Downey's career in voice acting for anime began when they joined the cast of the Pokémon dub during the series known as Pokémon the Series: XY. Their most prominent and best-known role to date is providing the voice for the Mythical Pokémon Hoopa in its powerful Hoopa Unbound form for the feature film Pokémon the Movie: Hoopa and the Clash of Ages. In this film, Downey voiced the unbound, towering manifestation of the character, while fellow actor Lori Phillips voiced Hoopa in its smaller, confined form. In addition to this significant film role, Downey also voiced the character Ippei within the main Pokémon anime series.

Beyond these major roles, Downey has lent their voice to several other minor characters within the Pokémon world. These appearances include voicing one of the henchmen working for the character Viren, an unnamed worker in the episode XY132, and a chauffeur in the episode SM017 of Pokémon the Sun & Moon series. While their credited work is primarily within the Pokémon franchise, Downey was also part of a small writing group that included Theresa Buchheister, another voice actor for the anime, indicating a connection to the broader creative community involved in the series. No specific awards or other major achievements outside of this body of voice work are documented in the available information.
