Marco Leonardi

Marco Leonardi, born in 1971 in Australia to Italian parents, relocated to Italy at four, where his early screen debut in Cinema Paradiso launched his career. A versatile actor, he has starred in films across continents, including the Mexican drama Like Water for Chocolate and Once Upon a Time in Mexico in the United States. His range extends to Canadian cinema with The Five Senses. Leonardi's decade-long residency in Los Angeles further underscores his international appeal, despite a long-term engagement with Mexican actress Lumi Cavazos that ended in 1999.
