Daniella Evangelista
Description
Daniella Evangelista is a Canadian actress and model born September 20, 1982, in Vancouver, British Columbia. Her career in the entertainment industry began in 1994. While she is best known for her live-action roles, particularly as Tracy Antonelli on the teen drama Edgemont from 2001 to 2005, she has also performed voice work for several English-language anime adaptations. Her work in animation forms a small but recognizable part of her broader acting portfolio.
One of Evangelista’s credited anime voice roles is Asuka Sakurai in the supernatural horror series The SoulTaker, which was released in 2002. The character Asuka is a central figure in the series, which follows a young man who can transform into a powerful entity known as the SoulTaker. Her performance in this series represents a notable contribution to the anime genre during the early 2000s when many Japanese animated shows were being localized for North American audiences.
In addition to her role in The SoulTaker, Evangelista provided the voice for the character Kana Iwata in the English version of the popular and long-running children’s anime series Hamtaro, also released in 2002. Hamtaro, based on the manga by Ritsuko Kawai, follows the adventures of a hamster and his friends, and was a significant title for anime distribution in North America at the time. These two roles, both from the same year, represent the primary known examples of her work as an anime voice actor.
Beyond her anime-specific credits, Evangelista has appeared in numerous other television series and films. Her live-action television work includes guest roles on prominent science fiction and fantasy series such as Stargate SG-1, The 4400, The Outer Limits, and Supernatural. Her film appearances include roles in Disturbing Behavior, the horror film Ripper, and the thriller Cabin by the Lake. Her career has spanned a variety of genres, demonstrating a range that extends from teen dramas to horror and sci-fi. She has remained active in the industry for several decades.
