But I think the show will be casting a much wider net than people believe, and this casting is going to be considering many more factors than facial similarity, as the show has already shown with its current cast. I thought she was good in The Wilds, but that’s my only experience with her roles. I am not rooting for or against Berry here. In truth, Joel, Tommy, Sara, all these characters look pretty different from their game versions, not just Ellie. It’s more about being able to channel the spirit of that character than anything, and I think that opens up the field much wider than just Berry, even if she’s a dead ringer for game Abby. Not to say with training any actress cast, including Berry, couldn’t get Abby-level jacked, but I think what Ramsey proves is that simply looking like the character isn’t really the main factor of consideration. I think the physicality of Abby is probably the more important part of the character, given that she’s meant to be an imposing figure doing battle with Ellie. And as such, I have to wonder how much it actually matters as to whether or not the actress who ultimately plays Abby…looks like Abby. Clearly that has worked out just fine! Ramsey is incredible as Ellie, perhaps with a bit more of an edge than the game version, but it truly does not matter in the least that they look different.
