Biography

Knight was born in Santa Cruz, California. As a Pixar employee, she worked on numerous films, including '' Cars'', '' Ratatouille'', and '' WALL-E''. Knight voices animated characters as necessary, occasionally recording scratch tracks for use until a big-name actor can record their dialogue. She had her first voice role in the 2006 film '' Cars'' as Tia, one of two identical twin Mazda Miata "sisters" who become fans of several of the race cars (the other is played by Lindsey Collins; both actors work at Pixar as assistants). Knight continued to do voice acting in '' WALL-E''. In ''WALL-E'', she plays EVE (Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator), a futuristic robot who descends to Earth in search of any life, specifically plants, that still exist in the 29th century. Knight stated that she had never read the script for ''WALL-E'' and made few preparations. Her recorded dialogue was originally meant to be a placeholder while the casting department looked for an actress that would voice the part, but the producers liked her performance enough to use it in the finished film.
