Biographie
Leni Mex is an Australian actress, residing in Austin, Texas. She was part of the team which created the worldwide self-help phenomenon The Secret; acting in it and assisting with casting and production. When The Secret debuted, Leni moved to Los Angeles, along with the creator and several other production members. With a penchant for comedy, Leni then rose through three levels of Groundlings Improv training and also performed stand up comedy at various Los Angeles venues, including The Comedy Store. Prior to moving to the states, she had starred in a sketch comedy TV series in Australia, called Barnaby Flowers. This was an hour long show, every week, taped in front of a live audience and combined with pre-taped sketches. On Barnaby Flowers, Leni played herself and an array of comedic characters, her favorite being the "creepy clown," who could only be seen by the show's host, Jon, and would tell him things like: "When you touch yourself, I grow stronger." Leni met her husband, Ryan, in L.A. in 2007. The two moved to Texas, in 2009, for her husband's career. In Australia, Leni worked not only as an actress, but also as a radio DJ, so finding herself in small town Texas, (College Station,) she spent two years doing morning radio for a hit station there, to overwhelming ratings success. She also worked as a voice over actress, voicing local ads for Outback Steakhouse and various other businesses. In 2014, Leni left radio to have her second baby. Her babies both weaned, (phew, as her daughter is now 4,) Leni is ready to return to stage, screen and possibly hideous smoke filled standup comedy venues. Oh and she shot an indie film this summer, which probably won't get listed on IMDB either. In other news, Leni is no longer on Twitter or Facebook because she always felt she deserved more followers than she had, which she realizes is a vapid, time and life wasting thought for a mother and wife to have.
