Speaking about her first experience of working on a video game, Dormer said the medium gave her a chance to play more varied roles than on-screen.

“The beauty of lending your voice to a massive video game like Mass Effect: Andromeda you get to play a character that it’s highly likely you’d never be cast as in a TV or film show,” she told Mashable.
