Lena Headey is a British actress whose extensive career in film and television includes a significant body of work in voice acting for animated series and films. Born in Bermuda on October 3, 1973, and raised in England, she began her acting career in the early 1990s, gaining recognition in British and American productions. While she is internationally renowned for her live-action roles, particularly as Cersei Lannister in the HBO series Game of Thrones, she has also built a parallel career lending her distinctive voice to a range of characters in animation.

Headey's foray into voice acting encompasses projects that bridge the gap between video games and cinema, as well as work in major animated television series. A prominent example of this is her role as Lunafreya Nox Fleuret in the 2016 CGI film Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV, a companion piece to the main video game. In this high-profile production, she joined a cast that included Sean Bean and Aaron Paul to bring the oracle Lunafreya to life, connecting the film's narrative to the world of the game.

Beyond this, her voice work demonstrates recurring collaborations with certain creators and a penchant for fantasy and adventure genres. She has frequently worked with producer and director Guillermo del Toro, voicing the character Morgana (also known as the Pale Lady) across multiple series in his Tales of Arcadia franchise. This includes the series Trollhunters (2016-2018), where she first played the role, and its follow-up, Wizards: Tales of Arcadia (2020). Her association with del Toro's work also extended to the puppet-animated series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance (2019), where she voiced the character Maudra Fara.

Her voice acting credits span a variety of other notable projects. She voiced the villainous Big Mama in the series Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2018). In 2015, she voiced Jeopardy Mouse in the reboot of the classic animated series Danger Mouse. She also took on the role of Amelia Hughes, a recurring character in the animated series Infinity Train (2019-2021). In the realm of superhero animation, Headey voiced the Kryptonian Lara, mother of Superman, in the feature film DC League of Super-Pets (2022) and portrayed Evil-Lyn in the animated series Masters of the Universe: Revelation (2021) and its follow-up, Masters of the Universe: Revolution (2024). Earlier in her career, she also provided voices for characters like Black Widow in The Super Hero Squad Show.

Throughout her voice acting career, Headey has often been cast in roles that require a sense of authority, mystery, or villainy, mirroring the powerful characters she frequently plays on screen. Her contributions to animation and video game-related films form a notable part of her broader acting portfolio, showcasing her versatility as a performer.
