In 2009, the film Victoria Day was released with Leishman in a supporting role. The film was praised for being "expertly put together, the editing and framing so sturdy and right that the twin currents of the film flow over the viewer unimpeded".[1] In 2010, Leishman co-starred with Maggie Castle and Jason Mewes in the Canadian television horror series Todd and the Book of Pure Evil. The show was renewed for a second season, where she reprises her role as Hannah.[2]
