Ewen Leslie lavora tra cinema e televisione senza cercare il centro della scena, e chi guarda lo ritrova quasi sempre in qualche altro titolo. Se un titolo lo colloca davanti al pubblico, è 'Peter Rabbit'. Chi cerca altri suoi lavori trova 'Peter Rabbit 2 - Un birbante in fuga'. Il suo mestiere si è formato sul set più che sulle copertine.
