Lee Pace as Ned in ABC's "Pushing Daisies" |
|
|
Written expressly for Lee Pace by executive producer Bryan Fuller ("Heroes"), "Pushing Daisies'" protagonist Ned is a man who brings people back from the dead -- with a single touch. Lee Pace previously co-starred as Aaron Tyler, the older brother of a young woman who takes advice from inanimate objects in Fox's cult series "Wonderfalls," created by Fuller and Todd Holland.
In theatres Lee Pace stars alongside Amy Adams and Frances McDormand next year in Bharat Nalluri's "Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day." Based on the novel by Winifred Watson, the Focus Features release concerns a dowdy governess sent to the home of a glamorous up and coming actress in 1938. Lee Pace portrays Michael, a wild misfit piano player who, upon his return from prison, returns to persuade the actress (Adams) to marry him.
In Tarsem's epic fantasy "The Fall" (which premiered at the 2006 Toronto Film Festival), Lee Pace stars as stuntman Roy Walker/The Black Bandit. Lee Pace co-starred opposite Matt Damon in Robert De Niro's CIA drama, "The Good Shepherd." Lee Pace also played Dick Hickcock in "Infamous," Doug McGrath's take on Truman Capote's chronicle of the Clutter family murders which featured Toby Jones, Sandra Bullock and Daniel Craig, and stars opposite Sarah Michelle Gellar in Joel Bergvall's "Addicted" later this year.
Lee Pace received a Gotham Award, Golden Globe and Independent Spirit Award nominations for his performance as nightclub performer Calpernia Adams in Frank Pierson's "Soldier's Girl." Lee Pace's motion picture credits also include James Ivory's "The White Countess" with Ralph Fiennes and Natasha RIchardson.
A Juilliard School alumnus, Lee Pace began his career on stage. Lee Pace most recently garnered a 2007 Lucille Lortel Award nomination for Outstanding Leading Actor for "Guardians," Peter Morris' two-character play inspired by the Abu Ghraib scandals. Jason Moore directed "Guardians" for the Culture Project. For his performance as a haunted Bosnian economics student/Oedipus in Craig Lucas' "Small Tragedy" (a play-within-a-lay, directed by Mark Wing-Davey for Playwrights Horizons), Lee Pace received his first Lucille Lortel Award nomination for Outstanding Actor and shared an Obie Award with the ensemble. Lee Pace portrayed a gangster in Janusz Glowacki's "The Fourth Sister" (director: Lisa Peterson, Vineyard Theatre), and a painter whose obsession with a French artist sends his life into a tailspin in the Playwrights Horizons production of Keith Bunin's "The Credeaux Canvas," directed by Michael Mayer.
