Actress Annie Wersching, who voiced the role of Tess in The Last of Us video game, has died of cancer at the age of 45.

Wersching was born and raised in St. Louis, and her first major role was Amelia Jogge in German Hospital. She also did stunt roles in The Vampire Diaries, Runaways, Extant, Timeless, and The Rockie, according to Deadline. 

She was diagnosed with cancer in 2020, but continued acting in Star Trek: Picard as the Borg Queen in season 2 despite her illness and treatment.

Wersching is best known for her roles as Rene Walker in the series of 24, Bosch, and Timeless.

The director and executive producer of 24, Jon Cassar, paid tribute. “My heart is broken in more pieces than I can count. Annie came into my world with an open heart and a contagious smile. Brandishing such talent, she took my breath away. She’ll be truly missed.”

Her husband, actor Stephen Full said in a statement, “There is a cavernous hole in the soul of this family today. But she left us the tools to fill it. She found wonder in the simplest moment. She didn’t require music to dance. She taught us not to wait for adventure to find you. ‘Go find it. It’s everywhere.”

Annie Wersching is survived by her husband and children, Freddie, Ozzie, and Archie, according to Kokatu.
