Robert Sean Leonard

World fame came to the American actor Robert Sean Leonard with the role of Dr. James Wilson in the mega-popular TV series "House Doctor", which, according to 2013 statistics, was watched by 80 million viewers. The medical drama got into the Guinness Book of Records, and all the artists who starred in it became stars. Robert Sean Leonard, who starred in all eight seasons of the series, woke up famous.

Not all fans of the series and the artist know that the main thing in the creative biography of Robert Sean Leonard is not cinema, but theater. The American made the name on the Broadway stage, and shooting in "soap operas" for theater stars is bad form. But after appearing on the screens, TV viewers from America, Europe and Russia learned about the artist's existence.

Robert Lawrence Leonard - this is the real name of the actor - was born in February 1969 in the northeast of America, in the state of New Jersey. He grew up in a family where neither his parents nor distant relatives had anything to do with acting and any other kind of art. Mom worked as a nurse, father taught children Spanish.

The future artist was born in Westwood, but Robert spent his childhood in Ridgewood, a suburb of New York. Here, Robert Sean Leonard graduated from high school and became a student at the private Fordhanm University, but soon transferred to America's most prestigious Columbia University, choosing a general education faculty.

As a teenager, Bobby's family and friends call him acting. From the age of 12, Bobby Leonard appeared on the stage of Broadway theaters, and at 16, American theater-goers knew the name of the talented actor well. For Leonard, acting became the main occupation in life, so after graduating from Columbia University, Robert focused on theater.

Having won a name on stage, Robert Sean Leonard tried his hand at cinema. The theater actor got on the set thanks to the influence of his childhood friend Casper Van Dien, famous for his role as Johnny Rico in Paul Verhoeven's fantasy action movie Starship Troopers.

17-year-old Leonard, like most of his young colleagues, began his career in cinema with episodic roles in low-budget projects. He made his debut in the science fiction comedy The Manhattan Project, released in 1986. Then there were episodes in the comedy film "My Best Friend is a Vampire" and the science fiction series "The Twilight Zone".

Fortune awaited Robert Sean Leonard two years after his debut in Peter Weir's drama Dead Poets Society, where he was asked to play a vulnerable student Neil Perry, who committed suicide. The tape has become a cult film for intellectuals in America and Europe and has been nominated for the Oscar and Golden Globe awards. The drama stars Robin Williams, Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles. In this stellar company, Leonard played the main character of the film.

The decade that followed the drama's resounding triumph did not bring Robert Sean any resounding success or unfortunate defeats. In the early 1990s, Leonard starred in the drama Mr. & Mrs. Bridge, the tragicomedy In Sorrow and in Joy, and the musical melodrama Children of Swing by Thomas Carter, where he appeared with Christian Bale and Frank Whaley. To avoid overlap with a colleague's name, Leonard replaced Lawrence's middle name with Sean. Robert borrowed it from his brother.

1993 saw the premiere of the comedy film Much Ado About Nothing directed by Kenneth Branagh. This is a screen adaptation of the play of the same name by William Shakespeare as read by Bran, where Robert Sean Leonard got the role of Claudio. The comedy starred a constellation of actors. Benedict was played by Kenneth Branagh himself, and the director assigned the role of Beatrice to Emma Thompson. Key characters went to Keanu Reeves, Kate Beckinsale and Denzel Washington.

Another significant role was played by the artist 3 years later in the drama "The Murder Diary". Leonard ended the 1990s with work in the action movie "Control of the Land", where he played the main character. In the early 2000s, the American actor starred in the science fiction anthology series Beyond the Possible, the Tape melodrama starring Uma Thurman, and the Racer drama with Sylvester Stallone.

All these years, Robert Sean Leonard did not stop appearing on the stage and achieved noticeable success: in 2001, the artist was awarded the Tony Award for his work in the play The Invention of Love based on the play by Tom Stoppard. Glory was waiting for the actor in 2004. David Shore decided to shoot a medical drama about a genius doctor-diagnostician, the key idea of ​​which was, as in the story with Sherlock Holmes, the search for the killer, in this case the disease.

The first to be cast was Robert Sean Leonard. Soon Hugh Laurie appeared in the project, whom the director saw in the image of that very genius doctor. Lisa Edelstein, Jesse Spencer, Omar Epps and Olivia Wilde played the chief physician of the clinic and House assistants. All eight seasons, Robert Sean Leonard appeared as House's best friend, oncologist James Wilson.

Dr. Wilson is a character with a delicate yet strong character. He alone is not afraid to argue with an authoritarian genius and tell an inconvenient truth. Viewers saw in the House-Wilson duo an example of true male friendship, harsh and touching at the same time.

Contrary to skeptical forecasts, the series became a bestseller and lasted eight seasons - from 2004 to 2012. Millions of TV viewers around the world have become fans of the tape, the directors shot similar series. Robert Sean Leonard and his 10-year-old Hugh Laurie have become friends over the years of filming.

The very first seasons of "House Doctor" brought Leonard worldwide fame. After completing filming in the series, the American starred in the TV series "Skies Collapsed", "Black List" and "Battle Creek". No project has been as successful as House Doctor. In the theater, the artist was nominated for the Tony Award three times.

In the mid-1990s, Robert Sean Leonard met Gabriella Salik, an athlete. The romance that broke out was crowned with marriage 18 years later; before that, the couple was in no hurry to stamp their passports. Robert and Gabriella decided to legalize the relationship in 2008, and a year later their daughter Eleanor was born. Today the couple are raising two daughters: Eleanor Leonard and Claudia Leonard.

Leonard's height is 1.83 meters. The actor is left-handed. In addition to Hugh Laurie, he is friends with Ethan Hawke, whom he met on the set of the Dead Poets Society. Together with Hawke, Robert Sean Leonard founded a theater company.

The artist continues to appear on the theatrical stages of Broadway and act in films. From September 2009 to May 2016, CBS aired the series The Good Wife, in which Leonard appeared.

TV viewers liked the legal drama so much that in 2015 the authors, Robert and Michelle King, extended the project for a seventh season.

In February 2017, the premiere of a spin-off of the tape entitled "Good Fight" took place. Robert Sean Leonard is not a fan of social media. Instagram and Twitter pages are most likely fake.
