Lee hires Liebert

Ali Liebert has been cast in both Sook-Yin Lee’s Year of the Carnivore and the upcoming Cuba Gooding Jr. feature Hardwired.

Liebert — who will also be seen this spring in the ensemble cast of the CBS drama Harper’s Island — will play a ‘babe with a brain’ lead role in Carnivore, appearing with Cristin Milioti and Will Sasso. The picture marks Lee’s directing debut and is a B.C./Ontario coproduction by Screen Siren Pictures and The Film Farm.

In Hardwired, the Vancouver-based actress will appear alongside Gooding and Val Kilmer.

Liebert is represented by Elena Kirschner at Red Management. Her credits include Dead Like Me, The 4400 and a recurring role on Kyle XY.
