Annie Live! and the Role of Molly
NBC’s December 2021 broadcast of Annie Live! gave Kakaletris the role of Molly, the youngest orphan in Miss Hannigan’s care, opposite Celina Smith’s Annie, Harry Connick Jr.’s Daddy Warbucks, and Taraji P. Henson’s Miss Hannigan. Reviewers singled her out among the orphan ensemble, with TheaterMania pointing to her comedic timing and stage presence holding up next to a cast that included Tituss Burgess, Megan Hilty, and Nicole Scherzinger. She was ten years old at the time of the broadcast and had already logged appearances on Sesame Street and Nick Jr. programming before the live event aired.
Voice Work in Mobile Suit Gundam: Cucuruz Doan’s Island
Her credited anime voice role came in the 2022 English dub of Mobile Suit Gundam: Cucuruz Doan’s Island, the Yoshikazu Yasuhiko feature film expanding on the original 1979 series episode. Kakaletris voices Tita, one of the orphaned children living on the remote island alongside the deserter Doan. The part places her inside a long-running franchise dub tradition and marked her entry into anime localization work alongside her stage and television credits.
