This person has been in several movies and does voiceovers for cartoons as well, one show in particular that catches my attention when I’m not binge watching family guy. She started off acting in movies such as Boyz n the Hood, Poetic Justice, Friday, and in 2005 Miss Congeniality 2, her name is Regina King. Regina King grew up in Los Angeles and eventually graduated from University of Southern California. Regina has been nominated and won several awards for best actress and outstanding performance throughout her career.

Her past has been filled with success and so is her future, from 2005 until 2014 Regina worked on the television series “The Boondocks” where she played the voice of two young boys Riley and Huey, Riley being the little boy who thinks he’s bad but just is always all talk, and his older brother Huey who is very laid back, smart, and knows every form of Karate and Taekwondo there is.

What I like is that Regina is able to bring such life to the 2 boys and you would never know it was a woman who talked for them. That’s one of the things that can be so fascinating about voice acting, it’s not uncommon for men to play little girls or for women to play little boys, in fact the actors for the cartoon show the Rugrat’s were all women except the one man who spoke for Chuckie, so playing opposite rolls isn’t something new. It’s a career with no limitations.

Just a little video of Regina King Recording lines for Riley and Huey
