Inside Natasha Lyonne's Career From Child Actor To Poker Face
By Mia Tucker
Lyonne's irreverence and grit set her apart from other actresses, but her voice is truly her calling card. Her harsh, hoarse, cigarette-deepened, and super-accented sound unmistakably belongs to her. She clearly knows this and has definitely capitalized on it through her various projects as a voice actor.
She's put her voice to work across the board in animated film and television, with credits as Loretta Geargrinder in the 2005 film "Robots," Smoky Quartz on Cartoon Network's "Steven Universe," Gaz Digzy on Adult Swim's "Ballmastrz: 9009", Merton in the 2022 film "DC League of Super-Pets," as well as a variety of characters in "The Simpsons" and Netflix's "Big Mouth" (Suzette, Motel Pillow, Intellect Sphinx, and VHS Tape, to name a few).
Per The Hollywood Reporter, Lyonne is also set to join Ricky Gervais, Anthony Ramos, and Zach Woods in voicing a character on Bron Digital's "Fables," a new animated series putting a modern twist on classic children's fables such as Aesop's "The Tortoise and the Hare," "The Lion and the Mouse," and "The Boy Who Cried Wolf." Any fans of Lyonne's pipes should keep an ear out for these projects.
