Story By Mitchell Smith

Hello everybody today I’m taking a look at voice actor Tara Strong. Born in 1973 in Toronto, Canada. Strong was interested in acting at a young age and from the late eighties to today she has voiced some of the most memorable characters in modern animation. In 1987 Strong voiced Hello Kitty along with other shows like Care Bears, Garbage Pail Kids, and the animated series Beetlejuice. Rolling into the nineties Strong picked up rolls in Super Mario, Bill & Ted, and X-Men. In the late nineties she landed one of her biggest rolls Dil Pickles on Rugrats. Other voices from the nineties over into the 2000 include Batgirl, Bubbles from The Power Puff Girls , and various voices on Family Guy. When the 2000 rolled around Strong already had a name for herself and she landed the roll of Timmy Turner from the Fairly Odd Parents along with Raven from Teen Titans.

Strong also voiced many great voices in shows such as Transformers, Avatar, Ben 10, Justice League, and Batman. When 2010 rolled around Strong had already solidified her name in animation voice acting. That did not slow her down one bit and she grabbed rolls in shows like My Little Pony and Futurama. Strong was Lion-O from Thundercats, Mary-Jane from Spiderman, Penny from inspector Gadget and among many other great voices Susie from Uncle Grandpa which if you have never watched this one it is a crazy off the wall hilarious cartoon, check it out. Rounding out the 2000 and into 2020s Strong reprised many rolls including movies from her respected tv characters. Among many animated movies voicing familiar characters Strong also did new voices in Ice Age, Monsters University, Sing, and is also the I love you function on Ted from
