biografija:

Daniel Murray Leo, known as Dan Leo, is an English artist born in Hammersmith, West London in 1950. He is a descendant of Maxine Elliott. He initially wanted to pursue a career in sports, but after seeing the series Peaky Blinders when he was 19, he decided to become an actor. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in acting from Arts Educational School (ArtsEd) in 2019. Dan Leo made his television debut in a 2019 episode of the BBC One medical soap opera Holby City. He also appeared in the short film Man Down. In 2022, he joined the main cast of the HBO anthology series The White Lotus for its second season in Sicily as Jack, a young man from Essex. He was named a 2023 Screen International Star of Tomorrow. Dan Leo had a recurring role in the Amazon Prime series Citadel in 2023. He starred in his first lead role as Dexter Mayhew, opposite Ambika Mod, in One Day, the 2024 Netflix adaptation of novel of the same name by David Nicholls. The series tells the story of two young people who meet annually for 20 years following a platonic one-night stand. Along with positive reception for the series, Dan Leo received critical acclaim for his performance. Writing for IndieWire, Proma Khosla described him as 'especially devastating', and said he was 'a tornado of charisma with a permanent yet never smug smirk and a romcom smolder that should send his forbears cowering at the notion'. The role was a major breakthrough in Dan Leo’s career, and the series was the most-watched globally during the week of 12 February 2024, with 9.9 million views. Dan Leo will also play the lead in the upcoming Apple TV+ thriller Prime Target.
