She was also in the video game version of The Last of Us, which HBO's latest hit series is based on, and Marvel's Runaways from Hulu.



Wersching (pictured) began her acting career in 2002 with a guest role on the UPN science fiction series Star Trek: Enterprise. Several guest roles in various series followed until she was cast in 2009 in the seventh season of the FOX action hit 24 starring Kiefer Sutherland.

Wersching's husband, actor Stephen Full, released a statement. "There's a big hole in this family's soul today. But she left us the tools to fill it. She found wonder in the simplest moment. She didn't need music to dance. She taught us not to wait until the adventure you find Go find it It's everywhere And we'll find it.

“As I drove our boys, the true loves of her life, down the winding driveway and street, she would yell ‘BYE!’ until we were out of earshot and into the world. I can still hear it ringing. ‘Bye my Buddie’. ‘I love you little family’...”

Jon Cassar, director and producer of 24, also paid tribute. “My heart has been broken into more pieces than I can count. Annie came into my world with an open heart and an infectious smile. Brandishing such talent, she took my breath away. Annie became more than a workmate, she became a true friend to me, my family, and all the cast and crew members who worked with her. She will be truly missed by them and the fans she always managed to find time with. Annie, you will be missed, you made your mark, and we are all the better for it.

Wersching was born and raised in St. Louis, by her parents Sandy and Frank.

Surviving relatives are her husband and children Freddie, 12; Ozzie, and Archie, 4.
