Dimitri Leonidas

Actor

Dimitri Leonidas is a British actor who has worked extensively on stage, television, and film. Up next, Dimitri will star in the Peacock series Those About to Die. Directed by Roland Emmerich (Independence Day) and helmed by Anthony Hopkins, all episodes will premiere on July 18 on Peacock in the US and on July 19 internationally on Amazon Prime Video. The show is described as an epic drama set in the corrupt world of the spectacle-driven gladiatorial competition, exploring a side of ancient Rome never before told — the dirty business of entertaining the masses, giving the mob what they want most…blood and sport.

Dimitri recently starred as Hober Mallow in season 2 of Foundation and in the hugely successful Amblin series Masters of The Air both for Apple TV.

Dimitri’s other TV credits include the Netflix series The One penned by Howard Overman, in which he played the lead role of James, alongside Hannah Ware. He co-led the first 2 seasons of Sky Atlantic's Riviera, opposite Julia Stiles.

Dimitri took to the stage in an adaptation of Ingmar Bergman's Oscar-winning film Through a Glass Darkly., starring opposite Ruth Wilson, directed by Michael Attenborough.

In 2014, following a worldwide search, Dimitri was cast alongside George Clooney, Matt Damon, John Goodman and Cate Blanchett in World War II drama, The Monuments Men, which followed an unlikely platoon on the greatest treasure hunt in history. He followed this with Rosewater, Jon Stewart's directorial debut, in which he starred opposite Gael Garcia Bernal. This led him to be named as one of Screen International's Stars of Tomorrow.
