Actress Annie Wersching, best known for her role within the TV series “24,” died of cancer, her family said Sunday. She was 45.
“There may be a cavernous hole within the soul of this family today,” Wersching’s husband, actor Stephen Full, told Deadline. “But she left us the tools to fill it. She found wonder in the best moment. She didn’t require music to bounce.”
“She taught us not to attend for adventure to seek out you. ‘Go find it. It’s all over the place.’ And find it we will,” he said.
Wersching, who had three children with Full, was diagnosed with cancer in 2020, but continued to work while getting treatment, including on the Disney+ show “Star Trek: Picard.”
A GoFundMe launched to support her sons, ages 4, 9 and 12, said Wersching was a non-public one who didn’t wish to discuss her diagnosis. It will not be clear what style of cancer the St. Louis native had.
The director and producer of “24” Jon Cassar told Deadline his “heart is broken in additional pieces than I can count.”
“Annie got here into my world with an open heart and a contagious smile. Brandishing such talent, she took my breath away,” he said. “Annie became greater than a workmate, she became an actual friend to me, my family and each solid and crew member that worked together with her.”
Wersching played the a part of FBI agent Renee Walker within the seventh and eighth seasons of “24.”
Wersching was also known for her video game voice work, including in “The Last of Us,” which has since been adapted into an HBO series, and the favored game “Anthem.”
