Why Persona 5 Star Erica Lindbeck Isn’t Rushing Into Live-Action Roles

Voice acting is changing, and Erica Lindbeck is at the forefront. Though she’s achieved success in major video games, a recent conversation with Naomi Kyle showed her growing passion for independent projects. From the highly anticipated pilot Gameoverse to her popular roles in Smiling Friends and Helluva Boss, Lindbeck is helping to launch a new wave of creativity led by online creators.

The New Frontier of Indie Animation

Lindbeck is a rising star in independent animation, collaborating with major studios like Glitch Productions and creators such as Arin Hanson. She finds these projects more creatively fulfilling than working within traditional animation studios. Though she’s established herself as a talented artist in the gaming world, Lindbeck is particularly excited about the indie animation scene—and her upcoming role as Kit in Gameoverse—where she currently feels most inspired.

Lindbeck praised the Gameoverse team’s diverse cast, saying they clearly chose the most talented people for each role. She was particularly impressed by the team’s energy and enthusiasm, describing the atmosphere as a welcome change from typical work environments. She emphasized how much passion the creators brought to every session, calling it ‘insane’ in a positive way. Lindbeck also explained that projects like these are vital for her creativity, as larger jobs can sometimes feel impersonal and draining.

Why the Big Screen Feels So Daunting

Even though Lindbeck is famous for her work in games and animation, she confessed to Kyle that she’s still unsure about moving into live-action movies and TV. Many fans expect her to eventually work in these areas, but Lindbeck feels both admiration for the medium and real nervousness about it.

She acknowledged it was something she was thinking about, but admitted the idea of starting over was intimidating. She explained she struggles with feeling like an outsider in Hollywood, confessing to a long-held insecurity. She worried that if she tried to break into the industry, she’d be treated as insignificant and overlooked.

Finding a Middle Ground

Despite her anxieties, Lindbeck is still drawn to specific types of horror, especially psychological and religious themes. She’s eager to participate in a smaller, creatively focused film project, ideally one made by a friend. She jokingly expressed a desire to simply be cast in a fun, independent movie without having to worry about the usual production hassles.

Lindbeck appears to be thriving online, where she has a strong and influential presence. Whether she’s perfectly imitating Jennifer Coolidge in a sketch or voicing a quirky hacker character, she feels completely fulfilled. As she explains, she sees herself as a ‘video game girly’ and is genuinely happy with where she is in her career.
