She was the voice of Padmé Amidala in the *Star Wars: The Clone Wars* animated film and television series that aired on Cartoon Network from 2008 to 2014.

Outside of science fiction films and games, she voiced Ginger the Pig in *A Pig's Tail*, an animated 2012 short film made by Aardman Animations for The Humane Society. She also runs a charity website called Games for Soldiers where she collects video game donations for U.S. soldiers overseas.
