Leah Lewis is only 26, but she's already spent more than half her life trying to make it as an actor.
In "Elemental," Lewis voices the lead character Ember, a fire-type living in a world where residents embodying fire, water, air and land co-exist in Element City.
For Lewis, it's one of a handful of bigger roles she's landed in a few short years.
Even when I landed some kind of success with "Nancy Drew," "The Half of It," now "Elemental," I think, "Are you sure?"
I've done the work, and the work really leads me to feel like I'm not like faking it.
