Thundercats 2011 is set to launch this summer on Cartoon Network. Before it begins to air, we want to take an quick look at the voice actors for the new show. While some are very familiar to cartoon fans, others aren’t so easily recognized.
To kick things off, we’re starting with the voice actor who is probably the least recognized; Emmanuelle Chriqui, who will be voicing Cheetara. Click the headline of the story to learn about the new voice of Cheetara, and stay tuned for our next spotlight in a few days. Emmanuelle Chriqui
Born: December 10, 1977
Birthplace: Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Thundercats 2011 Voice: Cheetara
Notable Roles:
- Wrong Turn (2003) – Carly
- You Don’t Mess with the Zohan (2008) – Dalia
- Robot Chicken (2008-2009) – Various
- Entourage (2005-2010) – Sloan McQuewick

—————————————————————————————-
Emmanuelle Chriqui is a relative newcomer to the voice acting world, and an up and coming actress who can be seen in relatively unknown roles in various films. She’s provided various female voices in numerous episodes of Robot Chicken, but isn’t a recurring voice on the show. Her breakout live action role was as recurring character “Sloan McQuewick” on HBO’s smash hit Entourage.
However, the young actress has expressed growing interest in voice acting. she has landed two high profile voice gigs in Thundercats 2011 as Cheetara, and in Disney’s highly anticipated Tron: Uprising (coming 2012) as a character called Page. It’s clear that Chriqui has a bright future ahead of her as both a live action and voice acting star.
Cheetara Voice Actor Spotlight - Emmanuelle Chriqui
Now that's what I call casting!
It's funny that she is described as probably the least recognized voice actor in the Thundercats cast, because she has done very little voice actor work, but to me she is the most recognized actor in the cast because of all of her non-voice onscreen actor work.
I've not actually seen a single film or show she's been in. But I look forward to seeing what she brings to the table, she seems to be quite the up and coming voice talent.
Wow. Not what I was expecting her to look like, color me pleasantly surprised.
Are there any audio files of her voice online?
From the picture, she looks lovely, but that doesn't really help much when you're doing voice work on a cartoon
Haven't heard of her, haven't seen her(until now...and yeah..she's easy on the eyes), so I hope she does a great job on the series.
By the way....she was born in '77? Wow! She looks like she's a teeny bopper.....no older than 20. Time has definitely been good to her.
I recognized her face right away from seeing her in the movie "Snow Day", but that's the only thing I ever remember seeing her in.
I know she was also in "Detroit Rock City", but I haven't seen that movie in ages so I don't remember her character.

If you look at some recent pics of her you can see that she's aged in the last 5 years, but not by much. She still looks like she's in her 20's even though she is now in her 30's.
cool...so google her name and see more of her she is awesome.

I wasn't familar of the actors name, but I'm aware of his work in Batman Beyond--nice. That picture of him looks like it was taken several years ago, as he looks much older in the other pictures.
Can't wait to see (and hear) the new Thundercats cartoon.
