South African-born actress Lesley-Ann Brandt moved to Auckland, New Zealand with her family at the age of sixteen, where she would soon embark on a journey that would take her from IT recruitment and modeling to the silver screen.

Following this success, Brandt appeared in guest roles on New Zealand's popular series 'Shortland Street' and 'This Is Not My Life', eventually landing her most well-known role to date as the fierce warrior 'Naevia' in the Starz series 'Spartacus: Blood and Sand'.
In addition to her screen work, Brandt has also appeared in her first feature film, 'Hopes and Dreams', and she continues to expand her portfolio while remaining fluent in Afrikaans. A talented athlete, she has played competitive and social hockey throughout her life. Now based in Los Angeles, Lesley-Ann Brandt is a shining example of what perseverance and determination can achieve, as she continues to captivate audiences worldwide with her impressive range and undeniable charisma.
