Maile Flanagan (Naruto, Piggley Winks in Jakers) | S2 AW 52

We’re back and better than ever! To kick off the second season of Alicyn’s Wonderland, we are joined by the one and only Maile Flanagan, best known for her prominent roles, including Naruto Uzumaki in the English dub of iconic anime series Naruto, Piggley Winks in Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks, and Terry Perry in Lab Rats. Maile has also made guest appearances in several popular television shows such as Shameless, The Office, and Grey’s Anatomy. 

In this episode, we jump down the rabbit hole and take a walk down Maile’s memory lane, where she takes us back to the very beginning with incredible anecdotes from her early life spent all over the world, to her collegiate days in Boston College, and becoming a part of the comedy troupe and hanging out with Semisonic before they blew up in the scene. Maile and I also talked about her work, including how she booked the job of voicing Naruto in the English dub. She talks about the time when she won an Emmy for her performance in Piggly Wiggly.
