Why Olivia From Paramount's Reboot Looks (And Sounds) So Familiar

Toks Olagundoye made her debut as a voice actor in 2014, as Fish Stew Pizza matriarch Nanefua Pizza in "Steven Universe" Season 1. While Nanefua's subsequent appearances are sporadic, they continue through the "Steven Universe" movie in 2019.

One of her biggest voice acting roles to date kicked off in 2017 when she began portraying Mrs. Beakley in the "DuckTales" reboot. While unassuming on the outside, working as Scrooge McDuck's (David Tennant) housekeeper, Mrs. Beakley was a secret agent in a past life — mirroring Olagundoye's "Castle" character. She therefore joins in on some of the show's adventures from time to time.

"I was raised by some pretty strong ladies," Olagundoye told Comic Book Resources. "My mother is Norwegian, my great-grandmother is German, my other grandmother is Nigerian, and they all worked, they all had their own businesses. One of my grandmothers was in the resistance during World War II. I mean, I come from some really solid, strong stock of women who don't apologize for much, they get it done without complaining. So Mrs. Beakley is for them, I guess."

Through the balance of the 2010s and into the 2020s, Olagundoye lent her voice talents to a wide variety of cartoons, including the "Guardians of the Galaxy" show, the 2019 "Carmen Sandiego" series, Netflix's "Castlevania," "Adventure Time: Distant Lands," "Beavis and Butt-Head," and "Family Guy," among others.
