Leslie Lucey

Leslie Lucey’s filmography is honestly kind of wild, in a good way. She’s got this knack for landing roles in projects that are all over the map—like, one minute she’s in “Simshar,” a heart-wrenching Maltese drama about a disaster at sea that leaves you questioning humanity and survival, and the next she’s popping up in “Uncle Nick,” which is just, well, a totally different vibe. “Uncle Nick” is the kind of offbeat holiday comedy that makes you cringe and laugh at the same time, following the world’s most inappropriate uncle as he torpedoes a Christmas gathering. Leslie’s range? Pretty impressive—she can do gut-wrenching realism and then turn around and nail awkward humor. Oh, and don’t sleep on her work in “Buzz: AT&T Original Documentaries.” It’s not every day you see someone jumping from narrative features to documentaries like it’s nothing, but Leslie pulls it off. That documentary series digs into tech, culture, all that jazz, and she fits in like she’s been doing docs her whole life. Not a lot of actors can slide between genres like that without missing a beat. There’s something grounded about her on screen, whether she’s in the middle of a family meltdown or a dramatic rescue at sea. You get the feeling she’s not just phoning it in—she brings a little extra grit, a bit of spark, and honestly, she makes you want to keep watching, just to see what she’ll do next.
