My Take
Shannon Woodward interests me as a case study in range without vanity. She can anchor a network sitcom like Raising Hope, hold her own amid the puzzle-box machinery of Westworld, and then deliver one of gaming's most affecting performances as Dina in The Last of Us Part II, earning a BAFTA Games Award nomination for work in which her face never appears. That last credit is the one I value most: voice and performance-capture acting demand precision with no safety net of close-ups. I suspect history will treat her as an early example of the truly medium-agnostic actor, equally fluent in television and interactive storytelling.
Overview
Shannon Marie Woodward is an American actress. She is best known for her roles as Sabrina Collins on the Fox sitcom Raising Hope (2010–2014), Elsie Hughes on the HBO science-fiction thriller series Westworld (2016–2018), and the voice of Dina in the video game The Last of Us Part II, for which she received a BAFTA Award for Performer in a Supporting Role nomination at the 17th British Academy Games Awards.
