During his school years, Leo's English teacher recognized his talent for acting and encouraged him to join a local drama group at age 11. Inspired by a memorable recitation of a passage from Shakespeare's "Macbeth" at his audition, Leo developed a passion for the stage. After graduating high school, he pursued a degree in Humanities at an Oxford college, where he continued to hone his craft in various theatrical productions.
