Julie Lemieux (born December 4, 1962) is a Canadian voice actress born in Asbestos, Quebec. If you've watched any cartoons or anime dubs from Canada produced in Toronto, then you've probably heard her voice at least once.
Having been active in voice acting since approximately the early 90s (and one who is still highly active to this day), Julie Lemieux is one of the most renowned names in the Toronto voice acting pool. Her versatile range has allowed her to voice a huge variety of characters from little girls and old ladies to comical heroines and fearsome villainesses. However, her main forte is voicing young boys, such as Usagi Tsukino's little brother Shingo in DiC's dub of Sailor Moon, the eponymous bear of Nelvana's Animated Adaptation of Rupert, the title character of Wilbur, Tony Clark in The Amazing Spiez!, and Hunter Steele in Cookie Jar Entertainment's dub of Spider Riders (to name a few notable ones). But that's not to say that she doesn't voice many female characters; indeed, she's also well known for voicing Runo Misaki in the Bakugan franchise, Kelly and Josee in Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race, Renee Ratelle in Jacob Two-Two, and Julie Smockford in Pelswick, among many, many others.
Shares a birthday, (but not birth year) with Jeff Bridges and Tony Todd.
