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 it would be a shrewd move to reunite as many original voice actors as possible.
Amazon's Mass Effect series, currently in development at Amazon MGM Studios, is a significant undertaking given the game's branching narrative and customizable protagonist, Commander Shepard. Casting Shepard presents a unique challenge, as players have formed strong personal connections with their own versions of the character.
In a recent Eurogamer interview, Hale voiced her desire to be involved, advocating for the inclusion of the original voice cast. She highlighted the exceptional talent within the voice acting community, emphasizing their often-overlooked contributions. Her statement underscores the potential richness that experienced voice actors could bring to the live-action adaptation.
Hale's preference naturally leans towards the FemShep she originated, although she expresses openness to any role. Her enthusiasm extends to a potential return in future Mass Effect video games.
The Mass Effect universe boasts a stellar cast of voice actors and celebrities, contributing significantly to the immersive experience. The return of actors like Brandon Keener (Garrus Vakarian), Raphael Sbarge (Kaidan Alenko), or Hale herself would undoubtedly delight long-time fans of the franchise.
