10 | Claudia Lee Black (born on 11 October 1972 in Sydney, Australia) is an Australian actress best known for her ScienceFiction roles, most notably as Aeryn Sun in ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' (for which she won a Saturn Award) and Vala Mal Doran in ''Series/StargateSG1''. A familiar face from Australian TV, she had breakthrough roles in both ''Film/QueenOfTheDamned'' and ''Film/PitchBlack'' ([[ChronicallyKilledActor dying messily]] in each). Until late in her career, spotting Black's screen credit was a telltale sign of [[CaliforniaDoubling Australia Doubling]]. |
11 | |
12 | Since then, Black has popped up in numerous American productions -- usually as a FakeAmerican -- including ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' and ''Series/TheDresdenFiles''. |
13 | |
14 | Though her natural accent (switching effortlessly between Australian, British, and New Zealander) is rather underused on network TV, it should be immediately recognizable to nerds of all stripes. Black has a formidable résumé of voice credits, including ''Franchise/DragonAge'', ''Franchise/MassEffect'', ''VideoGame/{{Uncharted}}'', ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'', and ''VideoGame/DiabloIII''. Basically, if the game contains a female Brit, she's either voiced by Black or Creator/JenniferHale. |

16 | She is also Jewish and proud of her heritage. |
17 | |
18 | She also plays a mean guitar. |

89 | * TheCastShowOff: |
90 | ** The lizard tongue trick from "Won't Get Fooled Again". |
91 | ** Even though the Sebacean language sounds like someone playing dialogue in reverse, it's actually Claudia speaking backwards. |
92 | ** It only comes up occasionally in her roles, (such as Crichton's dream sequence in "Revenging Angel") but she has quite the singing voice as well. |
93 | ** She can roller-skate, which is a skill that came in handy during [[Recap/StargateSG1S10E20Unending a particular episode on Stargate SG1]] |
94 | * EvilSoundsDeep: Given her naturally deep, husky voice, this happens by default whenever she plays a villain. |
95 | * FakeAmerican: A few of her roles in American TV series utilize this. |
96 | * FakeBrit: So often used that many viewers usually don't know that she's an Aussie. |
97 | * TheGunslinger: Typifies most of her on-screen characters. |
98 | * HellbentForLeather: Quite a few of her roles. |
99 | * HiddenDepths: She is a survivor of C-PTSD and PTSD and is a Trauma Coach. |
100 | * RealLifeRelative: In ''Dragon Age: Inquisition'' her character Morrigan's son Kieran is voiced by her actual son, Odin. |
