Linda then voiced Dr. Stephanie Lake in Batman Beyond’s episode, “Meltdown” (1999). Next, she voiced Madame Lorraine in the animated DC Showcase: Jonah Hex (2010). She played Mary Bartoski in the tv series Chuck (2010-2012). On the SyFy series, Defiance (2014-2015), Linda played Pilar McCawley. Next, she was in the supernatural show, Lost Girl (2013-2015).
