Think that Saturday morning cartoon character sounds familiar? Well,
you're certainly not alone. That's because the voice you're hearing
is very likely that of LARA JILL MILLER, the talented young actress
who is increasingly gaining industry attention as a premier voice
talent.

You'll probably recognize her face as well. That's because she spent
6 seasons in your living room, in what would be perhaps her best
known role on the hit NBC sit-com Gimme A Break. Although a stage
veteran since the age of eight (she appeared on Broadway alongside
the legendary Dick Van Dyke in The Music Man), it was the role of
leggy tomboy Samantha that etched her face (and that voice!) into the
minds and hearts of TV viewers everywhere.

But despite being much in demand after her series' lengthy run, this
dynamic teen was determined not to become just another casualty of
the Hollywood lifestyle that had wreaked havoc on so many of her
peers. Deciding it was time to `give herself a break' – she was
determined to finish her education.

After graduating from NYU with a degree in Politics and French
(Dean's List, Phi Beta Kappa, Magna Cum Laude), she went on to obtain
her Juris Doctor from Fordham University School of Law – passing the
Bar Exam in three separate states (NY, NJ & PA). She even played on
the Varsity Tennis Team, finding time to participate in celebrity
tournaments around the country with top pros like Chris Evert and
Martina Navratilova.

Between classes Lara continued to cultivate her passion for acting,
maintaining an active theatre and voiceover career. Even while
pursuing her studies, she was regularly accepting theatre offers on
the east coast – the title role of Jerry Finnegan's Sister, the U.S.
premiere of the The Daly News, Neil Simon's Barefoot in the Park.
She even flew as Peter Pan in the musical of the same name, leaving
her law school graduation early to catch that flight to Never Never
Land!

Upon finishing her schooling, this ambitious young woman returned to
the west coast and had no problem securing work – guest-starring on
PAX TV's Chicken Soup for the Soul, a lead role in the premiere of
the play Spiders at L.A.'s Bitter Truth Theatre, along with a full
slate of voiceover and animation jobs. Over the next two seasons she
became familiar to kids everywhere as "Kathy" on NICKELODEON's The
Amanda Show, and in a similar stint on Nick's hit All That. More
recently she could be seen as the role of "Kate Whitaker" on General
Hospital. All the while, she was continuing to star on the hit
animated series Digimon for FOX (3 seasons), along with its
accompanying feature film.

An accomplished singer, Lara was selected to perform the role
of "Dorothy" on NPR's acclaimed adaptation of the classic The Wizard
of Oz (alongside Annette Bening, John Goodman, Rene Auberjonois, and
Robert Guillaume), as well as the title role in the well known
Knowledge/Adventure series of children's educational CD-ROMs, Adiboo.

Space doesn't allow for a complete list of her voice credits, but
listen for her most recent role of "Olivia" in All Grown Up. (She
gives Tommy Pickles his FIRST KISS!) In addition, she voiced the
roles of "Wanda" in Wanda West, "Eli the Elephant" in Jungle Book,
and most recently "Anne Bronte" in The Brontes – all pilots for
Disney TV Animation. Also, listen for her starring as "Haruka" in
ABC FAMILY's Daigunder and doing triple duty as "Alejo," "Vivienne"
and "Mimi" in the new Astro Boy on the KIDS WB.

Lastly, Lara is excited to be voicing her favorite role to date: that
of "Clifford the Little Red Puppy" in the new PBS award-winning
series Clifford's Puppy Days. She plays the celebrated red canine as
a puppy opposite Henry Winkler as his friend Norville the bird.

Lara is an example of how the combination of talent, perseverance and
diversity can lead to long-term success. The public certainly sees
(and hears) it – she has a strong fan base, and nearly every day Lara
is recognized on the street, her name a frequent buzz on many popular
web sites. With her solid credits and great acting chops, she is
certain to surprise and delight you.
