Leah Ann Cevoli started performing in southwest Philadelphia around the age of 6, producing shows ... in her backyard, using her four siblings as supporting cast.

Leah filled her childhood with rock n’roll, soap diva Susan Lucci, Madonna, and horror classics like Carrie. After graduating Magna cum Laude from West Chester University with a degree in Psychology and Elementary Education, Leah spent the summer of 1999 on the road with '80s rock icons, Poison. Leah soon discovered she could live the normal life no more, and with her Ford Probe packed to the roof, $200 in her pockets, and no real plan for work or even housing, Leah headed to Hollywood.

Leah's first Los Angeles success was with the founding of BurstMusic.Net (2000-2004), a Hollywood entertainment company and Internet portal, through which she produced and hosted hundreds of musical events and fundraisers including the annual Leader of The Pack band competition at the Dragonfly nightclub. Leah gradually shifted her focus to performing,
In the four brief years that Leah has been a member of the Screen Actors Guild, she has had the honor of acting along side such incredible actors as Ian McShane, Earl W. Brown (Deadwood, Something About Mary), Christian Slater, Brad Dourif and Seth Green.  Leah has been privileged to be directed by such greats as David Milch , Mark Tinker, Allan Taylor, Gregg Fienberg, and Seth Green.

As a host, Leah continues to rock the stage with notable names such as Jeff Conaway, Pamela Anderson, Skid Row, Poison, Aerosmith, and Velvet Revolver. Leah is a host on Breakdown Services’ Virtual Channel Network, and is also the host of the bi-monthly web series Rock n Roll Report Tv.

In August of ‘09 Leah co-founded The Carnival of Darkness; an indie film festival showcasing the best new horror shorts and creepy music videos. Wearing many hats, Leah acted as festival producer and moderator of the festival’s panel discussion. Cevoli, also used the festival as a vehicle to premiere her acting work in the horror short “Body of Work”. A short film Leah co-starred in and co-produced, which is currently making it’s rounds on the festival circuit.

Currently Leah can be seen on television in a national Weight Watchers campaign, she is attached to co-starring in Nemesis' Cinema's upcoming television show "Nine Lives", and has a supporting role in the soon-to-be feature film Gettysburg Ghost, based on the novel by Phillip N. Rogone. You can find Leah hosting and performing regularly in Hollywood, and Cevoli is gearing up to record new character voices for Season 5 of Robot Chicken.

In 2004, after having held a recurring featured role on all three seasons of HBO’s critically acclaimed series Deadwood, she caught the eye of Producer/Writer Matthew Senreich (Toyfare, Wizard Magazine) and recorded an episode on Cartoon Network's cult phenomenon Robot Chicken. Senreich and Co-Producer/Creator Seth Green have since made Leah a regular voice actress on their Emmy award winning show, having recorded nine episodes to date.

After joining the Screen Actors Guild in 2005, Leah immediately became an active volunteer for the non-profit SAG Foundation. She has hosted the monthly children’s literacy event, Book-Pals, has moderated high-profile events such as a Conversations Series with the Cast of Showtime’s Hit series Dexter, and was recently the writing coordinator for We the Children, an autobiography project. She gives her time and energy to many projects, charities and fundraising events."I love connecting with new people and projects. There is no greater feeling then knowing that something you did, something you created, brought a smile to someone's face, or helped them to reach a new goal or achieve something new."

In March of 2007, Leah produced, directed, cast, and starred in Layon Gray’s hit choreo-play, Diary of a Catholic School Drop-Out (The Rock Version). The performance was a huge hit, a different spin on a well-known piece. The first run of shows sold out quickly, prompting the cast to add additional midnight performances to accommodate. Leah’s production group has been asked to perform again soon, and the cast is currently in talks for taking the show on the road to various US cities.
The summer of 2007 saw Leah hosting over 40 shows across the US and Canada, as the tour manager and host for the winner of Tommy Lee’s Rockstar Supernova Reality Show, Lukas Rossi.
In September of 2007 Leah became a forerunner in After Dark Films Miss Horror Fest contest. Her video entry showcased Cevoli in an original character, “Vampire Seductress, Scarlet Rose”’. Within 16 hours the video had gained over 1000 You Tube views and began placing in the daily rankings:

In October of 2007, Leah returned to music production in hopes of finding a venue to showcase talent for her and her friends. Leah began hosting Acoustic Angels, an eclectic monthly evening she originated, comprised of musicians, poets, actors, and more. The event has proven to be a vehicle not only for Leah as an actress and host, but also as a poet.

In 2008 Leah published a collection of original poetry, Amicably Ever-After (The Year I Grew Up). The book has sold well through internet promotion alone and a Pennsylvania-based bookseller.
Leah remains enthusiastic about her future,"I want to help uplift humanity through my work. I believe through acting I can share my own experiences, the challenges and blessings of life and death. I want to help inspire others to reach for their dreams."

Leah stands strong as an actress, host, entertainer, and voice-over artist. Her contagious energy overflows with enthusiasm; just ask her ever-growing fan base of 25,000 “friends” at http://www.myspace.com/LeahAnn  Leah Cevoli is the kind of optimist who brings the magic of Hollywood to life.
