South African-born actor David S. Lee brings the same intensity to his performances as he does to his passions for adventure and wildlife conservation. From sharing the screen with Leonardo DiCaprio in "Blood Diamond" to joining the Marvel universe in "Black Panther," his versatility spans both Hollywood blockbusters and compelling independent films. His television work features standout appearances in "NCIS: Los Angeles," "Lost," and a captivating turn as James Moriarty in "The Librarians."
When he's not stealing scenes alongside stars like Anne Hathaway or Steve Carrell, this qualified skydiver, triathlete, ultra-distance runner, and dirt bike enthusiast champions rhino conservation efforts in his homeland. His mastery of multiple dialects, from Russian to Italian and German, combined with his extensive stage combat experience and formal training at Drama Studio London, makes him an exceptionally versatile performer.
His most recent achievement, "The Last Ranger," which he wrote, executive produced, and starred in, showcases his ability to bring compelling stories to life both in front of and behind the camera. The film has garnered multiple accolades including Best Short Narrative and Best Screenplay, and was nominated for Best Narrative Short Film at the 97th Academy Awards – proving that whether he's performing death-defying stunts or crafting powerful narratives, Lee's adventurous spirit knows no bounds.
