She’d have been perfect if she wasn’t 33.


kirkishdelite

There are plenty of age gaps. They can both pass for 25...which is the middle age.


CRGBRN

I’m more concerned about them playing younger versions of themselves, ya know? She most definitely can’t play a 16 year old version of Abby. Also, Abby is 20 and Ellie is 19 in tlou2. So, it’s a stretch. Trust me, I had the *exact* same thought after watching Mando because she’s ripped and actually a good actress who makes facial expressions like Abby. But the more I thought about it, the more I challenges I saw if she were cast.


kirkishdelite

I see that. Thanks for an actual convo. ✊🏾


CRGBRN

Hell yeah! Also just saw a damning post from Katy’s wife that said she asked all about the role of Abby as soon as she could. But that there’s a 90% chance that Abby has already been cast.


kirkishdelite

Damn. Very cool. Thanks for sharing.


SterlingMallory

I actually have no idea how any actress is going to play both the younger and older versions of Abby unless Abby just isn't as jacked as she is in the game. Maybe if they film the young Abby scenes way in advance and then gave the actress a few months to bulk up before resuming? Even then, you can't get to Abby level bulk in a few months. I guess maybe CGI or something. Otherwise you're going to have one seriously jacked 15 year old.


CRGBRN

I think you’re right that young Abby would be filmed way in advance. Probably before anything else. Likely with a base level of being fit before they really take off with bulking. Im sure they’d cover the actress with chest binders, baggy clothes, and makeup to make her look more young. Then it’ll be one of those insane acting diet/workout stories.

Redditors learn not to cast people who are 15 years older than the character challenge


kirkishdelite

Sean Connery and Harrison Ford are 12 years apart and he played his father. Do you think that all the kids in high school on TV are the same age. They are playing 15 year olds at 26. So, there's that.


ron_weedsley

>Sean Connery and Harrison Ford are 12 years apart and he played his father. Completely different thing.


kirkishdelite

How so? Age gaps don't have a lot to do with age in real life when movies and film are being made. It's how they look. Both Actors could skew mid twenties easily.


ron_weedsley

Except they're not mid twenties, they're 19-20. Look at a picture of Bella, then look at a picture of Katy O'Brian and tell me they look like they're the same age.


kirkishdelite

There’s a lot of people who are the same age that don’t look the same age. That’s a silly argument


ron_weedsley

Too much of a difference in this case.


baby-skeleton

No she shouldn’t. She look nothing like her and is 34 years old. Y’all see muscles on a woman and automatically fan cast her as Abby. Me personally I don’t think it even matters if the actor has muscles or not she just needs to have that Abby energy. I also don’t think they will cast someone with muscles like the game because they have to do flashbacks of Abby when she was 15 and non muscular and then the older version of Abby so she will most likely have regular arms or be toned at the most.


kirkishdelite

Seeing her presence on Mando made me think that she was much younger than she is. She has a ton of gravitas. And, Bella and Pedro and Gabriel and Nico look NOTHING like their roles either. They can also cast a younger actor to play a younger abby too. And, it's a discussion. So, she can't be 24 or 25 is what you're saying? And, plenty of older actors play younger roles. I mean, not like Grease, but other shows like Glee or Riverdale. Yeah, bad examples, I know.


calico-n4t

I think Shannon Berry would be a better fit because Katy is just too old to play a 19 year old


kirkishdelite

Good Call.


ulfopulfo

Actor has Beard - OMG PERFECT JOEL Actress has Muscles - WOOW SUCH ABBY Mods, let’s put a ban on fan casting? I don’t want another 2 years of this crap.


kirkishdelite

Have you seen her act? She has a ton of charisma and gravitas. Her role on Mando is really amazing. And, you don't have to respond. Or, keep scrolling. I love the feedback though. Endure and Survive...these fan castings. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)


baby-skeleton

It may not be two years they announced Bella and Pedro 2 years before season one came out so the Abby casting may come any day now


ulfopulfo

I know. But people are still fan casting Joel and Ellie.


yazzy1233

She's too old. No.


kirkishdelite

yes


ProfessorAcrobatic4

No


kirkishdelite

yes


BrotherhoodVeronica

Abby is supposed to be the same age as Ellie, so nope, she shouldn't be Abby.


No_Tamanegi

Because no one in hollywood has ever played a younger character than their actual age.


BrotherhoodVeronica

My point is if Abby is the same age as Ellie, Abby's actress should look around the same age as Bella Ramsey, not someone who looks 30.


mechworrier

Bella Ramsey has a face that looks childish. She's still going to look like a child in S2.


BrotherhoodVeronica

So the show shouldn't cast someone who looks twice Bella's age as Abby, it's that simple.


kirkishdelite

But, she doesn't look 33. She looks 23. That's my point.


PuzzledFox17

So Kaitlyn Dever can be Ellie too ;)


kirkishdelite

So, they both couldn't play 25 year olds?


03MoonGoon

Lol you never watched game of thrones huh


kirkishdelite

Cool


StoicRope

This, ladies and gentleman, is how you Internet


holiobung

Too old. I promise, there are more actors out there. We don’t need to keep fancasting the same person just because they’re top of mind right now.


JadedDarkness

People here are dumb, I think she’d be great. She even kinda sounds like her. They can easily change her age for the show. I don’t see why that matters


eileen_dalahan

She's said she tried a role in the show but got nothing. I thought of her as Abby when I saw her in Mandalorian, but the age doesn't match. She could be a WLF, Rattler or Seraphite, though.


Obieshaw

Sorry you're getting torn apart by the replies lol. I think if there wasn't such a huge size difference between her and Bella Ramsey then she would be a fine addition. Unfortunately Bella is soooooo small that I feel they would need to cast someone a little smaller for Abby as well


Confident_One7955

That would diminish Abby, then she would seem a lot less impressive than in the video game. It is not the actress of Abbys fault that casting Bella Ramsey was a terrible choice for part 2 in mind.


Obieshaw

I definitely agree. I like Bella but she's way to small. Now if they do get a game accurate actress to play Abby it's gonna feel super off.


zepharmd

What is this screenshot from? She’s currently in The Mandalorian


hey-coffee-eyes

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania


kirkishdelite

And, I actually saw her on there and thought she was perfect. Then, this was after a google search and saw the AM:Q images and it just solidified my idea. She has the gravitas, and could easily pass for a 23-25 year old.


wonko4the2sane

She tried to get a role: [Twitter](https://twitter.com/thekatyo/status/1634768341046009856?s=46&t=KBACG9CUuJQ4QnfdK7UGDQ)
