Born
and credited as Tara Charendoff until her marriage, Strong became interested in
acting at age 4 when she volunteered to perform in a school production. She
worked with the Yiddish Theater and Toronto
Jewish Theater and was featured
in a recording of “Lay
Down Your Arms” with the Habonim Youth Choir,
singing the song in both English and Hebrew. Her professional debut was at the
age of 13 when she starred as Gracie in Limelight Theater’s production of The Music Man. Along
with a guest-spot on the show T. and T., she
landed her first animated lead role in Hello
Kitty’s Furry Tale Theater. By the time she moved to Los Angeles, she
had already amassed an impressive resume; a trend that would continue well into
her career. Largely, her work has been in animation, but Strong has made
frequent on-camera appearances, most recently in 2021 as Tiggy Sullivan on Pretty Hard Cases,
as well as done video games, such as playing the protagonist of Lollipop Chainsaw, Juliette. Often,
Strong gets called on to play young boy characters like 10-year-old Ben Tennyson in the Ben 10
franchise, Dil Pickles in the Rugrats franchise
(excluding the Paramount+ reboot)
or Timmy Turner in The
Fairly Oddparents. She inherited
the role as the regular voice of DC Comics’
Harley Quinn from Arleen Sorkin (in addition to
already playing Batgirl), and
became part of the phenomenon that was My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic as
lead character Twilight
Sparkle. She often uses her fame and social media presence to promote
animal rescue groups, raise money for charities, decry bullying and promote
Veganism. Throughout her career, she has been nominated for numerous awards
including Action on Film
International Film Festival, Annie
Awards, Behind the Voice
Actors Awards, Daytime Emmy Awards,
Kids’ Choice Awards, NAVGTR Awards, Online Film & Television Association,
Spike Video
Game Awards, a Hollywood Gold
Award, and an Academy of Interactive
Arts & Sciences Award; winning several of them.
