Career

[edit]

Hoffman grew up in the Detroit area and graduated fromMichigan State.[10]She was a model for the promotional pictures ofSam Raimi's 1981 filmThe Evil Dead,[2][11][12]and has participated in severalJosh Becker-directed films and episodes, includingRunning Time,Cleveland Smith: Bounty Hunteras well as small roles in Raimi's filmsCrimewaveandDarkman.While in Los Angeles, she worked as an actress on a number of plays[1]and also a narrator model for some auto shows. One of her first jobs there was doing aBudweisercommercial withLeon Redbone.She starred alongsideNed Beattyas a historian who time travels with a group of scientists in the 1989 filmTime Trackers.[13][14]She had a starring guest role asEchidna,the Mother of all Monsters, in Raimi's television showHercules: The Legendary Journeys,and would make other appearances in the series.[11][15]

Hoffman has been involved in voiceovers for anime titles. Many of her roles have been under an alias such as Ruby Marlowe, which was her character's name in her 1994 filmDouble Exposure.She worked with Animaze / Pioneer Entertainment on theFushigi Yugi: The Mysterious Playanime series, where she served as the voice director as well as voice the starring role ofMiaka Yuki;the show, along with another Pioneer productionEl-Hazard,where she voicesRune Venus,would air regularly on theInternational Channel.Her voice was not warmly received by critics onAnime News Networkwho disliked her squealing schoolgirl tone,[16]and high pitch,[17]although Mike Dungan of Mania find her direction and acting to be entertaining.[18]

She starred as Mima Kirigoe inPerfect Blue,a psychological horror film bySatoshi Konabout a formerJapanese idolwho tries her hand at acting, but whose life falls apart when she is stalked by an obsessed fan and her associates are murdered one by one. Carlos Ross of THEM Anime Reviews considered the general dub acting as "sophisticated, subtle, and well-done",[19]while Chris Homer of Fandom Post enjoyed both the English and the Japanese versions.[20]On the DVD extra for the film, Hoffman gave a Q&A about her character.[21]She would also voice title character Lain Iwakura inSerial Experiments Lain;she plays a teenager who is deeply involved in the computer network world. Aaron Silver of Anime News Network thought the dubbing was decent but her role as Lain lacked some emotion in comparison with her Japanese voice counterpart.[22]

With the studioBang Zoom! Entertainmentshe voicedFuu HououjiinMagic Knight Rayearth,which was about a trio of junior high students who are transported to a fantasy world. Both Rayearth seasons were dubbed into English. In 2001, she worked with Pioneer (now part of Geneon Entertainment) to ADR directAh! My Goddess: The Movie,a feature film in theOh My Goddessfranchise in which she also voiced the title characterBelldandy.[23]In a review of the movie, Karen Gellender of Mania, who was impressed by Hoffman's previous performances as Mima and Lain, thought the dubbing was a mixed bag, and that her portrayal of Belldandy was the weakest of the bunch, with rather forced acting of emotional dialogue.[24]In contrast, Allen Divers of Anime News Network thought the English cast was suitable and comparable to the Japanese version. Hoffman would later reprise the role of Belldandy in a series of anime shorts calledThe Adventures of Mini-Goddess,where she also served as its ADR script writer and the ADR director.[23]She would also have a title role asMizuho KazamiinPlease Teacher,in which she portrays a teacher who marries her student and is actually a space alien,[25]and a title role asMahoro AndouinMahoromatic: Automatic Maiden,where she plays an android maid.[26][27]She also became married toRif Huttonin 2001.[28]

In the fantasy adventureScrapped Princess,Hoffman playsRaquel Casull,the older sister of the title character. Theron Martin of Anime News Network describes her character as initially ditzy but becomes sensible and coldly pragmatic, and that her voice was a particularly good fit,[3]and a dead-on portrayal.[29]Hoffman would voice high school studentShinobu Maeharain theLove Hinaromantic comedy series, and supporting characterRyoko Asakurain Bang Zoom!'s dubbing ofThe Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiyaseries.[30]She had recurring roles in the related anime seriesLucky Starwhere she plays Inori Hiiragi, the eldest sister of theHiiragi family,and Yukari Takara who isMiyuki's mother.

Hoffman would continue voice acting in the 2010s. In 2013, she voicedIrisviel von EinzberninFate/Zero,a prequel to theFate/stay nightseries.[31]Outside of anime productions, Hoffman has been involved in a number of animated films, includingFrozenandTangled,where she participates in background voices (ADR loop groups or Additional Voices).[8]In 2012, she was a panelist in theSAG Foundation's Voice-Over Summit held in the Los Angeles area where she discussed ADR, Voice Matching, and Voice Replacement.[32]She voices in video game series, including.hack//G.U.where she voicesAtoli,[33]andXenosagawhere she voicesKOS-MOSinXenosaga Episode III: Also sprach Zarathustra.[33][34]She also continues to act in local theatre productions.[35][36][37]
