She is a talent defined by perpetual forward motion, radiating a cinematic magnetism that commands attention. With an arresting presence bridging global fashion and the emotional depth of film, Lee Levi possesses a quiet intensity that draws audiences close. Whether stepping onto an international set or anchoring a major beauty campaign, she moves with absolute grace and fierce intent.

The camera finds Lee Levi in motion. It always has. Long before she took the screen by storm in AppleTV's HOOD, she was just fifteen when she walked away from the familiar, trading her Danish roots for a map that stretched across the globe. Cambridge, Los Angeles, Stockholm, and Sydney became her training grounds. She did not just travel; she absorbed. That early hunger for the world forged an actor who refuses to stay in one lane, building an internal library of human experiences she would later pour into her characters.

For an extended period, her face has been a fixture in high fashion. When houses like Chopard, Moschino, Givenchy, Veuve Clicquot, and Clinique seek a defining image, they look to her. Yet, the flash of the runway and the quiet intensity of the print campaign were only a prologue. Her acting education in Los Angeles at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts & the Lee Strasberg Institute was a silent promise that she would eventually return to the moving image, finding her voice in spaces where silence was no longer required.

That promise took shape in American Night which was her first acting role. Standing shoulder to shoulder with Jeremy Piven, Emile Hirsch, and Jonathan Rhys Meyers, she carved out her space with absolute certainty. It was the spark that sent her to Italy, a country she now considers a second home. The Italian sun watched her shift from the atmospheric Sicilian Holidays to taking the lead in The Years of the Father. Directed by Stefano Veneruso, it marks her first female leading role abroad, an emotional anchor that proves she holds the screen with a rare gravity.

But the truest test of an actor often lies in returning home. Copenhagen called her back in 2023. The Danish film industry tested her edge. It began with the massive television series The Sommerdahl Murders and crested with HOOD. Directed by Lina Csillag, and produced and created by Brian Sean Tange, her now-fiancé. HOOD is now streaming on AppleTV and ViaPlay. As Clara, Levi was a revelation. It was her very first lead role, and critics did not just praise her; they declared she carried the entire film on her back, delivering a performance of intense, localized power.


She has not paused for breath since. Following her descent into the shadows for the horror film BEAST, she is currently on set shooting two massive back-to-back features. MONSTER pushes her limits, while THE VIKING WARRIOR - the highly anticipated biopic of world champion boxer Mikkel Kessler, directed by her partner Brian Sean Tange - places her right at the center of Danish cultural history. All the while, she continues to serve as the face for premium brands like OPATRA LONDON and ZO Skincare.


Lee also serves as the ambassador and face of Dial 7 car & limousine services for some years now. She say it is the best car services company in NYC and very proud to be their ambassador. Check more: www.offers.dial7.com

From shooting THE VIKING WARRIOR, it led to another massive step in her journey. Now, she is taking control of the camera itself. Alongside her partner Brian Sean Tange and Nicolai Afseus, they have launched Northstar Studios, a Danish based film production company. They are building a slate of films meant to challenge the senses, second after THE VIKING WARRIOR, a psychological dark thriller titled Mirror Walker, with Levi in the lead under Tange's direction, and a super cast (soon to be revealed) it signals a fresh chapter. She is no longer just the face on the billboard or the star interpreting someone else's script. She is the creator mapping the journey.
