A college Professor/Administrator for 40 years, Leon’s acting career began quite by accident when he was asked to audition for a campus production of "A Shayna Maidel." Matching the director’s vision of Mordechai Weiss perfectly , Leon, was cast, and after the first performance, was hooked on acting. Retired from academia, acting is now his passion and when asked why he acts, he responds, “Some people play golf, others go fishing. I get up on stage.”

Leon has appeared in over two dozen stage productions, television and film roles as well as several commercials.

After reading the Flying Free script, the opportunity to portray Rabbi Dobb was welcomed by Leon, and he is looking forward to working with Daniel and a very talented cast in bringing this story to life.
