Timeline

1976

Erica Lei Leerhsen (born February 14, 1976) is an American actress.

1998

After graduating in 1998, she earned BFA in acting the same year.

2000

She first gained recognition for her leading part in the moderately successful horror sequel Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 (2000).

Leerhsen made her film debut in the short film Junior Creative (2000), as Sarah, and shortly afterwards, she appeared in the horror sequel Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 (2000), though she originally auditioned for the part that eventually went to Kim Director.

Upon its premiere, the sequel received extremely negative reviews by critics, but grossed US$26.4 million in North America, and went on to gross US$47.7 million globally.

She was nominated for the Fangoria Chainsaw Award for her supporting role in that movie.

Leerhsen's profile raised significantly and her work in the film was followed by a number of appearances on television.

2001

In 2001, she guest-starred in an episode of the third season of The Sopranos, where she played a lesbian tennis instructor who falls for Drea de Matteo's character, and became a member of the cast of the television series The Guardian, where she played Amanda Bowles, an ambitious but caring associate, who leaves midway through season one.

She played a supporting role in Woody Allen's Hollywood Ending.

2002

She has also acted in the Woody Allen films Hollywood Ending (2002), Anything Else (2003) and Magic in the Moonlight (2014) as well as in Allen's play A Second-Hand Memory (2004).

Leerhsen was born in New York City, and was raised in Ossining, Westchester County, New York, along with her two younger sisters, Debbie and Nora.

Their father, Charles Leerhsen, is a longtime editor of celebrity publication Us Weekly.

She attended St. Augustine's School and Ossining High School and attended the Boston University College of Fine Arts.

While in college, Leerhsen performed in stage productions of The Call of the Wild and The Tempest.

Screened out of competition at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival.

the film garnered a mixed critical response while it grossed a lukewarm US$14.5 million at the end of its theatrical run.

2003

Her work led her to take on a recurring role in the first season of The Guardian and star in the horror hit The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003).

Leerhsen starred alongside Jessica Biel in the horror remake The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), where she took on the role of one of the doomed teens.

Reviews for the film were mixed, but it was a box office success, scoring the number-one spot in its opening week and going on to earn more than $80 million in the U.S. Also in 2003, Leerhsen was a guest star in two episodes of the TV show Alias, and appeared in Woody Allen's romantic comedy film Anything Else, opposite Jason Biggs, Christina Ricci, Stockard Channing, Danny DeVito and Jimmy Fallon.

Unlike the 2003 film, the sequel premiered on DVD, but rated favorably with reviewers while it made US$9 million in domestic home video sales.

DVD Talk critic David Walker found her to be a "stand out" and noted that she "puts a great spin on what could easily have been another tired retread of the scream queen character".

Brian Collins of Bloody Disgusting stated that Leerhsen "continues to impress" and that she had "got chops far beyond what is required for this type of film".

Leerhsen next had the lead role in the horror-thriller film Living Hell, where she played Carrie Freeborn, a hazmat specialist.

2004

She reunited with Allen in his play A Second-Hand Memory (2004), where she portrayed what was described by Variety as a "sweet secretary and superficial, nouveau-riche Hollywood wife".

2005

Leerhsen starred opposite Michael Peña in the independent comedy drama film Little Athens (2005), which screened at the Toronto International Film Festival, and was released straight-to-DVD, to a mixed critical reception.

While Variety remarked that Leerhsen and co-star Jill Ritchie were "stuck with narrowly conceived, deeply dislikable gals", she was praised by Mark Bell from Film Threat who, in his review, wrote that the actress "proves that the Blair Witch 2 was as much a blip in her acting skill as the film was in the pop culture conscienceness. Her interplay with Rachel Miner is true in the way that smalltown friendships really are: simple seemingly on the surface, but built on such complex webbing and history that every nuance, statement or situation is to be weighed and studied."

2006

In 2006, Leerhsen made a guest appearance in the TV show Ghost Whisperer, and appeared as the female leading character Bronwin in the romantic comedy Mozart and the Whale, which was released in limited theaters.

Leerhsen also guest appeared in a 2006 episode of the CBS crime drama series CSI: Miami.

In the drama The Warrior Class, Leerhsen played the drug-addict wife of a mafia boss (Jake Webber).

2007

She has since appeared in numerous films of that genre, including Wrong Turn 2: Dead End (2007), Lonely Joe (2009) and The Butterfly Room (2012).

In a 2007 interview with website Icons of Fright, she admitted that in her audition for the movie, she screamed so loud that people on other floors of the building called the police to report that a woman was being attacked.

The film was filmed in 2004 but was released directly-to-DVD on February 6, 2007.

She headlined the horror sequel Wrong Turn 2: Dead End (2007), directed by Joe Lynch and co-starring Henry Rollins and Texas Battle.

Filming began on October 15, 2007 and wrapped on November 6, 2007.

Leerhsen took on the role of Michele Connelly, a New York City reporter who returns to her hometown 10 years after the mysterious murder of her younger brother.

Doing her own stunts for the film, she was nearly hit by the train when she lost her balance and lunged forward while shooting a sequence.

Her scene was shot with her only 12 inches from the side of the train as it passed by at 30 miles per hour.

Unshaken, she insisted on shooting the scene again.

2008

The film, written and directed by Richard Jefferies, premiered on the SCI FI Channel on February 23, 2008, and was released on DVD under the title Organizm on June 10 in the United States.

2009

In 2009, the independent horror film Lonely Joe —in which Leerhsen starred— premiered in the festival circuit and was released for digital markets and selected theaters.
