The Rookie,” and most recently in the second season of “Star Trek: Picard,” where she played the Borg Queen.
He also gave Tess a voice and motion capture performance for the popular video game “The Last of Us.”
Wersching was diagnosed with cancer in 2020, according to Deadline, and kept working. She is survived by her husband, actor Stephen Full, and three children. A page was opened on the GoFundMe crowdfunding platform on Sunday to support the family.
