Demonstrating her cross-media fluency, Henwick has become a sought-after voice actor. Her most notable role is Riya in the Netflix interactive special You vs. Wild (2019–2021) and, crucially, the lead role of Cot-Kaeli in the video game As Dusk Falls (2022). Unlike traditional voice-over, As Dusk Falls uses motion capture and facial performance. Henwick has stated that video game acting requires a “different muscle” – one of sustained emotional modulation without physical scenery (Henwick, 2022). This willingness to work in gaming—a medium often dismissed by prestige actors—signals her understanding of where modern storytelling is headed. Jessica Henwick
