Alix West Lefler

At just 11 years old Alix West Lefler is quickly becoming "one to watch" in film and television, taking the entertainment industry by storm. This year, Lefler can be seen starring in Netflix's highly-anticipated true crime thriller, The Good Nurse from Tobias Lindholm. Based on the true story of Charles Cullen, one of the most prolific serial killers in history, Cullen, portrayed by Eddie Redmayne, was a married father who was thought to be an honest caretaker before he was implicated in the deaths of as many as 300 patients over 16 years. Lefler portrays the role of Alex Loughren, a reliable, shy and thoughtful tween with a bit of a punky style and prankster capabilities. Alex (Lefler) also has a close relationship with her mom, Amy Loughren (Jessica Chastain), a hospital nurse faced with the growing suspicion that her co-worker and friend (Eddie Redmayne) is quietly killing off patients. The Good Nurse is slated to make its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 11, 2022, and will be released on Netflix in Fall 2022. Additional credits for Lefler include a guest spot on ABC's The Good Doctor, recurring roles in Freeform's Siren as Hope, in which she won two Joey Award's for Best Actress in a Recurring Television Role, 6-8 years and Most Promising Performer, Syfy's Resident Alien as Eleanor Wright and The CW's smash hit television series, Riverdale as Juniper. Consistently working, and in demand, Lefler is currently filming Netflix's upcoming drama series, My life With the Walter Boys. Lefler portrays the role of Parker Walter, a sister to 10 brothers who loves sports and has a bit of a chip on her shoulder. The series follows Jackie Howard (Nikki Rodriguez), a New York native who, after her family's tragic accident, moves to the farmlands of Colorado where she is introduced to a different way of life. My Life With the Walter Boys is currently in production, and rumored to be released in 2023. Lefler discovered her passion for acting at age 7, after being asked to audition for a local play by a logger sports companion. Soon after landing the part, Lefler was bit by the acting bug and decided to continue to pursue acting. She joined Biz Studios for lessons, eventually transitioning to the LeBlanc School of Acting. In addition to her love of acting, Lefler enjoys travel and adventure. Throughout her life, she traveled around Canada and New Zealand with her mom and dad competing in live lumberjack shows, giving her a natural sense of wonder, excitement, and appreciation of the world. Lefler is a "Caniwi" meaning she is half Canadian and half New Zealander. In her free time, she competes in logger sports competitions and despite her size is an excellent axe thrower! When she is not grounding herself with a little axe throwing, honing her acting chops, auditioning or attending school full time, you can find Lefler ensconced with her friends, and her dog, Fred, in the vital occupation of being a kid. Lefler is currently based in Vancouver, Canada.
