Jennifer Hale, the iconic voice of FemShep in the original Mass Effect trilogy, expresses enthusiasm for Amazon's upcoming live-action adaptation. She's keen on a cameo appearance and advocates for reuniting as much of the original voice cast as possible, highlighting their exceptional talent.
Amazon's Mass Effect series, currently in development at Amazon MGM Studios, faces the challenge of adapting the game's branching narrative and customizable protagonist, Commander Shepard. This presents a casting dilemma, as players have formed strong personal connections with their own versions of Shepard.
In a recent Eurogamer interview, Hale voiced her desire to participate in the show, emphasizing the value of the original voice actors. She believes that incorporating them would be a shrewd move, stating, "The voice acting community are some of the most brilliant performers I've ever met [...] So I'm ready for the smart production company that stops overlooking that gold mine."
Hale naturally favors a live-action portrayal reflecting her FemShep, but remains open to any role. Her excitement extends to a potential return in future BioWare Mass Effect games.
The Mass Effect universe boasts a memorable ensemble of characters, brought to life by a talented voice cast. The inclusion of actors like Brandon Keener (Garrus Vakarian), Raphael Sbarge (Kaidan Alenko), or even Hale herself would be a welcome sight for dedicated fans of the franchise.
