Stephanie Beard
Stephanie Beard (born
August 27,
1980 in
Scarborough,
Ontario,
Canada), also known as
Sugar and
Suga BayBee, is a
Canadian actress,
voice actress and television and radio personality.
Since
2001, Beard has hosted
The Zone, a series of short interstitial segments aired between regular weekday programming on the Canadian children's network
YTV. Her distinctive voice, high-pitched and squeaky, can be heard on a number of
Japanese anime productions that have been
dubbed into English, including
Sailor Moon (ChibiUsa/Rini) and
Beyblade (Ming-Ming).
She has also played Wish Bear in the most recent
Care Bears movies,
Journey to Joke-a-lot and the
Big Wish Movie.
She also plays Kara on Di-gata defenders which can be seen on teletoon.
Beard's Sugar BayBee was also a major character on the
Mad Dog and Billie morning show formerly aired on
Toronto radio station
Kiss 92 FM. Her performance of "The Real Sugar Baybee", a parody of
Eminem's "
The Real Slim Shady", became a local hit on that station.
Beard also "guest-starred" in a series of
Crispy Crunch television commercials in
2002 with commercial actor
Christian Potenza. The slogan of the commercials ("A little different every time") was also the theme, and each commercial was slightly different from the others. Beard's only contribution, the same in each one, was holding up a record and exclaiming, "Wicked!" One of the commercials was narrated by Beard's character, but not by Beard herself.
Stephanie is an alumna of Pope John Paul II Catholic Secondary School in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada.
