Tiger Darrow
Description
Tiger Darrow is an American actress and musician whose early career included voice work for English adaptations of anime series produced by ADV Films in the early 2000s. Born on December 18, 1992 in Dallas, Texas, she was raised in a family of artists and began performing at a young age. Her first voice-over role came at the age of six, providing the voice of Daphne in a production of Blithe Spirit. This early start in voice performance was followed by work in theater, independent films, and mainstream movies directed by Robert Rodriguez, such as Spy Kids 2 and The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D.
In the realm of anime, Darrow is primarily recognized for her work on projects dubbed by ADV Films. Her most frequently cited role is as the voice of Athena Imai in the original video animation series Cosplay Complex. The series, a comedy centered on a school cosplay club, featured Darrow voicing the young younger sister of another club member. Her involvement in this title is consistently documented across multiple sources. In addition to Cosplay Complex, her voice can be heard in other ADV-produced anime from the same period, including Happy Lesson and Magical Play. She also provided the English voice for the character Shuu in the anime series GetBackers.
Darrow's work in anime placed her among a pool of voice actors frequently utilized by ADV Films in Texas during the early 2000s. In productions like Cosplay Complex and Magical Play, she worked alongside other regulars in the local voice talent community, such as Leigh Anderson Fisher, Robert Matney, and L.B. Bartholomee. Her mother, actress Peyton Hayslip, was also involved in the industry and appeared in some of the same productions.
While her anime voice work represents a part of her early career, Darrow's professional activities also prominently include live-action acting and music. She attended the Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts and later majored in Music Composition and Theory at New York University. As a musician and singer-songwriter, she has released albums, received nominations such as for the John Lennon Songwriting Competition, and had her compositions featured in film, including selections for the 2010 Robert Rodriguez film Machete. Her later acting work has continued primarily in independent and mainstream film and television.
