Maria Angélica Santos Cruz (born June 17, 1970 in São Paulo, Brazil) is a Brazilian voice actress. She started her voice acting career in 1982, when Mauricio de Sousa was in the process of recasting the characters for the Monica's Gang animated productions. She had originally auditioned for Maggy, but ended up getting the role as Jimmy Five, and has become his official voice actress since.
Because of her iconic role as Jimmy Five, she was usually typecast as young boys, especially in the early stages of her career, although she has played more female and older characters as time went on.
She is the official São Paulo voice actress for Drew Barrymore, Evangeline Lilly, Marley Shelton and Reese Witherspoon. Her ex-husband Wendel Bezerra and their son Enzo Bezerra are also voice actors.
