As BioWare charts Mass Effect’s future, the former Commander Shepard thinks its OG cast deserves a TV spotlight.
I imagine they’ll follow The Last of Us’s lead and try to give them roles, like Troy Baker had. If they want to be seen to do the right thing at least.
Jennifer Hale is at least 52 (officially, Wikipedia suggests she might be older), and isn’t really that well known, so it’s very unlikely that she could be FemShep - maybe an Admiral Hackett-type character (played by Lance Henriksen in the games).
I think it worked well for The Last of Us, too. They accommodated 1:1 casting where they could (Merle Dandridge as Marlene in both the game and show), and casting Ashley Johnson as Ellie’s mom was a genius decision, which I think honors her original performance as Ellie in the games.
NGL Bella Ramsey and Ashley Johnson are totally believable as mother/daughter. Not only was Ashley Johnson playing Ellie’s mom the right choice, it was the perfect casting choice
I’d love to see Jennifer as FemShep. Barring that, a side part like Ashley Johnson has on the Last of Us show would be cool. Not as cool, but still cool
I hope the show sticks to canon and saves Kaiden during a paragon run except for punching reporters.
