Key Information
Early life
[edit]Strong was born as Tara Lyn Charendoff in Toronto, Ontario, on February 12, 1973,[2] the younger daughter of Syd and Lucy Charendoff.[3] Her parents are of Russian-Jewish ancestry, and her grandparents emigrated to Canada after fleeing pogroms in Russia.[4] Strong has called her Jewish background "a big part of her identity".[5] Her grandfather was a cantor, while her grandmother ran a catering business in Toronto's Beth Radom Congregation.[6] She has a sister.[7]
At age four, Strong became interested in acting and volunteered to be a soloist at a school production.[8] Strong worked in Yiddish Theatre in Toronto, where she memorized her lines phonetically because she did not know the Yiddish language. Strong also performed with the Toronto Jewish Theater, where she acted in A Night of Stars and was featured in an audiotape for "Lay Down Your Arms" with the Habonim Youth Choir, singing the lyrics in both English and Hebrew.[8]

While recording lines for her role as Dil in Rugrats, one scene's script for Strong's character prompted her to make crying noises. During the taping, the producers suddenly paused and revealed to Strong that her voice acting of a child had been so realistic that she had inadvertently made a woman in the studio lactate. As the role was otherwise going to be offered to Madonna, Strong subsequently quipped that she was proud that the incident led to her keeping the role.[12][13]
She has also lent her voice to English-dubbed localizations of Japanese anime such as Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke, as well as several video games, including her work as Elisa and Ursula in Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops; Paz Ortega Andrade in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain; Rikku in Final Fantasy X, its sequel Final Fantasy X-2, and Kingdom Hearts II; Krista Sparks in Twisted Metal: Head-On; Talwyn Apogee in Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction and its sequel, Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty; Keira in Jak and Daxter series; and Juliet Starling, the main character of Lollipop Chainsaw.

She also made guest appearances on such shows as Forever Knight, Street Legal, Touched by an Angel, Take Home Chef, Party of Five, Comic Book: The Movie, Kung Fu: The Legend Continues, 3rd Rock from the Sun and The Drew Carey Show.[15] In January 2013, she voiced the character Plum in Cartoon Hangover's Bravest Warriors, created by Pendleton Ward.

August 2004).[30] They lived in Los Angeles and were formerly the owners of VoiceStarz, an online company that taught people how to get into the voice-over business.[31] On July 24, 2019, she filed for divorce,[32] which was finalized on January 5, 2022.[33] That same year, she started dating social media entrepreneur Willie Morris, who runs Happy Goat Farm, a farmland based in Yosemite.[34]
Activism
[edit]In 2012, during the BronyCon event in New Jersey, she attended a lunch with fans from the military.[35] In 2013, she was involved with a charity group called Bronies for Good, helping them raise funds for a family whose daughter had a brain tumour.[5][36]

Strong has been a vocal supporter of Israel since the 2023 October 7 attacks.[38][39][40] She was fired from the independent animated series Boxtown after she liked several anti-Palestinian tweets and a tweet that equated all Muslims to Hamas and ISIS, and shared a screenshot from the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), which claimed Hamas would take over the world.[41][42] Bandit Mill Animation, the studio behind Boxtown, issued a statement explaining that "This decision was due to a trend among Tara's recent online activity, including posts that promote controversial messages regarding the peoples of Palestine currently being affected by the ongoing Israel-Palestine crisis... This was not a difficult decision."[42]
In March 2024, Strong signed an open letter denouncing filmmaker Jonathan Glazer's Oscar speech for The Zone of Interest, in which he criticized Israel's actions in the Gaza war.[43]

