Christine Cavanaugh (born August 16, 1963, died December 22, 2014) was an American voice actress who had a distinctive speaking style and had provided the voice for a large range of cartoon characters. She was best known as the voice of Babe in the hit film, Babe: The Gallant Pig, Chuckie Finster on Rugrats and for being the original voice of Dexter on Dexter's Laboratory. She retired from voice acting and public life in general to spend more time with her family in 2003.




Biography[]

Born in Utah, Cavanaugh moved to Los Angeles, California to become an actress and ended up doing voice work for a friend's film.

In 1991, Cavanaugh started doing the voice of girl duckling Gosalyn Mallard on Disney's Darkwing Duck as well as the voice of Chuckie Finster on the Nickelodeon cartoon Rugrats and later, in 1994, the voice of Oblina, one of the three main monster-students on Aaahh!!! Real Monsters.

Cavanaugh can also be heard on The Critic as the voice of Marty, Jay Sherman's son, along with Nancy Cartwright, who would be her replacement as Chuckie Finster later in 2001. Her voice credits also include the animated series Sonic the Hedgehog, 101 Dalmatians: The Series, Hercules: The Animated Series, The Powerpuff Girls, The Wild Thornberrys, and Recess, as well as the voice of Birdie in McDonald's commercials. In the early 1990s, Cavanaugh also served as an announcer for The Disney Channel for "coming up next" bumpers.

In 1995, Cavanaugh lent her voice to the live-action film Babe in the starring role of Babe the Gallant Pig. Choosing not to participate in the sequel, Babe: Pig in the City, the role was instead played by her Rugrats co-star E.G. Daily who voices Tommy Pickles. In 1996, she started doing the voice of boy-genius Dexter in Dexter's Laboratory and won an Annie Award in 2000 for the hour-long TV special Dexter's Laboratory: Ego Trip.

Cavanaugh also guest starred on several TV shows including Salute Your Shorts, Cheers, Empty Nest, Wings, The X-Files, Everybody Loves Raymond and ER and had supporting roles in the feature films Soulmates and Jerry Maguire. Cavanaugh retired from voice acting in 2001. After her retirement, she was replaced by Candi Milo as the voice of Dexter and by Nancy Cartwright, her co-star in The Critic, as the voice of Chuckie in Rugrats.

On December 22, 2014, Cavanaugh died at her home in Cedar City, Utah of undisclosed causes/leukemia. She was 51 years old. She was cremated and her ashes were scattered into the Great Salt Lake.
