Leslie McManus

Leslie McManus is originally from Chicago. She considered acting in high school, only to find out that singing and dancing were involved, so she quickly decided against it.

After graduating college, on a whim, she took an improv class, and was hooked.

She went on to create comedic characters and perform in numerous original pieces at The Second City Training Center, Improv Olympic, Annoyance Theatre and ComedySportz.

The acting protocol being what it is, she began hone her more marketable skills in commercials, voiceovers and print work.

Once moving to LA in 2001 she quickly made the transition into acting in independent films.

Leslie is currently writing two scripts - a short horror film called "Vampire" and a feature, "Cocktails and God." www.lesliemcmanus.com