Early life
Upbringing in Toronto
Tara Lyn Charendoff was born on February 12, 1973, in Toronto, Ontario, to Syd and Lucy Charendoff, who operated a convenience, toy, and candy store called The Wiz, with Syd also working as a pharmacist.[1][6] She was the younger daughter, raised alongside her older sister Marla in a close-knit family environment.[7] Strong grew up in an observant Jewish household, attending Hebrew school and singing in the children's choir at her local synagogue, where family traditions included maintaining a kosher kitchen, lighting Shabbat candles on Friday nights, and observing Passover seders.[8] Her grandfather served as a cantor, while her grandmother and mother contributed to the catering operations at Toronto's Beth Radom Congregation.[8] The family's Jewish heritage was shaped by historical traumas, including the loss of half its members in the Holocaust and her grandmother's efforts to rescue five sisters from Russian pogroms by facilitating their emigration to the United States.[8][9] This upbringing instilled a strong sense of cultural identity and respect for tradition, reinforced by experiences such as participating in the March of the Living at age 16, which involved touring Nazi concentration camps in Poland and singing at sites like Auschwitz-Birkenau.[8][9]Initial acting and education
Strong first demonstrated an interest in performing at age four by volunteering as a soloist in a Toronto school production, which ignited her passion for acting.[10] [11] Her professional career commenced at age 13, when she secured roles in Toronto-based television, film, and musical theater productions.[2] [12] Her earliest professional voice roles began in the late 1980s, including voicing Bridget in the 1987–1988 animated series Sylvanian Families, one of her first recorded credits.[13] In 1987, Strong obtained her first leading role in animation, voicing the title character in the Canadian-American-Japanese series Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theater, marking her entry into voice acting.[14] [15] [16] This opportunity followed her acceptance into a performing arts school around the same age, where she honed her skills through formal training.[17] Strong supplemented her early experience with classes in improv and sketch comedy at The Second City in Toronto, which she pursued alongside her burgeoning roles.[10] Upon completing high school, she gained admission to multiple colleges offering performing arts programs, though she prioritized professional commitments over further formal enrollment.[18] These foundational experiences in theater and voice work laid the groundwork for her transition to Los Angeles and expanded animation opportunities in the late 1980s and 1990s.[2]Professional career
Breakthrough in animation (1990s–2000s)
Strong's entry into American animation occurred in the early 1990s following her move to Los Angeles, where she secured guest and recurring voice roles in series such as Beetlejuice (1989–1991), voicing characters like Claire Brewster, and Piggsburg Pigs! (1990), as Dotty.[1] These early appearances built on her prior Canadian work, including the lead in Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theater (1987), but marked her initial forays into U.S. production.[2] A pivotal role came in 1998 with Bubbles in The Powerpuff Girls, an original Cartoon Network series created by Craig McCracken that premiered on November 18, 1998, and ran until 2005.[19] Strong's portrayal of the high-pitched, optimistic superpower trio member highlighted her vocal range for youthful, energetic characters, contributing to the show's critical and commercial success, including multiple Emmy nominations.[20][19] This performance is widely regarded as her breakthrough, establishing her as a go-to talent for animated leads amid the era's boom in children's programming.[21] Around the same time, she voiced Dil Pickles in Rugrats starting with the 1998 feature film The Rugrats Movie, expanding her presence in Nickelodeon properties. Entering the 2000s, Strong landed the starring role of Timmy Turner in The Fairly OddParents, a Nickelodeon animated series that debuted on March 30, 2001, and continued through 2017, amassing over 150 episodes.[22] Her depiction of the mischievous boy with fairy godparents further cemented her versatility in comedic, child-protagonist voices, aligning with the network's emphasis on long-running hits.[3] Additional key credits included Barbara Gordon/Batgirl in The New Batman Adventures (1997–1999) and Raven in Teen Titans (2003–2006), the latter introducing a more subdued, introspective tone to her portfolio within DC Comics adaptations. These roles, spanning Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, and Warner Bros. Animation, underscored her rapid ascent during a decade of expanding voice acting demand driven by cable television growth.[1]Major roles in television and film
Strong voiced the optimistic and bubbly character Bubbles, one of the three superhero sisters, in the Cartoon Network animated series The Powerpuff Girls, which aired from 1998 to 2005.[3] She also originated the voice of Timmy Turner, the young protagonist who uses magical fairy godparents, in Nickelodeon's long-running series The Fairly OddParents, spanning 2001 to 2017.[3] Additional early television credits include Dil Pickles, the infant brother in the Nickelodeon series Rugrats, starting from the character's introduction in 2000.[2] In the DC Comics animated adaptation Teen Titans (2003–2006), Strong provided the voice for Raven, the stoic, half-demon sorceress and team member dealing with emotional suppression and supernatural heritage.[3] She reprised the role in the direct-to-video film Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo (2006) and later in the theatrical release Teen Titans Go! To the Movies (2018).[1] Strong further portrayed Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) in the R-rated animated feature Batman: The Killing Joke (2016), which adapts the graphic novel exploring the Joker's origin and Batgirl's paralysis.[1] Strong delivered the voice of Twilight Sparkle, the studious unicorn-turned-alicorn princess and central protagonist, in Hasbro's My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic television series from 2010 to 2019.[3] She reprised the character in the animated film My Little Pony: The Movie (2017), where Twilight leads a quest to save her homeland from an ancient evil.[23] Earlier, Strong returned as Bubbles for the theatrical adaptation The Powerpuff Girls Movie (2002), depicting the origin of the superpowered girls created by Professor Utonium.[1]Video game and other media contributions
