Annie Murphy Interview: Voicing Ruby Gillman's Evil Mermaid Chelsea
38In DreamWorks Animation’s Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken, Schitt's Creek star Annie Murphy makes her animated feature debut as Chelsea Van Der Zee, the popular new girl in town. Chelsea and Ruby (Lana Condor) are total opposites. Ruby is sweet and unsure of herself whereas Chelsea rides in on a wave of confidence into Oceanside High. While Ruby thinks she's gained a cool new bestie when Chelsea takes her under her wing and reveals she's a mermaid, she's actually about to feel the force of a sinister secret Chelsea is hiding, one that'll dare Ruby to embrace being a kraken like never before.
Collider’s Perri Nemiroff got the chance to sit down with Murphy to chat about making the move from live-action to animation. Murphy reflects on the skills she gained while collaborating with Ruby Gillman director Kirk DeMicco and co-director Faryn Pearl, some of which she intends to apply to her live-action work as well. From her knack for delivering A+ evil laughs to battling imposter syndrome, Nemiroff dives into it all with Murphy.
Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken also features the voices of Toni Collette as Ruby’s overprotective mother, Colman Domingo as her softie father, and Jane Fonda as Ruby's Grandmamah, the kraken queen.
