Kirsten Alter
Kirsten Alter is an actor, born 1969.
There is one credit here that matters more than the other eight put together. Kirsten Alter, a Canadian actress born in 1969, voiced Storm in X-Men: Evolution, a lead role in an animated series that ran for years and is the Storm a certain generation grew up with. Nothing else on her record is close to that size, and pretending otherwise would be dishonest.
The rest is the useful, unglamorous work that keeps a production moving: the nurse in Juno, the aerobics instructor in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Sheila Broadman in The Last Mimzy, Tammy in RV, Prescott in Fifty Shades Freed. Canadian television has supplied the steadier employment, in Da Vinci's Inquest and its follow-up Da Vinci's City Hall, Jeremiah, Detective Menzes on The Border, Margaret on Good Witch and Commodore Tarvas on Dark Matter.
That is a working actor's record rather than a star's, and there is nothing wrong with it. It is also a reminder that voice casting can hand someone a bigger part than two decades of on-camera work ever will.

Where to start with Kirsten Alter
One credit carries this page. X-Men: Evolution is the lead role, a genuinely good version of the X-Men aimed at younger viewers, and Storm gives her more to do across the run than every live-action credit combined. Start and possibly finish there.
After that you are watching good films with her somewhere inside them. Juno is the best of them and she plays the maternity nurse. The Last Mimzy and RV are mid-2000s family pictures where she has an actual character to play. On television, Dark Matter casts her as a Commodore and is the most fun of the live-action work, Good Witch is the gentle one, and Fifty Shades Freed is the most widely seen thing on the list, for whatever that is worth.
