About Leonard

I am a RADA-trained professional actor and acting coach from Dublin. As an actor, I have worked extensively with some of the industry’s biggest names, appearing in films and TV series that include Kenneth Branagh’s Oscar-winning film Belfast, Hulu’s The Great opposite Elle Fanning, Julian Fellowes’ Belgravia: The Next Chapter, and most recently alongside Maxine Peake and Tom Vaughan-Lawlor in the hit FX series Say Nothing.

On stage, I have appeared in some of Ireland’s most prominent theatrical events in recent years, including Translations at the Abbey and Lyric Belfast, Nancy Harris’ The Beacon at The Everyman, and the world premiere of Mark O’Rowe’s Reunion, which premiered at The Galway International Arts Festival and Dublin Theatre Festival 2024 before transferring to The Kiln in 2025. I also originated the role of Robert Goodwin in the world premiere of Andrea Levy’s The Long Song at Chichester Festival Theatre.

In addition to my acting work, I have worked extensively as a teacher and acting coach, working as a teaching assistant in RADA's Summer School Programme, a group drama workshop facilitator at European Forum Alpbach in Austria, and as director of Meisner Institute Ireland, which I founded in 2023 and have run regularly alongside a successful and prestigious acting career ever since. The governing ethos at the heart of the work I do both there and in my private coaching practice is simple: to access the individual actor's most free, authentic and expansive self, and to take them on that process in the most direct, simple and effective way possible. The result is acting that is more spontaneous, less cerebral, thrilling to do and watch, and utterly unique and original to the individual actor. As an associate of the Meisner Institute in LA and a member of the fifth generation of teachers taught by Sanford Meisner to carry on the tradition of his unique approach to acting technique, I am the sole provider of Meisner training in Ireland that's both in keeping with the full breadth of the original training and approved by the Meisner estate.

Working with me, you can expect the same high success rate of recalls and offers enjoyed by the entirety of my client base when auditioning, and feel totally confident about what you're doing every time you want into the room, on set, or on stage.

I privately coach and mentor actors at all points in their careers. Lessons are determined by each actor's own particular needs and the demands of the material in question.

My central aim is to equip you with a direct, simple and effective approach that will optimise the quality of your work, increase your confidence in the utterly unique actor and individual you are, maximize your chances of booking the job or gaining entry to drama school, and ultimately make your job infinitely easier in the minimal amount of time. My clients enjoy an extremely high success rate with auditions, booking jobs globally on stage and screen, gaining entry to the world's leading drama schools, and experience a heightened sense of confidence, fulfilment and joy in their work as a whole.

I work with actors on auditions, ongoing projects, career mentoring, and help to improve their craft for both the stage and the screen in general through a methodology that draws from myriad approaches to acting technique, scene analysis, voice and movement work, accent work, and many other approaches that make up an ever-developing holistic framework.
