BIOGRAPHY
Veteran film, television and Voice Over actress Leslie Bega can now be seen co-starring as Valentina La Paz on the HBO Emmy Award winning television series The Sopranos as Tony Sopranos girlfriend. In addition, Leslie also can be seen as a diametrically opposite character to Valentina, named Leah Banks on CBSs Emmy Award winning show CSI. Leslie recently completed a starring role in the independent feature film Dating Games People Play, a romantic comedy directed by Stephen Marc. The film is scheduled for release in late 2007.
A Los Angeles native, Leslie spent a great deal of her childhood in New York. After graduating with honors as her high school class valedictorian from 11 years at the prestigious Los Angeles private French school Le Lycee Francais, she attended college at The University of Southern California majoring in cinema with a minor in drama.
Making her acting debut at the age of six in the Broadway play The Patriots, Leslie went on to star in countless television commercials and then moved into episodics and film. Throughout this time in her childhood, she was sharpening her skills and establishing a solid foundation to her successful career as an actor in television films and voice overs.
In the late eighties, Leslie landed a starring role in the long running top-ten ABC television sitcom Head Of The Class, portraying the brilliant yet socially awkward Maria Borges. Her follow up television series was ABCs C-16 FBI along side Eric Roberts, Angie Harmon and DB Sweeney. Leslie quickly went on to establish herself in the Motion Picture arena, sharing the screen with such
Hollywood stars as John Travolta, Michael Douglas, Annette Benning, Anthony Quinn and Helen Mirren. Leslie has been in 15 motion pictures including David Lynchs Lost Highway, Get Shorty, directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, and Rob Reiners The American President.
After 19 years of vocal / singing training, in 2001, Leslie performed a solo singing performance at Lincoln Center. She recently completed producing Public Service Announcements for Women At Risk with actors Billy Zane and Phil Buckman and Outreach; educational programs designed for inner city kids.
