. In 2016, Lee starred in ''Father Comes Home from the Wars''. Steph Watkins of ''A Younger Theatre'' wrote: "Odyssey the dog, played by Dex Lee, is a highlight from the performance. Lee absolutely embodies the characteristics of a dog without making it overly literal. His vocal work is outstanding, highlighting certain words to reflect aspects and emotional responses of a dog without impersonating, which works impeccably.

In 2017, he appeared in the West End production of '' The Wild Party'' as Jackie. Bethany Davidson of ''A Younger Theatre'' described his performance as "insatiable, oozing confidence whilst he lolls and rolls around the room". Lee continued to make appearances in stage productions until 2019, when he stated he wanted to make television appearances. Subsequently, he was cast in the
