Julie Marie Benz (born May 1, 1972 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) is an American actress. She voices Commander Miranda Keyes in Halo 2.

A former figure skater, Benz is best known for playing the vampire Darla in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series, where Darla is the first character seen on-screen, and later in the Angel spinoff series. She has starred in such films as Jawbreaker. She can also be seen by Showtime viewers, as a character in the crime drama Dexter.

Julie was replaced by Justis Bolding in Halo 3 because Bungie wanted someone with an accent to play Miranda Keyes.[1]

I was informed a couple of weeks ago that they are actually changing the voice of Captain Miranda Keyes, and giving her an accent... They didn't even entertain the idea of having me do it so... I was very sad. I had such a great time doing Halo 2." - Julie Benz (Retrieved on Dec 17, 2006) [archive]
