5 | Once she started voice acting, she became a lot more popular. Her roles include her [[StarMakingRole star-making]] turn as Ellie in ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs'' and [[VideoGame/TheLastOfUsII its sequel]], but also Terra in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'', Gretchen Grundler in ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'', Gwen Tennyson in ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'', Petra in ''VideoGame/MinecraftStoryMode'' and Tulip Olsen/MT in ''WesternAnimation/InfinityTrain''.

7 | On TV, she played the forensics scientist Patterson for five seasons of the Creator/{{NBC}} series ''Series/{{Blindspot}}''. She's part of Creator/JossWhedon's ProductionPosse, having appeared in ''Series/{{Dollhouse}}'', an adaptation of Creator/WilliamShakespeare's ''Theatre/MuchAdoAboutNothing'', and (most infamously) ''Film/TheAvengers2012'' as the waitress who gets saved by Captain America. Reportedly, her character was set to have bigger role in the MCU, but this was ultimately scrapped. And, when her filming schedule allows, she appears alongside several voice actor friends in ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'', a weekly ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' campaign streamed live. She takes on the role of the gnome cleric Pike Trickfoot in the first campaign, the [[FallenAngel fallen aasimar]] barbarian Yasha Nydoorin in the second, and the faun druid Fearne Calloway in the third. |
