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. Dimitri also talks about his interests outside of acting, including Brazilian jiu-jitsu and photography. It was a fun chat...one I’m sure you’ll enjoy!

Dimitri Leonidas

He called me and he said, uh, well, I'm, I'm short staff here. I need someone to come in and, you know, help unload these containers. Can't you just tell him you nip over for a bit and let me just check in with Apple, dad, if they don't mind putting the whole shoot on hold.
