Leon's journey in the world of acting began at the tender age of 13, when he made the bold decision to fill in as the lead actor in a play called A Change Of Heart, just a couple of months before the final three performances were set to take place. This was a daunting task, considering Leon had never acted before, but he rose to the challenge and caught the acting bug.
Following his success in A Change Of Heart, Leon went on to star in various musicals, including Dracula Spectacular and Grease, where he played the iconic role of Johnny Casino. He continued to take on smaller roles, but his passion for acting only grew stronger.
The following year, Leon was offered a role in West Side Story, but ultimately decided to attend Solihull college instead, where he studied A level drama, Media studies, and Sociology. Although he didn't complete his courses, Leon gained valuable experience, particularly in the drama department, and soon realized that he needed to take a step back and re-evaluate his goals.
After some careful consideration, Leon enrolled in a 2-year Sound Engineering course at Sandwell college, which allowed him to explore a new creative outlet. However, his love for acting never truly faded, and he eventually made the decision to restart his acting career.
In 2004, Leon made the move to London, where he began working on various projects, including Eastenders, Man Down, Skyfall, Fast and Furious 6, The Harbinger, White Collar Hooligan (1+2),The Fall Of The Essex Boys, and The Dead Inside.
