Philece P. Sampler (July 16, 1953 - July 1, 2021) was an American voice actress and television actress, whose credits include various characters in anime. She also goes by the aliases of Sue Beth Arden, Victoria Pryne, and Debra Cunningham. She got her start on the serial Days of our Lives and the soap opera Another World.



Philece's vocal range was one of the best among voice actors: She demonstrated the ability to play male roles (Cody from Digimon), Old Women roles (Tiptory in Eureka Seven), as well as being able to use her normal voice in many many roles.


Career[]

After graduating from the University of North Texas in 1975 with a drama degree, she went to Hollywood and quickly landed guest roles in a few TV movie and TV series, including an episode of The Incredible Hulk.

Sampler first made a name of herself playing Renee Dumonde DiMera Banning Marshall on the soap Days of our Lives. The Renee character became the focus of a major 1983 murder mystery, resulting in one of the most spectacular send-offs in daytime history. After leaving Days of our Lives in September 1983, she went on to the TV series Rituals, which ran from 19841985. The show also starred future soap stars Mary Beth Evans (Kayla, Days) and Jon Lindstrom (Kevin, GH), as well as veteran soap star Kin Shriner (ex-Scotty, GH; ex-Brian, B&B) and Tina Louise (Ginger from Gilligan's Island.) After Rituals, Philece went on to Another World in 1986 to play Donna Love. She left AW in 1989. She had a couple guest starring roles on TJ Hooker as Sue Ann and on Hunter as Casey. She then took a sabbatical to Japan with her then-fiance. She returned to the US with a few screenplays and formed Philman Entertainment, a production company.

She worked as associate producer of the Los Angeles stage hit Sordid Lives by Del Shores. She performed in UPN's animated series, The Incredible Hulk, as the voice of Betty Ross. She remained pals with her former Days of our Lives love-interest Gregg Marx (David Banning). She performed a voice over on Real Monsters - "Ollie Ollie Oxen Free." She did a voice on Nickelodeon's Rugrats, where she played Emma (Chuckie's love interest) in the episode "He Saw, She Saw". She later voiced Francine, a character from the Rugrats spin-off series All Grown Up!. Sampler was well-known for voicing Mimi Tachikawa in the anime series Digimon.

Death[]

Sampler died at the age of 67 on July 1, 2021, after suffering a heart attack.[4]
