Leo was born and raised in Montreal, Canada into a big and traditional Italian family. His love for acting began when he was first introduced to soap operas by his grandmother soon after he took his first steps. He loved how TV shows would affect his grandparents even though they hardly spoke any English. In love with the art of acting and entertainment at such a young age, he knew there was nothing he'd rather do. His first role ever came in his early high school years, at the age of 14 when he played the role of Mercutio in Romeo and Juliette during a public community event. He then studied Cinema and Communication at Dawson College where he filmed,wrote and starred in many student films. The Theatre and Development program at Concordia University followed. Once he was done with school, quickly found himself lead roles in many short films around the city, some of which have made it to film festivals such as Festival International de Cannes, Palm Spring international short fest, and The New York Los Angeles International film festival. In 2012 Leo (Actor, writer), Kevin Demers (Producer,Writer, Director) and Tarek A. Gharzouzi (D.O.P, Photographer and Writer) formed a film production team called "Bubo Pictures" in order to expand their visibility and showcase their talent. In late 2013 Leo moved to Vancouver, BC. Less than a month later, he landed his first supporting role along side actors Ron Perlman, Dolph Lundgren and Tony Jaa in the action packed film "Skin Trade" as Janko, a cocaine driven Eastern European sex trafficker. He then continued to land many roles in popular television shows such as "Arrow", "Supernatural" and "Motive" within his first year in Vancouver's entertainment industry. In the summer of 2014 he had the pleasure of working with the infamous film directors Jen and Sylvia Soska (better known as the Twisted Sisters) in their movie "Vendetta". Leo is not only known for his tough guy roles but also for his commitment to his characters. While filming "Prison Break" (2016), Leo had a fight scene which led to him getting a broken nose. But that didn't stop him from continuing the scene. Leo went on to deliver his dialogue and finished the scene. He said the broken nose didn't bother him much, as long as they got it all on camera. He got cleaned up, continued filming and all with a smile on his face. Leo is living and working out of Vancouver and is quickly gaining respect and recognition in the industry. - IMDb Mini Biography By: Sandro Luciani
