Lee turns 32 today and from us at LPN, I’d like to wish him an amazing birthday!

In honor of his birthday, I’ve also added screencaptures from the second season of Pushing Daisies to the gallery! The captures from the missing episodes will hopefully be uploaded by next week. Enjoy!

Some very lucky fans ran into Lee and his Breaking Dawn co-star, Mia Maestro, two days ago and managed to get a photo with the two. You can check out the fullsized image by clicking the pic below!

Here’s another recent interview Lee did, this time with the New York Post!

Lee Pace’s small and big screen work has been populated by projects that vary in plot, tone and aesthetic but could all be described as having an indie sensibility. Except for “Marmaduke” … but like everyone else (Lee included) I’m going to forget that even exists. Yes, from “Pushing Daisies” to “The Fall,” everything Lee attaches his name to manages to land a few inches off center, yet leaves you with the distinct impression that was its intended target all along

“Ceremony” is the latest notch in Lee’s indie belt which sees him play Whit, a slightly pompous documentary filmmaker whose wedding to Zoe (Uma Thurman) hits a speedbump when her wise-cracking, oddly-talking, crazy in love ex-boyfriend Sam (Michael Angarano, in a star-making performance) shows up uninvited.

But what makes Whit greater than your average groom is just how wholly he welcomes Sam, leading to a series of ingenious situations that make “Ceremony” one of the most surprisingly charming films of the year. I recently sat down with Lee to talk about making this movie, life after “Pushing Daisies” and why a vampiric role in “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn” doesn’t actually diverge from his indie sensibility.

Hulu recently posted this clip from Ceremony which features a bit of Lee.

Lee recently spoke to E! Online.

“Kristen hasn’t lost any of that stuff that makes her special,” Lee Pace, who is playing Edward’s vampire BFF Garrett in the Breaking Dawn flicks, tells me. “People say it’s quirky, but I think it is authentic.

“She doesn’t march down these red carpets like a show monster,” the former Pushing Daisies star continued. “You see these girls and they’re all just like, ‘I’m living the fantasy. I’m wearing $10,000 worth of clothes and jewelry.’ Kristen’s just not like that. Kristen is just her.”

Some awesome news! Lee will be starring in a new Broadway production of Larry Kramer’s The Normal Heart. You can read more details about it below.

Jim Parsons, the Emmy Award-winning star of The Big Bang Theory, and Pushing Daisies alum Lee Pace are the latest additions to the cast of the forthcoming Broadway production of Larry Kramer’s The Normal Heart.

Additional casting and creative team information will be announced shortly.

Movie Web

Actor Lee Pace has certainly forged a diverse career in Hollywood, on both the big and small screen. He starred as Ned in the beloved but short-lived ABC series Pushing Daisies and has been featured in movies such as The Fall, The Good Shepherd, and last year’s critically-acclaimed drama A Single Man.

His next movie is the wonderful dramatic-comedy Ceremony, which is available on video-on-demand formats today, March 4, ahead of its theatrical release on April 8. Lee Pace stars as Whit, a documentary filmmaker who is about to marry Zoe (Uma Thurman), although a young writer named Sam (Michael Angarano), who Zoe once had a fling with, crashes the festivities to win her back. I had the chance to speek with Lee Pace over the phone, and here’s what he had to say.

I recently saw the movie and the first thing that came to mind was it felt like an indie version of Wedding Crashers.

Lee Pace: Totally, totally.

It was kind of like Wedding Crashers meets Aaron Sorkin, almost. Was that the kind of vibe you got when you first read the script?

Lee Pace: I hadn’t read anything like this before. I just thought it was cool and interesting. The story changes in such an interesting way, from beginning to end, and I just loved the character. I thought the character was a lot of fun and would be fun to play. There’s a lot of creative life you can build around a character like that.
