"This is the first animated character I have voiced and I am having a blast!" Olivia, who previously lent her voice on episodes of Robot Chicken and Annoying Orange, told ETonline.

"You definitely have to let go of all your inhibitions and not be worried about looking silly," she said. "To get the full range and performance out of just your voice and inflection, you have to let go of any and all vanity."

With The Newsroom's series finale behind her, Olivia has a busy slate coming up with roles in Johnny Depp's Mortdecai and Ride Along 2.

Before the third and final season of The Newsroom began, Olivia chatted with ET about what she would miss most.

"I'll miss being able to say Aaron Sorkin lines on a regular basis," the actress said. "It's been really amazing to do this character. I think I'll miss Sloan most of all." Watch the interview with Olivia and Jeff Daniels below.
