In addition to her memorable voice and motion-capture performance as Tess in The Last of Us, Wersching was a prolific TV actress perhaps best known for playing FBI agent Renee Walker in 24, and appearing in popular procedural dramas like Castle, The Rookie and Bosch. 'We just lost a beautiful artist and human being,' wrote The Last of Us co-creator Neil Druckman. While it has been 10 years since Wersching portrayed the character of Tess, her work on the hugely popular game has recently re-entered the cultural consciousness with the release of the TV adaptation, with many comparing her favorably to Anna Torv, who played the live-action version of the character. Wersching's husband, actor Stephen Full, confirmed via an update on their family's GoFundMe page that she died on January 29. Annie Wersching, the actress who originated the role of Tess in the video game The Last of Us, has died at the age of 45 after being diagnosed with cancer two years ago.
