Dreyfus began singing at the age of four, which led her to the Southern California Children's Choir. While there, she auditioned for and was cast as a soloist at the Orange County Performing Arts Theatre.[1] She attended the Santa Barbara City College, where she acted in the school's production of The Physicists.[2]
Dreyfus joined lonelygirl15 in April 2007 as Sarah, who has been called one of the "most notable" new characters of the show.[3] She received the part after a friend recommended her to Miles Beckett and she auditioned for the role. She had not heard of lonelygirl15 before that time.[4] Dreyfus describes Sarah as "that 18-year-old everyone knew... selfish and self-absorbed, but so is every 18-year-old. She also wants to do the right thing."
She is one of only two actors from the original lonelygirl15 series to appear in its sequel, LG15: The Resistance. The other actor is Jackson Davis.[5] She is the only actress throughout the series to interact with fans at an event, which took place in Boston.[6]
She portrays Sasha in the third series of the interactive UK television show, Dubplate Drama.[7][8]
Dreyfus has also recorded music demos.[9] Her influences include Alanis Morissette, Jewel, Tina Dico, and Ani DiFranco.
In 2011, Lexi began appearing on Paris Hilton's reality show The World According to Paris.[10]
