Mass Effect Voice Actress Wants Original Cast to Return for TV Series

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 re-engage as many original voice actors as possible.

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, a character deeply personalized by players, presents a significant hurdle.

In a recent interview with Eurogamer, Hale, whose extensive voice acting credits include the female Commander Shepard, voiced her desire to contribute to the show. She championed the talent of the voice acting community, stating that overlooking their contributions would be a missed opportunity. Her preference, naturally, is for a live-action portrayal that reflects the FemShep she originated. However, she expressed openness to any role within the production, mirroring her enthusiasm for a potential return in future Mass Effect video games.

Hale's sentiment highlights the significant contributions of the voice actors to the Mass Effect universe. The inclusion of actors like Brandon Keener (Garrus Vakarian), Raphael Sbarge (Kaidan Alenko), or even Hale herself would undoubtedly delight long-time fans of the franchise. Their presence would serve as a powerful bridge between the beloved games and the new live-action series.
