Leo Hunter had his first acting experiences from the moment he was born. Waiting backstage for his mother, who was a theatre actress and drama teacher, she would rush backstage between scenes to feed a young Leo!He showed signs that the acting gene was running through his blood by the age of 4 when he would start acting classes and perform in theatre productions around the world (where he and his family lived) from Afghanistan to Russia.Leo's father is a playwright and author, and the family moved to London when Leo was 7.Like a cat with nine lives; growing up, Leo showed a huge talent for boxing and subsequently moved to Sheffield to train under the watchful eye of Brendan Ingle, the man behind Prince Naseem. After fighting back and forth in the UK and in Las Vegas, Leo hung up his gloves and moved back to London to complete a business degree at Westminster University. This was followed by a medical degree at King's College.Leo graduated, completing work on several movies whilst studying, and continued to follow his love for acting. In 2010, Leo got his first major role in Prince of Persia as the Head of the Persian Army (his scene was ultimately cut). This did not stop Leo from pursuing his passion. Acting was in his genes and Leo would go on to star in Fast and Furious, I Give It A Year, Snow White and the Huntsman and An Honourable Woman.Recently he can be seen in Humans (Season 2) and has just finished filming the first ever live feature film, Lost in London, starring alongside the director and actor Woody Harrelson, Owen Wilson and Willie Nelson.
