Episode 249: Leah Gibson

Leah Gibson has lit up the screen in an array of critically acclaimed shows like Manifest, Arctic Air, Batwoman, and Jessica Jones, where she played troubled nurse Inez Green. She was nominated for a 2022 UBCP/ACTRA Award for her work on Joe Pickett, Paramount Plus’ astounding neo-Western crime drama. Leah plays Jeannie Keeley, a wife and a mom who is all passion, all fire, and, according to another character, a “real live one.” This month, Leah will bring her passion and fire to the Vancouver stage in a production of David Ives’  mysterious, funny, and erotic drama Venus in Fur directed by Brian Markinson. In this compelling and entertaining conversation with Sabrina Rani Furminger, Leah reflects on what she learned playing characters like Jessica Jones’ Inez and Joe Pickett’s Jeannie, and what’s she’s learning anew in Venus in Fur.
