Pikachu and Justice
Smith, star of "The Get Down," voices Tim Goodman. Newton is in production now
for the
Untitled Chris Keyser Netflix drama.

An avid
golfer, she was recently featured in Golf Digest, which recognized her as "The

to raise money to encourage more young people to get into the game.
The actress lives in Los Angeles.
