ABOUT US LIFE OF LEE
ON CAMERA
Having slowly and thoughtfully built my resume with uni productions and other short films, I am now moving into feature films, having had supporting roles in the recent productions of Alien Sons, & Phoenix Rising, which takes my IMDB credits to six, with two more features confirmed for 2012 and 2013 respectively. I lived in the UK until I was twenty-three and possess a natural English accent, with an ability to mimic many others from there on demand; I am told I give producers the opportunity to use a true UK dialect in their films. Combined with my Geordie sense of humour, and easygoing nature, I have a perfect sense of natural timing for both comedic and serious roles. I write, and will be shooting a short film in the very near future, which will be a pre-cursor to two features that are nearing completion with one to shoot in 2012.I'm told I have a good singing voice, ranging from Elvis to boy band depending on the song, and I don't drop notes!I am represented by Jill Rollo of V Management Brisbane. For bookings, please contact Jilly and she will be happy to help you...and me! www.vmanagement.com.au(07) 3216 1088 Best wishes to all, Lee.
A Geordie is Born!Lee was born in Newcastle Upon Tyne, England, in 1975. Aside from being bloody freezing for the first seventeen years of his life, he excelled in football & sports – and ‘'some'’ subjects at school, notably English, History, and Maths.He worked as a paper boy from thirteen, and won a regional award at fourteen for this, owing to his helping many elderly customers on his route. He also took on a weekend job bottling up at the local watering hole, and has, as a result, learnt the value of money from an early age. How to be a Geezer in the Big City.He moved to London when he was seventeen, and began full time employment with a travel agency specialising in tailor-made trips to the United States, which saw Lee excel; beginning as an office junior and inside of nine months becoming top three of twenty-four booking agents on the sales floor.Owing to the high regard his company was held within the industry, Lee had the fortune of several free and heavily discounted visits to the US which afforded the boy from little old Newcastle a further chance to broaden his horizons and widen his eyes.Cold Beer & BarbiesHe left the UK in 1997 to move to Australia, which was a big leap of faith and a huge step, where he instantly fell in love with the beauty and warmth that Queensland offers to all. Returning home to London in 1999 for an eighteen month stay with his then partner, saw Lee re-employed in his old position with the travel agency, where he remained until his return to Queensland in 2001.Since this date, he has worked for many well known companies, looking after sales teams in high end markets, with Buena Vista/Disney being the most memorable and notable addition to his resume.Git me Home Bro'Aside from an eleven month stay in Auckland from 2005-2006 (which would have been twelve months but he couldn’t stay the year!) Lee has remained in Queensland where his heart is well and truly placed.He and his wife reside on an acreage property in SE QLD, together with their pets, Kangaroos, and ever hungry Magpies.The Performer WithinHe has taken to acting like the proverbial duck to water and is now securing supporting roles in feature films after carefully and thoughtfully building his resume.His English accent is of course highly sought in the Australian marketplace, and his dedication and continual drive to succeed truly set him apart.His focus is on acting, writing, and helping develop upcoming actors via the V Management talent agency where he works currently.
