a walk-on in a film nobody liked, a cartoon fairy princess, one line on family guy, and a spanish gorilla.
the short answer
the notable small parts are a walk-on in zoolander 2 in 2016, a guest voice on family guy in 2014, princess diaspro across thirteen episodes of the winx club english dub from 2011 to 2013, and the english dub of the spanish animated film snowflake, the white gorilla in 2011 — her first voice credit at seventeen.
the film ones
- zoolander 2 (2016). a walk-on, in a sequel almost nobody liked. it is on this page because a complete list is the point rather than a flattering one.
- snowflake, the white gorilla (2011). the english dub of a spanish animated film, and her first voice credit — recorded at seventeen, before the record deal, before put your hearts up.
- underdogs (2016). the english dub of the argentine film metegol, pulled from its us release schedule a week before it was due out. the voice roles page has the fuller account.
the television ones
- winx club (2011–2013). princess diaspro, across thirteen episodes of the nickelodeon english dub of an italian animated series. years of voice work running underneath the sitcom, and almost nobody who knows her music knows it happened.
- family guy (2014). a one-off guest voice, of the kind that exists mostly to establish that somebody is famous enough to be asked.
- swindle (2013). a nickelodeon television film, made during the victorious years and largely forgotten.
why a complete list is the point
the guest appearances as herself
a separate category and a longer one: three visits to rupaul's drag race, carpool karaoke in 2017, mariah carey's christmas special in 2020, and a decade of award-show and talk-show appearances that no filmography counts.
the full credit list is on the screen section, with a search link for each one, because a great deal of this material has no streaming home and only exists as uploads.
why so many of them are dubs
three of the six entries above are english-language dubs of films made in other languages — a spanish animation, an argentine one, an italian television series. that is not a coincidence: dubbing is a job that pays reasonably, records in a booth over a few days, and fits around a shooting schedule. for a working teenage actor with a television contract it is close to the only film work available.
it is also why they are invisible. a dub credit does not appear in a trailer, does not generate press, and rarely shows up in a filmography written from a search engine. the voice roles page is the fuller account of what that half of the career looks like.
