At age nine, Leonard headlined his first screen project: the short film "His Good Will" (2008), in which he starred opposite James Avery and Ashley Jones. It wasn't long before Leonard was taking roles in television series, such as "The Fresh Beat Band" (Nickelodeon 2009-2013), and feature films, the first of which was the crime drama "Now Here" (2010). After a string of one-off parts on series including "For Better or Worse" (TBS/OWN 2011- ) and "Big Time Rush" (Nickelodeon 2009-2013), Leonard became a regular cast member of the new series "House of Lies" (Showtime 2012-).
