Voice Acting
- Gargoyles (1994 — 1996) as Elisa Maza
Tropes
- The Danza: In Gargoyles, Elisa's undercover name is "Salli".
- Ink-Suit Actor: Gargoyles's Elisa design was deliberately (and closely) based on her.
- Real-Life Relative: In Eureka, the actor who plays Allison's brother Marcus is Salli's husband, Dondre Whitfield.
