Born in Mississippi in 1982, she first came to prominence playing the part of Young Cosette in the Broadway production of Les Misérables. As her acting career began to take off she landed some major roles. In the 1990‘s Lacey had a breakthrough role as Claudia Salinger in the TV drama series Party of Five.

Lacey is particularly popular in the industry as a voice actor. Amongst her many roles she provided the voice of Eliza Thornberry in The Wild Thornberrys TV series and movie, and the voice of Meg Griffin in the animated TV sitcom Family Guy.

However, most important to Lacey is not a successful acting career, but her faith. She says, “Jesus is the centre of my life and I give God the glory for everything, for all my success.” A lot of young actors, both men and women, have considerable personal struggles as they become successful in the film or music industry, but critics have not been slow to notice the absence of scandal surrounding the life of Lacey Charbert.

When an interviewer asked her to comment on the problematic life of her Mean Girls co star Lindsey Lohan, she was very gracious and said that Lindsey was constantly in her prayers. Lacey added that none of us is in a position to judge others as we all have different challenges to deal with in this life.

Lacey lives in Southern California, USA. An active Christian and regular church attender, she is also involved in a number of charities. Lacey is a very practical Christian who shows her faith in actions as well as words.
