Leonardo Santaiti

Leonardo Santaiti is an American Actor and Filmmaker, born first generation in East Meadow, New York. He learned English at the age of four and still retains fluency in both Spanish and Italian. Leonardo strongly identifies with his Italian-Argentine heritage, finding much of his artistic inspiration from large family dinners filled with plenty of food, songs, and stories. Santaiti began training in grade school and throughout his academic career he was involved in chorus, band, and theater. Although he starred in various stage productions and short films while receiving his undergrad, the immigrant mentality pushed him towards business studies, leading him to graduate with a BBA in International Business. Leonardo knew the corporate route was not the path for him, so he decided to take a detour and travel the world to learn more about life and himself. Upon his return, he landed his first feature film lead role in A Band of Rogues (2012), receiving a best ensemble award. His credits
