Greta Lee’s Path From Prestige Drama to Animated Voice Work
Screen credits like Past Lives, Russian Doll and The Morning Show established Greta Lee as a dramatic and comedic actress long before animation studios came calling. Her voice work developed as a parallel track rather than a primary career, picked up in bursts between film shoots and stage engagements. That pattern makes her animation resume compact but distinct, weighted toward one recurring character and a handful of one-off supporting roles rather than a long list of dubbing credits.
Lyla and the Spider-Verse Trilogy
Her most visible voice role began almost as a secret. In Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, she supplied the voice of Lyla in a blink-and-miss-it post-credits scene, credited only as “Interesting Person #2” alongside Oscar Isaac’s cameo. Marvel brought the character back in full for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, where Lyla serves as the Spider-Society’s AI assistant, giving Lee far more dialogue and a bigger stake in the franchise’s expanding mythology.
HouseBroken, Rumble and Strays
Fox’s adult animated sitcom HouseBroken gave Lee a recurring home from 2021 to 2023, casting her as the goldfish Bubbles along with a scattering of smaller characters across the show’s run. That same year she voiced a councilwoman in the animated feature Rumble, and by 2023 she had joined Universal’s Strays as Bella, a pampered Pomeranian caught up in the film’s raunchy road trip plot. The rabbit sidekick in 2024’s The Tiger’s Apprentice added another family-animation credit to the stretch.
Toy Story 5 and What Comes Next
Pixar cast Lee as Lilypad, a new villain, in Toy Story 5, set for release in 2026. The role marks her first venture into one of animation’s flagship franchises and suggests studios are starting to view her voice work as more than a side project. Whether that translates into a heavier animation slate remains to be seen, but it places her alongside a growing group of live-action actors building parallel careers in voice.
