Samantha Ferris is a Canadian actress who has contributed voice work to several English-language adaptations of anime series. Born in North Vancouver, British Columbia, on November 2, 1968, Ferris began her career in media as a television reporter for stations in Bellingham, Washington, and Vancouver during the mid-1990s, working under the name Janie Ferris. She later transitioned into acting, building a career in both live-action television and voice-over work.

In the realm of anime, Ferris is recognized for providing the English voice of Sally Po in the Mobile Suit Gundam Wing franchise. She voiced the character in the Mobile Suit Gundam Wing television series and reprised the role for the film Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz Special Edition. Her other notable anime voice roles from this period include Panther in the series Saber Marionette J and Teresa Wong in the miniseries Earth Maiden Arjuna.

Beyond anime, Ferris's voice work extends to video games, with credits including roles in the CSI: Crime Scene Investigation series and the snowboarding game SSX on Tour. While she has had a prolific career in front of the camera with prominent roles in television series such as The 4400 and Supernatural, her work in anime represents a consistent thread in her early career as a voice artist throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s.
