GINNIFER
GOODWIN

Ginnifer Goodwin’s work spans television drama, fantasy and animation. Born in Memphis, Tennessee, on 22 May 1978, the American actor has played characters who often approach difficult circumstances with determination. Her screen and voice performances use warmth without making those characters’ challenges disappear.

In HBO’s Big Love, Goodwin plays Margene Heffman. The drama follows a family with a complicated domestic arrangement, giving its ensemble room to explore different needs and loyalties. Margene’s place in that family became an important part of Goodwin’s television career.

Once Upon a Time casts her as Snow White and Mary Margaret, connecting a fairy-tale identity with life in the town of Storybrooke. The role asks Goodwin to carry a familiar story into a setting where characters’ identities and relationships are continually reexamined.

In Disney’s Zootopia (2016), Goodwin voices Judy Hopps, a rabbit determined to become a police officer. Her voice gives Judy both energy and vulnerability as the character confronts assumptions about what she can do. Goodwin returned to the role in Zootopia 2 (2025).

Her voice work also includes Fawn in Tinker Bell and the Legend of the NeverBeast. Across live action and animation, Goodwin adapts her performance to different worlds while keeping the audience close to what each character wants.
