I was thrilled to voice the sassy demolition weapons expert, Marissa Ronson - codenamed "Tweed" in Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City.

I had a blast working on this game with Liam O'Brien, Sam Riegel, Andrew Kishino, Nika Futterman, Imari Williams, Gwendoline Yeo, David Cooley, Eden Riegel, Courtenay Taylor, Michelle Ruff, Gideon Emery, Gregg Berger, Desmond Askew, and many others!

Tweed has such spunky hilarious lines, and constantly plays off the other members of the Special Ops Echo Six Team with quick wit as they fight off the hordes of zombies!

I was thrilled when Epic Games officially announced the cast of Gears Of War 3. I absolutely LOVED the Gears Of War books and fell in love with the wildly spirited Bernie Mataki. It was a blast bringing her to life!

I had SO much fun immersing myself in the Gears world and working with the amazingly talented Chris Borders, Rod Ferguson, and the rest of the team at Epic Games, Microsoft and Technicolor.

I started working on this game in late 2010, and finished in early 2011. It is such a relief I don't have to keep the secret any more!

I am excited to play Gears 3 now!

Tess's alter-ego, The Blender Girl travelled to the CBS Interactive headquarters in San Francisco to shoot some videos for Chow in their test kitchen.

The Blender Girl was previously featured as Chow's Member Of The Month in February 2011. Chow's senior food editor, Jill Santopietro, and Tess got along so s'blendedly during their interview that the Chow team invited Tess to create five vegan blender-inspired Chow Tips.
