She didn't realize what she was in for until she auditioned for the role of Chloe Frazer with Nolan North (Nathan Drake). "Nolan and I have decided that we are twins separated at birth because we're basically the same person, except that he's a little more annoying - but only a little," joked Black. "We're really irritating but incredibly funny. The two of us have a fantastic time. I think we drive everyone else nuts, but as long as we're having a good time, who cares, really?"
