Actress Annie Wersching, best known for her role as FBI agent Renee Walker on the series “24” and as the voice of Tess in the video game “The Last of Us,” has died. She is 45 years old.
Wersching died Sunday morning in Los Angeles after a battle with cancer, his publicist told The Associated Press. The type of cancer is not specified.
“The Last of Us” creator Neil Druckman wrote on Twitter: “We have lost a beautiful artist and human being. My heart is broken. My thoughts are with her loved ones.”
Actress Abigail Spencer, who appeared with Wersching on the sci-fi series “Timeless,” tweeted: “We love Annie Wersching. We will miss you deeply.”
Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, Wersching appeared on dozens of television shows during her two-decade career.
His first credit was on “Star Trek: Enterprise,” and he would have recurring roles on the seventh and eighth seasons of “24,” “Bosch,” “The Vampire Diaries,” Marvel’s “Runaways,” “The Rookie.” and, most recently, the second season of “Star Trek: Picard” as the Borg Queen.
She also provided voice and motion capture performance for Tess for the popular video game “The Last of Us.”
According to Deadline, Wersching was diagnosed with cancer in 2020 and continued to work. She is survived by her husband, actor Stephen Full, and three children. A GoFundMe page was set up on Sunday to support the family.
