Kath Soucie

Birth Date: 20/02/1967

Kath Soucie built her name in animation after leaving on-camera stage work behind in the mid-1980s. Best known for voicing Phil and Lil DeVille in Rugrats, Lola Bunny in Space Jam, and Maddie Fenton in Danny Phantom, she's also lent her voice to Kanga in the Winnie the Pooh franchise, Sally Acorn in Sonic the Hedgehog, and Cubert Farnsworth in Futurama across a career spanning decades of television, film, and video games.

Kath Soucie’s Rise Through Animation’s Golden Age

Stage work in New York came first for Kath Soucie, who trained at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts before television commercials and made-for-TV films filled her early resume. The confines of on-camera work never suited her, and by 1986 she’d found her true medium, voicing three different characters on Rambo: The Force of Freedom. A year later she stepped into Janine Melnitz on The Real Ghostbusters, taking over from Laura Summer. That role opened the floodgates. Through the late 1980s and into the 1990s, Soucie built a career on elastic range, playing Ingrid “Minx” Kruger in Jem, Linka in Captain Planet and the Planeteers, and Fifi La Fume alongside Li’l Sneezer in Tiny Toon Adventures. Nickelodeon handed her a defining assignment in 1991: twins Phil and Lil DeVille, plus their mother Betty, on Rugrats. She carried all three characters through the show’s original run, its television movies, three theatrical Rugrats films, and the Paramount+ revival decades later.

Lola Bunny, Danny Phantom, and the Reach of a Working Character Actor

Warner Bros. cast her as Lola Bunny for Space Jam in 1996, a role that stuck with the Looney Tunes brand for years after. Dexter’s mother on Dexter’s Laboratory and Sally Acorn on Sonic the Hedgehog kept her busy through the decade, and Disney brought her into the fold for Kanga across the Winnie the Pooh franchise, Wendy in Return to Never Land, and Perdita starting with 101 Dalmatians II. Danny Phantom gave her Maddie Fenton, a scientist mother balancing warmth with an oddball edge, while Futurama had her voicing Cubert Farnsworth for years on Comedy Central and later Hulu. Video games drew her in too, with credits across the Fallout and Baldur’s Gate franchises through Interplay and BioWare-era titles, plus King’s Quest for Sierra. More recent work includes young Nick Wilde in Zootopia and Jek Lawquane in Star Wars: The Bad Batch, proof that four decades into the profession she’s still finding new characters to inhabit.
