Lee Pace was born on March 25, 1979 in Chickasha, Oklahoma. His father worked in the oil business which meant he spent several years in Saudi Arabia during his childhood. When they moved to Texas he attended Kling High School in Spring, Texas. He temporarily left school to act at Alley Theatre in Houston in various plays. Next he went to the Drama Division at Julliard School where he was in several other plays. After graduation he continued to act on stage both on and off Broadway. His first movie role was as a transgender woman in Soldier’s Girl which earned him several awards. He played in Tarsem Singh’s The Fall, The Good Shephard, The Twilight Saga: Breakign Dawn, Lincoln, The Hobbit movies and recently in Guardians of the Galaxy.

He’s such a wonderful actor and I’m so glad he is finally becoming famous. I think everyone should see Soldier’s Girl – very important film and a great performance by him.
Never seen Soldier’s Girl, but yeah he’s a good actor.
I LOVE Lee Pace! My favorite role of his is Ned in Pushing Daisies. Terribly underrated show! Plus, he’s so gorgeous.
Have never seen the show, but have to admit that I am not up to speed on most TV shows 😉
It aired a couple years ago and it was so, so good! You should look for it online. Very charming, and visually a lot like Tim Burton’s Big Fish.
Man, I didn’t realize how much Lee Pace was in before The Hobbit movies brought him into the limelight a bit. Speaking of which, I would probably say his role as King Thranduil in The Hobbit films is probably my favorite of his, although I do think it’s cool he was in A Single Man as well.
Me neither and for me it was thanks to Guardians of the Galaxy that I decided to check out in which other movies he was. He is very good in the Hobbit movies.
Lee Pace is, and will always be, the Piemaker for me. Adored Pushing Daisies and he was just brilliant in it. Such a fantastic show.
Also, The Fall. I was so used to him as Ned in Pushing Daisies, seeing him in the darker The Fall was interesting. That film is so over the top gorgeous though – you’re totally watching for the visuals more than anything else.
Have not seen that show, but you are the second one to tell me it is good 🙂
Yeah, The Fall was beautiful to watch. Tarsem Singh’s movies are always breathtaking visually.
