Born on September 14, 1996, in Hammersmith, West London, Leo Woodall is the kind of actor who makes you go, “Wait, who’s that?” before Googling him mid-episode. At just 28, he’s already carving out an impressive career that screams leading man energy.

After snagging a Bachelor of Arts in Acting from the prestigious Arts Educational School in 2019, Woodall hit the ground running. His TV debut was a guest role in Holby City—because every British actor worth their salt has to pass through its halls at least once, right? But he didn’t stay there long. His big-screen debut came shortly after in Cherry (2021), sharing screen time with Tom Holland. Casual.

Then came Vampire Academy on Peacock in 2022, where he played Adrian Ivashkov. Think brooding, charming, and very much the vampire you’d let bite you. He has also starred in the Netflix adaptation of David Nicholl’s One Day alongside Ambika Mod.
But the real game-changer? Joining the cast of The White Lotus, HBO’s smash-hit anthology series. Who could forget that infamous steamy sex scene where his character Jack gets a little too friendly with Tom Hollander’s Quentin, only to be caught red-handed by a visibly horrified Jennifer Coolidge, who plays Tanya? Talk about making an entrance into the pop culture zeitgeist! Woodall even candidly shared that his family members begrudgingly watched it along with him–talk about a family affair to never remember!

With a growing fanbase and a knack for stealing scenes, it was only a matter of time before Leo got his own starring role—and Apple TV+ is delivering just that with its latest offering, Prime Target. Woodall steps into the spotlight as Edward Brook, a genius math postgraduate on the brink of a groundbreaking discovery. Of course, nothing comes easy—his life takes a dangerous turn when a shadowy enemy comes after him. Forced to fight for answers (and survival), Edward teams up with a government agent to unravel a high-stakes conspiracy.
What makes Edward even more compelling? He’s queer and in a relationship with Adam, played by Fra Fee (Lost Boys & Fairies), adding another layer of depth to this high-stakes thriller.

He tells Queerly, “For me, I’d never taken on a role like Ed. I’d previously played guys who were very outgoing and sociable and get into mischief and enjoy a bit of mischief and [were] very good with people, and Ed is none of those things.”
