Berlin Motion Picture Awards Interview

BMPA: What do you feel has played the biggest role in your evolution as an artist? Who or what has significantly influenced your artistic journey and vision?

Leonidas: While my reel showcases my work as an actor, my evolution as an artist has been most profoundly shaped by my commitment to versatility and the continuous study of why people do what they do. The biggest influence has been the work of masters who manage to convey immense depth with minimal expression—actors who find the truth in stillness and dialogue. Every character I play, from the highly driven executive focused on 'goals' to the witty conversationalist debating 'Fine Dining', is an opportunity to explore a new facet of the human condition. The continuous learning from directors and scene partners on set is what truly shapes my artistic vision.
