‘The Last of Us’ Actor Annie Wersching Has Passed Away at 45
Known for playing Tess in Naughty Dog’s video game The Last of Us, we’ve learned the sad news this week that Annie Wersching has passed away after a battle with cancer at just 45.
In addition to her role in The Last of Us, Annie Wersching is known for playing Renee Walker in 37 episodes of the TV series “24,” an FBI special agent who appeared in two seasons.
Wersching’s credits in film and television also include “Star Trek: Enterprise,” “Angel,” Bruce Almighty, “Charmed,” “Cold Case,” “Boston Legal,” “Supernatural,” “General Hospital,” “CSI,” “NCIS,” “Touch,” “Extant” “The Vampire Diaries,” “Timeless,” “Runaways,” “Bosch” and “Star Trek: Picard.” Most recently, she starred in six episodes of the TV series “The Rookie.”
Annie Wersching is survived by her husband, Stephen Full, and their sons Freddie (12), Ozzie (9) and Archie (4). A Go Fund Me page has been set up to help Annie’s family at this time.
The Last of Us creator Neil Druckmann tweets, “Just found out my dear friend, Annie Wersching, passed away. We just lost a beautiful artist and human being. My heart is shattered. Thoughts are with her loved ones. I miss my silly friend who helped bring Tess to life.
“Annie, you left us way too soon. You will forever be part of the TLoU & Naughty Dog family!”
Last week we learned that Steve Buscemi had joined the cast of “Wednesday” Season 2 at Netflix, and Variety lets us know that Thandiwe Newton (“Westworld”) has also signed on.
Jenna Ortega is back as Wednesday Addams in the upcoming second season of Netflix’s “Wednesday,” with Steve Buscemi playing the new principal of Nevermore Academy.
Jenna Ortega stars in the hit series as Wednesday Addams, with Luis Guzmán playing Gomez and Catherine Zeta-Jones playing Morticia in Tim Burton’s Netflix series. Christina Ricci also appears in the show, playing a brand new role, with Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester.
“Wednesday” is described as “a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy.” The series follows…
“Wednesday’s attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships.”
Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Smallville”) are the writers and showrunners, with Tim Burton executive producing and directing several episodes of the show’s debut season.
We don’t know much about “Wednesday” Season 2 at the moment but Jenna Ortega has promised that the new season will be “bolder” and darker than the first season of the series.
“We’ve decided we want to lean into the horror more,” Ortega said last year.
