Biography
American actor, best known for his role in the movie "Dead Poets Society," 1989. He received positive notice from the critics for his portrayal of Neil Perry, the sensitive student who is driven to suicide, and his successful performance provided the dramatic core for the film.
He was born Robert Lawrence Leonard in Westwood, New Jersey. Nicknamed "Bobby," he took his brother’s first name as his middle name, becoming Robert Sean Leonard. At Fordham University, he studied history for five years, and as well, he attended Columbia University School of General Studies and Continuing Education.
After working on Broadway in such plays as "Brighton Beach Memoirs" from the age of 12, the talented and creative left-handed actor made his film debut at age 17 when he appeared in "The Manhattan Project," 1986. Although he appeared in various films throughout the late ’80s and early ’90s and narrated classic books for audio release, his first love is the stage. He received a Tony nomination for his work in 1993’s "Candida," and in 1999, he worked with Kevin Spacey in the critically acclaimed revival, "The Iceman Cometh." During 2001, he appeared in the television docudrama, "A Glimpse of Hell." He and several friends have a small theatre company, Malaparte, in New York.
