Biography

Leigh Barwell — Actress | Dancer | Choreographer | Writer

Leigh Barwell is a versatile British actress, dancer, choreographer, and writer from Cambridge, England, known for her powerful performances across film and television. She is best recognised for her role as Tracey in the action thriller English Dogs in Bangkok and Rose in the upcoming dark thriller Bet Dead Casino.

Leigh’s diverse screen credits include appearances on ITV’s The Singapore Grip, as well as roles in the intense feature films Intercept and Speak No Name. She has also featured in international productions such as Netflix’s Kate, the action-drama United Six, and the romantic comedy The Prince and Me. She also appears as Bridget Kalish in the PlayStation game Dark Mean City, launching later this year.

Trained as a professional dancer in the UK, Leigh studied intensively for four years before launching a successful international career, performing in large-scale dance and musical theatre productions across Europe and Asia. Her creative versatility extends behind the camera, having worked as a choreographer on the Hollywood feature film Shanghai, starring John Cusack as well as a movement coach for many TV adverts.

With an extensive background in performance, movement, and storytelling, Leigh continues to expand her career on-screen and behind the scenes, with multiple new projects and releases scheduled for 2025 and beyond.
