series.

Career

Hoffman grew up in the Detroit area and graduated from Michigan State.[10] She was a model for the promotional pictures of Sam Raimi's 1981 film The Evil Dead,[2][11][12] and has participated in several Josh Becker-directed films and episodes, including Running Time, Cleveland Smith: Bounty Hunter as well as small roles in Raimi's films Crimewave and Darkman. While in Los Angeles, she worked as an actress on a number of plays[1] and also a narrator model for some auto shows. One of her first jobs there was doing a Budweiser commercial with Leon Redbone. She starred alongside Ned Beatty as a historian who time travels with a group of scientists in the 1989 film Time Trackers.[13][14] She had a starring guest role as Echidna, the Mother of all Monsters, in Raimi's television show Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, and would make other appearances in the series.[11][15]

Hoffman has been involved in voiceovers for anime titles. Many of her roles have been under an alias such as Ruby Marlowe, which was her character's name in her 1994 film

Miaka Yuki; the show, along with another Pioneer production El-Hazard, where she voices Rune Venus, would air regularly on the International Channel. Her voice was not warmly received by critics on Anime News Network who disliked her squealing schoolgirl tone,[16] and high pitch,[17] although Mike Dungan of Mania.com find her direction and acting to be entertaining.[18]

She starred as Mima Kirigoe in Perfect Blue, a psychological horror film by Satoshi Kon about a former Japanese idol who tries her hand at acting, but whose life falls apart when she is stalked by an obsessed fan and her associates are murdered one by one. Carlos Ross of THEM Anime Reviews considered the general dub acting as "sophisticated, subtle, and well-done",[19] while Chris Homer of Fandom Post enjoyed both the English and the Japanese versions.[20] On the DVD extra for the film, Hoffman gave a Q&A about her character.[21] She would also voice title character Lain Iwakura in Serial Experiments Lain; she plays a teenager who is deeply involved in the computer network world. Aaron Silver of Anime News Network thought the dubbing was decent but her role as Lain lacked some emotion in comparison with her Japanese voice counterpart.[22]

With the studio

Mahoromatic: Automatic Maiden, where she plays an android maid.[26][27] She also became married to Rif Hutton in 2001.[28]

In the fantasy adventure

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya series.[30] She had recurring roles in the related anime series Lucky Star where she plays Inori Hiiragi, the eldest sister of the Hiiragi family, and Yukari Takara who is Miyuki's mother
.

Hoffman would continue voice acting in the 2010s. In 2013, she voiced

Xenosaga Episode III: Also sprach Zarathustra.[33][34] She also continues to act in local theatre productions.[35][36][37]
