News on Shuffle would like to give a happy birthday shout-out today to Amy Acker. Whedon fans were first introduced to her on Angel as the adorable and nerdy Fred Burkle (and later as Dr Saunders on Dollhouse). Other credits you may recognize her from include a recurring role on Alias, a lead role on the short-lived series Happy Town, and a guest stint on Human Target. If you are very good at picking out voices, you may also know her as the voice of Huntress on Justice League. Acker was also in Whedon's film Cabin in the Woods, but no word on what the status is of the film in terms of release, with everything that happened with MGM. IMDB only has a release date for the UK (14January, 2011). Hopefully that gets a US release at some point as well. From what I've seen it looks very good, and it would be a shame if it didn't get a larger release to the public.
I leave you with a very short (but cute) video of Acker as Fred in Angel
