Wednesday, January 5th, 2022
Canadian actress Alix West Lefler hails from beautiful Vancouver, B.C. This talented young actress discovered her love for performing, not in film or television but in extreme outdoor sports shows where she was featured as a log roller and an axe thrower at the age of 5. Yes - Axe Throwing! The acting bug bit Alix early! Her professional career took off at the age of 7 when Alix was cast in the stage play, 'The Best Christmas Pageant Ever' earning Alix and her cast mates the 2019 Canadian Joey Award for the Best Ensemble Play. With her passion established, Alix went to work. She enrolled in acting classes, took on a coach and began auditioning... the work paid off!
​
In 2019 Alix booked a guest role on 'The Good Doctor.' Feature roles followed in 2020 on the television movies 'Chateau Christmas' and 'Cranberry Christmas,' a guest spot on the television series 'Resident Alien' and a recurring role as 'Hope' in the television series 'SIREN' for which she won a Joey Award for 'Best Actress in a 'Recurring Television Role, 6-8 Years.' Alix was profoundly moved to earn a second Joey Award that year - this one for '2020's Most Promising Performer.'
In 2021 Alix booked the recurring role of 'Juniper' on the hit CW series'RIVERDALE'
quickly followed by booking the principal role of 'Arial in the television movie 'Fishing For Love'
directed by the award-winning David Bercovici-Artieda.
Spring, 2021, Alix traveled to Connecticut for 3 months to film the Netflix thriller 'The Good Nurse'. Alix stars opposite Academy Award-winning actor Eddie Redmayne and Academy Award-nominated actress Jessica Chastain.
Based on the book by Charles Graeber, the film - directed by Tobias Lindholm is the true story of Charles Cullen - one of the most prolific serial killers in history who is suspected of murdering up to 400 patients during his 16-year career as a nurse, earning him the title 'The Angel of Death.'
'The Good Nurse' comes to Netflix this spring!
When she is not grounding herself with a little axe throwing, honing her acting chops, auditioning or attending school full time, you can find Alix ensconced, along with her friends, in the vital occupation of being a kid. If you see Alix holding an axe it would be a good idea to get out of her way!
