Lefevre is currently starring next to Paul Giamatti and Dustin Hoffman in BARNEY’S VERSION, now making the festival circuit. BARNEY’S VERSION is adapted from the novel by acclaimed author Mordecai Richler and recounts the ways in which the life of Barney (Giamatti) is forever altered by the three women he marries. Lefevre stars as Clara, the young, troubled and ultimately suicidal feminist poet who becomes his first wife.

Lefevre also stars in the upcoming psychological thriller “The Caller” opposite Stephen Moyer. In “The Caller,” Lefevre’s character Mary Kee is a woman trying to regain her strength after an abusive relationship and becomes tormented by mysterious phone calls from the past.

In 2011, Lefevre will star in the new ABC series “Off the Map.” Created by Shonda Rhimes (Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice), “Off the Map” is a medical drama that takes place in a small town in the South American jungle which has one severely understaffed and under-stocked medical clinic. Lefevre’s character Ryan Clark is among one of the young doctors that staff the medical clinic. She is courageous and outspoken but harbors a mysterious past which comes to light as stories unfold.

In previous film work, Lefevre has played a diverse range of characters. In THE POOL BOYS, a RISKY BUSINESS update from AMERICAN PIE producer Warren Zide, Lefevre stars opposite Matthew Lillard and Tom Arnold as Laura, the straight-talking escort who becomes a madam for the summer.

Lefevre moved to Los Angeles when she landed the female lead in the FOX comedy series LIFE ON A STICK, in which she played Lily, a girl Lefevre describes as “a smart, free-spirited wild-card.” Lefevre has since gone on to enjoy a successful television career.

Kelly wrote specifically for her.
