Jennifer Hale, the iconic voice of FemShep in the original Mass Effect trilogy, expresses her enthusiasm for Amazon's upcoming live-action adaptation. She's eager to participate in the series, suggesting that reuniting as many original voice actors as possible would be a brilliant move.
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. The casting of Shepard, in particular, presents a significant hurdle, as players have formed strong personal connections with their own versions of the character.
In a recent interview with Eurogamer, Hale voiced her desire to be involved, whether as FemShep or in another role. She highlighted the exceptional talent within the voice acting community, advocating for their inclusion in the show. Her statement underscores the significant contribution of voice actors to the immersive experience of the Mass Effect games.
Hale's preference naturally leans towards portraying the FemShep she originated, but she's open to any role. She also expressed her excitement about potentially returning for future Mass Effect video games.
The Mass Effect universe boasts a rich cast of characters, both heroic and villainous, brought to life by a talented ensemble of voice actors and celebrities. The return of actors like Brandon Keener (Garrus Vakarian), Raphael Sbarge (Kaidan Alenko), or Hale herself would undoubtedly delight longtime fans of the franchise. The potential for a reunion of the original voice cast adds a layer of anticipation to Amazon's adaptation.
