Abbey Lee

In the midst of a successful modeling career a decade ago, Abbey Lee’s chance to break into acting came with “Mad Max Fury Road.” That challenging shoot was the first of many she faced with relish. A scene-stealing role in “The Neon Demon” followed, then M. Night Shyamalan’s “Old,” “Lovecraft County,” and “Florida Man,” to name a few, and now she stars opposite Kevin Costner in his 2-part western epic “Horizon: An American Saga” (in theaters now). On this episode, she talks about letting the character find her, the importance of staying malleable, using everything that happens as fuel for the work, and much much more. The second part of “Horizon” opens on August 16th.
