A lot of people ask me if I were Katjaa, would I make the same decision? And I don’t want to spoil anything for people who haven’t played it, but as a parent, watching a kid go through what her kid went through, I absolutely understand, what the writers were going for there, and I understand the character’s decision. I mean, we haven’t actually seen Shel die, but I’m pretty sure she’s dead.
GS: I know you were Joyce Price in Life is Strange here recently–if you could use Max’s powers to save any one of your characters in Walking Dead from their inevitable deaths, who would it be?ĬJ: Shel. So it’s really nice to have these roles start coming up and to be a part of them. That just doesn’t happen very often, especially for women. But then to be able to play somebody like Delilah, where I’m with the character from the beginning to the end, that’s just really special. GS: That’s awesome! So now you’ve obviously done tons of stuff–do you have a preference between seeing a story through as five or six really important characters, like in Walking Dead, or one who follows the narrative through to the end, like in Firewatch?ĬJ: That’s a really tough question! I did love The Walking Dead in the sense that I got to be the “good person” in the group, and then I got to be the bat-shit crazy lady in the woods, and then I got to be the cancer survivor that nobody liked, so it was a different experience for every single character. Katjaa was my first foray into video games. And I think I booked some random commercial. GS: Had you done any voice acting before you started Walking Dead, at all? Even outside of video games?ĬJ: I had done a random commercial for some weird little gadget that you use to hang your purse on a counter. I think when I first went in with Katjaa, I was just thrilled that I was getting paid to be there! So by the time Shel came around, it definitely felt a little more cemented in how awful this world really was. But yeah, it definitely informed my “taking on” of Shel, if you will, in terms of everything that you had to lose in this world that Robert Kirkman had created.
So there was a lot of similarity between the two of them, even though Shel was much younger and Katjaa was older, and a little more tragic.
But then, Shel was very similar in the sense that she was also a mom, and that she also had a charge to take care of. She was one of my first jobs since becoming an actor, and I hold her near and dear to my heart, always. Did the earlier roles, such as Katjaa, affect how you portrayed some of the later characters that appeared?ĬJ: Katjaa was my first video game role ever. GS: You played a lot of characters in Walking Dead. GameSided: Thank you so much for talking to me today. Read on at your own risk (or skip to page 2, for ADR1FT and Firewatch, spoiler-free).
