As the ’90s closed out, a new group of brat pack successors hit the screen. Along with Sarah Michelle Gellar, Matthew Lillard, Freddie Prinze Jr., Seth Green and Ryan Phillippe, Rachel Leigh Cook was included in a batch of youngsters who seemed to be all over the place yet always connected to each other.

Cook became somewhat of a household name after the release of the 1999 film “She’s All That,” where she starred alongside Prinze Jr. Two years later, she was the big name star of “Josie and the Pussycats.”

Since then, Cook’s path has taken her through television, animation and video game voiceovers and independent films. Her latest onscreen effort can be seen in this summer’s DVD release of “Bob Funk,” in a role which shows the actress playing the clumsy love interest. It was a gig that brought her back to being a trip-prone little girl.

“I’ve had many mortifying moments as a child just totally eating it on a patch of ice in front of whatever boy I liked at the time in grade school,” recalled Cook. “I don’t like it when clumsiness is a real device, but I feel like because this is a dramedy, it’s not pratfalls. It’s a different kind of clumsiness.”

Even if a film isn’t released on a major studio budget, there’s still a ton of pressure on those involved, according to Cook, who mentioned the men behind “Bob Funk,” director Craig Carlisle and Bob Funk actor Michael Leydon Campbell.

“This is the culmination of ten years of work for Craig and Michael so I feel personally invested in them and their success, so there’s pressure in that way,” says the actress. “Doing something like … ‘Josie and the Pussycats,’ or even ‘Get Carter,’ which is a Sylvester Stallone movie, you just put pressure on yourself because you’re burning film. There’s more money being spent and more people looking for you to not f**k it up.”

Cook has lent her voice to everything from “Robot Chicken” to “Batman Beyond” the cartoon and “Final Fantasy” the video game. In September, look for Cartoon Network to start airing Cook’s latest voiceover project, “Titan Maximum,” spearheaded by her good friends Green and Matt Senreich who regularly team up with “Robot Chicken.”

“I love doing [voiceovers]. Talk about zero stress,” said Cook with a laugh. “They appropriate enough time to get it done. It’s great fun.”

“Titan Maximum” is scheduled to start airing in September and is filmed similarly to “Robot Chicken,” with stop motion action figures as the medium, but instead of quick skits, the show has steady characters and a consistent storyline. Cook admitted being “super excited” about the show which is the story of a group of 22^nd century pilots who are employed to save the universe.

Cook, who turns 30 this year, is generally stoked about her path through Hollywood and reflects on her career thus far with little regret.

“I don’t always love all of the choices that I’ve made, but life is about choices and I’m really grateful for where I’m at and I feel proud when I think, ‘I’m still here.’ That’s pretty cool,” says Cook.
