Leonidas Finlay

Leonidas Finlay is a young actor with a love for storytelling - on stage, on screen, and through his own writing. He first appeared on set at 11 months old in national print and video campaigns for major children's brands. His interest in film began at age five, after attending a screening of short films produced by a youth film class. During the Q&A session with the audience, he eagerly stood up to ask if he could join the class, despite being much younger than the other students. In addition to his screen work, Leonidas is an award-winning young writer, having won the Young Georgia Authors award and the MLK Jr. writing award at both the school and district levels while in Kindergarten. He was also the youngest winner of the 2025 Quintet Athens Symphonic Storytime Competition, where his original story was brought to life in a live performance featuring narration and musical accompaniment by a wind quintet. Leonidas is trained in musical theater, film performance, and piano. When he's not performing, he enjoys track and field, cross country, ninja/parkour, tennis, and soccer.
