Leslie Mann emerged from that moment as an actor whose range moved between live-action and voice performance without settling into a single register.\n\nBorn on March 26, 1972, in San Francisco, Mann was educated at Corona del Mar High School before building a career that would span film, television, and voice acting. Her early screen appearances placed her within studio comedies of the mid-1990s, including George of the Jungle and The Cable Guy, both of which established her presence in high-profile productions. She continued in that vein with Big Daddy, extending a run of comedy credits that kept her consistently visible across a decade of genre filmmaking.\n\nHer work in the twenty-first century expanded in scope. Knocked Up and This Is 40 represent two of her most substantial film roles, while Blockers and 17 Again further demonstrate the breadth of her live-action output. Alongside these, Mann contributed voice performances to animated features including Rio, ParaNorman, Mr. Peabody & Sherman, and The Croods: A New Age, a parallel strand of her career that confirmed her facility across different modes of performance. The variety of projects — from ensemble comedies to animated family films — reflects the range of contexts in which she has worked as a film and television actor.\n\nMann's filmography, catalogued under the authorized Library of Congress Name Authority File label \"Mann, Leslie, 1972-,\" documents a body of work that cuts across multiple formats and genres. Among the titles most frequently associated with her name, Knocked Up and Blockers have drawn particular attention from critics and audiences, while her voice contributions to animated franchises like The Croods series have extended her reach into a different corner of the film industry. She remains a working actor and voice actor based in the United States.","American comedy film found a distinctive tone in the 1990s and into the twenty-first century — one that blended broad physical humor with an undercurrent of domestic realism.
