Dimitri Leonidas | A Charioteer's Journey

On this episode of Story & Craft, we sit down with actor Dimitri Leonidas, who is known for a number of projects, including his role as Hober Mallow in the Apple+ series, “Foundation”...as well as the new Roland Emmerich series, “Those About to Die” on Peacock, where he stars alongside Anthony Hopkins. Dimitri discusses his journey from child actor to his current projects, sharing personal stories about his Cypriot heritage, family, and experiences in various film and television projects. We also discuss his work in historical dramas, the intricacies of chariot racing training, and the impact of losing his mother at a young age.
