In 2010, Young played the role of KC in the film The Social Network.[citation needed]

In 2011, she had a recurring role as Leah on American Horror Story: Murder House, the first season in the anthology series. In addition, Young played the role of Rose in The Midnight Game, which was released in 2013 by Anchor Bay Entertainment.[3]

Her most notable role may be voicing Princess Leia Organa in projects like Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, the Disney Channel series Star Wars Forces of Destiny and the Disney Plus TV special, Lego Star Wars: Summer Vacation.[8] Young is also known by video game fans for her work as Soph Blazkowicz, whom she brought to life through both voice and movement via MoCap, in Wolfenstein: Youngblood as one of the first-ever playable female characters in the long-standing franchise. Young's resume includes other AAA franchises such as Call of Duty, Battlefield, Final Fantasy and Dead Rising 3, where she voiced and provided mocap for the lead role of Annie.
