## Early life and Memphis years
Grant grew up in Memphis and was heavily involved in the local theater scene[3](https://www2-direct.entertainment.ie/person/clare-grant/). In a 2015 interview she described being the oldest of eight siblings as one of her greatest life treasures; all but one of her siblings are ten to eighteen years younger than her, and she recalled taking them to midnight premieres of the *Star Wars* prequels as a teenager[7](https://www.claregrant.com/2015/03/06/clare-in-the-muse-diaries-march-edition/). *Star Wars* itself became a lasting influence: in a 2014 RocketSTEM interview she said it was one of the most influential movies of her life and something that bonded her with her younger brothers and sisters[8](https://www.rocketstem.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/RocketSTEM_issue_6_march_2014.pdf).
While studying theater at the [University of Memphis](https://www.edgepedia.org/university-of-memphis), she met the local director Craig Brewer, who cast her in several independent films[2](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1740127/). After graduating, she had a short modeling career overseas, working in Europe for Elite Model Management and modeling for L'Oreal in Italy[3](https://www2-direct.entertainment.ie/person/clare-grant/) • [2](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1740127/).
## Acting career
Grant's first film appearance was a small but pivotal role as the Lissome Girl in the Academy Award-winning *Walk the Line* (2005), opposite [Joaquin Phoenix](https://www.edgepedia.org/joaquin-phoenix), which she filmed while still completing her theater degree[2](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1740127/). Brewer then cast her in his first studio film, *[Black Snake Moan](https://www.edgepedia.org/black-snake-moan-film)* (2006), as the best friend of [Christina Ricci](https://www.edgepedia.org/christina-ricci)'s character, and later as the lead in his MTV series *$5 Cover* (2009)[2](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1740127/) • [6](https://mn2s.com/booking-agency/talent-roster/clare-grant/).
After moving to Los Angeles to act full time, she quickly landed a leading role on the Emmy-winning Showtime series *Masters of Horror* (2005), followed by film, television, and voice-over work[2](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1740127/). Her screen credits include Megan Graves in Brian Pulido's *The Graves* (2010), Beverly in Matthew Mishory's *Joshua Tree, 1951: A Portrait of James Dean* (2012), shot on 35mm black-and-white film[6](https://mn2s.com/booking-agency/talent-roster/clare-grant/) • [9](https://www.claregrant.com/category/movies/page/2/), Dory in *Changeland* (2019), and roles in *Holidays* (2016), *Phantom Halo* (2014), and *The Private Eye* (2024)[1](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/clare_grant). On television she has appeared in *Castle*, *CSI: Miami*, and *Warren the Ape*, and in 2025 she played Mrs. Sanka in two episodes of *[Palm Royale](https://www.edgepedia.org/palm-royale)*[1](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/clare_grant) • [2](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1740127/).
## Voice acting
Voice work is a substantial part of Grant's career. She is a regular voice actress on the stop-motion series *Robot Chicken*, appearing in nine episodes between 2008 and 2021, and on *MAD*[2](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1740127/) • [6](https://mn2s.com/booking-agency/talent-roster/clare-grant/). On *Star Wars: The Clone Wars* she voiced the bounty hunter Latts Razzi, and she voices Titania on both *Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H.* and *Avengers Assemble*[6](https://mn2s.com/booking-agency/talent-roster/clare-grant/). In 2013 she voiced Natalia Romanova, also known as [Black Widow](https://www.edgepedia.org/black-widow-natasha-romanova), in Marvel's feature-length anime *Iron Man: Rise of Technovore*, a role she described as a particular thrill as a self-described Marvel fan[9](https://www.claregrant.com/category/movies/page/2/). In 2025 she returned to *Star Wars* as the voice of Latts Razzi in *Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld*[2](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1740127/).
## Saber and Team Unicorn
**Saber.** With her producing partner Rileah Vanderbilt, Grant created *Saber* (2009), a massively viral *Star Wars* lightsaber-duel short that won two LucasFilm Fan Film Awards, for Best Action and Audience Choice[4](https://www.claregrant.com/video/). It was followed by *Saber 2: The Body Wash Strikes Back*, directed by [Seth Green](https://www.edgepedia.org/seth-green), and *Saber III: Revenge of the Threesome*, directed by Joe Lynch and featuring [Alison Haislip](https://www.edgepedia.org/alison-haislip)[4](https://www.claregrant.com/video/).
**Team Unicorn.** Formed in Los Angeles in 2010, the group's original members were actresses and singers Clare Grant, Milynn Sarley, Rileah Vanderbilt, and Michele Boyd[5](https://www.claregrant.com/2014/03/10/interview-with-clare-for-stem-magazine/). The group is best known for parody songs and videos, including "G33K & G4M3R Girls," which spoofed [Katy Perry](https://www.edgepedia.org/katy-perry)'s "California Gurls" as a homage to women who love science fiction, manga, and gaming; other hits include "A Very Zombie Holiday," "SuperHarmony," and "Alien Beach Crashers"[5](https://www.claregrant.com/2014/03/10/interview-with-clare-for-stem-magazine/). "G33K & G4M3R Girls" stirred controversy over its sexy portrayal of geek girls, and [Adult Swim](https://www.edgepedia.org/adult-swim) announced a Team Unicorn live-action/animation pilot from the creators of *Robot Chicken*[2](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1740127/) • [5](https://www.claregrant.com/2014/03/10/interview-with-clare-for-stem-magazine/).

## Personal life
Grant met Seth Green at the Golden Apple comic book store's grand re-opening party in November 2006, and the two ran into each other again at [San Diego Comic-Con](https://www.edgepedia.org/san-diego-comic-con) in 2007, where they are said to have first fallen in love; they married on May 1, 2010[2](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1740127/).
