ABOUT LEO
MEET LEO
I love show biz. My career began and is still centered on stage as an actor, but over the years as I layered in additional ventures like running a business, educating and coaching young artists, and pursuing commercial voiceover work, I’ve come to realize the importance of variety in how I get to share and expand my skills and talents in the world.
It makes sense after all: I’m a libra. It's about balance. It’s not just about my performing, or directing MTCA, or recording voice overs. The different types of people I collaborate with, the format through which I experience and witness growth and change in myself and in my students, and the stories we all sculpt and share: they all connect and complement each other. The demands are high, but the rewards are even higher. Being an artist is exhilarating.
Outside of The Work, I am a nature guy with a big green thumb - heck my whole hand is green. I have more house plants than I can count! When life gets me down, I ground myself with walks in Central Park. I love bagels + lox and I take my coffee black. Lacing up a pair of my Fluevogs feels ohhhh so good. And there’s nothing like a happy hour cocktail at the end of a hard working day. My grandma Vi taught me that.
Enjoy the many facets of Leo the Lion!
THE ACTOR
Broadway. The West End. National Tours. Creating original work. Leo is an enigma at his craft. Pivotal roles to date include The Emcee in Cabaret, Tateh in Ragtime, and Riff in West Side Story.
THE CAREER coach
Leo loves sharing his lived experiences (the highs, the lows, the close calls). He guides artists to trust their intuition and define their personal roadmap for success. A little advice for all: You are not defined by the credits on your resume. This is a long game. Communication and relationships are paramount: surrounding yourself with the people who inspire and celebrate all of you, will carry you far.
THE VOICEOVER ARTIST
Naturally raspy, gravelly voice, Leo has mastered the commercial VO world. He conveniently records auditions and bookings from his walk-in closet turned voice over booth.
