Nov 6 Episode 289: Marÿke Hendrikse

Marÿke Hendrikse has the kind of filmography that shows the range of roles available to versatile voice actors who are willing to put in the work, and the kind of personality that has fun while they’re doing it. Marÿke’s lengthy and diverse list of credits includes Slugterra, Johnny Test, Beat Bugs, LEGO: Nexo Knights, Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks, Polly Pocket, multiple Barbie movies, Black Lagoon, and Sausage Party. It’s an especially impressive filmography when you consider that Marÿke’s original career plan was to be a ballet dancer – until a fateful karaoke party in high school when none other than voice legend Tara Strong suggested she consider giving voice acting a try. In this fun and riveting conversation with Sabrina Rani Furminger, Marÿke talks about being an elementary school troublemaker (when she wasn’t in the ballet studio, working at being a “bunhead”), AI, the Tara Strong karaoke party that changed the game, and why Black Lagoon’s nihilistic killer Revy is a personal favourite.
