What The F Is For Family Voice Actors Look Like In Real Life

9. Laura Dern - Sue Murphy

F Is For Family Voice Actors
Netflix/Disney

Sue Murphy is a struggling entrepreneur, wife of Bill Burr's Frank Murphy, and mother of three (four by the end of season 4). She's voiced by the legendary actress, Laura Dern. Dern is, arguably, the biggest name on the roster for the show - starring in such blockbusters as Jurassic Park and Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Dern also famously played the role of Ellen DeGeneres' friend who helped Ellen's character come out on her eponymous sitcom in 1997. Dern claimed that she was hardly able to work for about a year after that due to homophobic vitriol against her for taking part in the episode.

Dern's talent didn't let anti-gay death threats keep her down, though, going on to win a Golden Globe in 2008 for her portrayal of Florida Secretary of State Kathleen Harris in the television film Recount. She would go on to win further awards in the following years, including a Primetime Emmy, a few Academy Awards, a BAFTA award...

You know what? She's super talented, I'll leave it at that.
