With his starring roles in two of the most popular foreign films of all time, Italian native Marco Leonardi has become one of Hollywood’s most sought-after young actors.

In Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003), Leonardi stars as a drunken bandito with Antonio Banderas and Johnny Depp. He filmed _Mary (2005)_ with Juliette Binoche in Italy. Leonardi made his U.S. feature debut in the independent drama My Brother Jack (1997). Based on a true story and set in the 1960s, “My Brother Jack” centers on an Italian-American, working-class family whose son becomes addicted to heroin.

In “Cinema Paradiso” Leonardi portrayed the adult “Toto,” whose fascination with movies and his loving relationship with a Sicilian movie theater projectionist is chronicled. Critically acclaimed, “Cinema Paradiso” won the Academy Award for best Foreign Film. American audiences most recently saw Leonardi co-starring in the TNT Original Movie David (1997). Born in Australia to Italian parents, Leonardi grew up in Rome and began in commercials at the age of three.
