Erin Grey DeLisle-Griffin (pronounced De-lyle) is an American actress, voice actress, comedian, and singer-songwriter.

Early Life
DeLisle was born Erin Grey Van Oosbree in Fort Ord, California on August 24, 1973. Through her father, she is of Dutch and Norwegian descent. Through her mother, she is of Mexican and Irish descent. Grey's childhood was difficult; her mother was a singer and musician who suffered from alcoholism and drug addiction and her father was a truck driver with a passion for country music. Her parents divorced when she was young, and Grey was primarily raised by her grandmother, Eva Flores Ruth, who was a  vocalist who performed with salsa legend Tito Puente. DeLisle was heavily into goth bands like The Cure, but since her mother was a born-again Pentecostal, she forbid secular music. Her records that contain goth music or heavy metal were burned. Grey was also forbidden to wear pants and makeup. At the age of 17, she rebelled against the Pentecostal church and started singing gospel tunes in her late teens. She later entered the world of stand-up comedy on the advice of a close friend. DeLisle imitated voices very well, and was advised to take a shot at voice acting.
