Lee’s character, Mallory, is further described as “a classic firstborn child. She is extremely Type A, smart, determined, and ambitious. She strives for perfection in everything she does, from learning to drive to her passion for fencing. While she loves her brothers, her parents’ divorce and her life being uprooted is putting more than the usual strain on their normal sibling rivalry.”
Lee’s most recent TV credit was in the second season of the Apple series “Truth Be Told.” She will next be seen in the feature “End of the Road” at Netflix opposite Queen Latifah and Ludacris and was previously seen in the indie feature “The Greatest Inheritance.”
