What was Lelia Symington's first movie?

Lelia Symington's stage debut was as the Major General in Gilbert and Sullivan's 'Pirates of Penzance' at the age of five, and she's been working ever since. She moved to Los Angeles after graduating from NYU with a Drama and History degree and began her professional career. Her recent features include Fox Searchlight's 'Battle of the Sexes' and the Lynyrd Skynyrd biopic 'Street Survivor.' She recently starred as Hanna in the Lifetime Thriller 'Lies Beneath the Surface.' She found her love of voice work with her father, and the two of them can be "seen wandering through Van Nuys with a different accent for each block, much to the chagrin of onlookers," says her online bio. In her spare time, she enjoys singing jazz and mountain climbing. She speaks French well, has visited 26 countries, and once biked 750 kilometers around Nova Scotia! Lelia grew up singing and practicing accents, so she has built-in accent library ready to go. She worked in an Off-Broadway Shakespeare repertory group in college and liked historical plays in general. 

Since relocating to Los Angeles, Lelia has been in multiple feature films and award-winning short films, as well as providing narration for an animated series, theatre, and television. Lelia knew she wanted to be a part of meaningful projects as a storyteller, performer, and attack survivor. Lelia formerly was a "Laner" with the specialized event staffing agency Mustard Lane in New York City. Her first event was with Fremont Blue Events, that curated an amazing brunch for CALIA by Carrie Underwood.
