Jen Cohn is an American actress. She is best known for her role as Pharah in the gameOverwatch. She is currently based in New York City.
Life and Career[edit]
Jen Cohn is Jewish and grew up in New Jersey[1] and is primarily a voice actress. She married Robert D. Siegel in 2004[2] and had one son, Mickey Sender Siegel in 2008. She received her BFA from Emerson College.[3]
Cohn is primarily a voice actress, with her first role playing Pamela Anderson on the parody show Celebrity Deathmatch. Her primary work is in videos games, playing multiple roles in the World of Warcraft, Grand Theft Auto, and Star Wars: The Old Republic series, the latter which was one of her first starring roles as the character Lord Zash. Cohn broke into prominence playing Pharah, one of the main characters of the video game Overwatch released on May 24, 2016 by Blizzard Entertainment.[4] She got the role after sending an audition playing Pharah as a villain, and after some confusion on receiving the part, was delighted to find that Pharah was not a villain[5] She has also done a variety of voice over work for commercials and audiobooks.
Cohn has appeared in cameos of many of the works that Siegel wrote including The Wrestler, Turbo, and Pam & Tommy as well as the film he also directed Cruise. They worked together on the film Big Fan, which Siegel wrote and directed while Cohn served as Executive Producer. Afterwards, she stated that she preferred to be on the sidelines and support Seigel.[6]. She hasn't directly worked as a crew member with Siegel since, but Siegel states that Cohn will review his work and writing, sometimes adding her own additions to ensure a better script.[7]
Cohn also has an interest in fashion.[1]
