Savannah-native Leon Shields is an actor and model based out of Atlanta, Georgia. Leon found his way to acting after a sports injury led him to background acting on one of the many professional productions that bring themselves to Savannah. Since finding his new passion, he has strived to continue his career in thought-provoking and impactful projects that can reach all audiences and sharing stories that help him expand and explore his craft.

His credits include Shakespeare in Love (Dir. John Prosky), an upcoming student action film Desiderium (Dir. Aleksander Carrol), and a fashion film by Jai Tab. Leon graduates this Spring from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) with a BFA in Acting. This year, he has had the honor of being a part of SCAD’s 2025 Acting Showcase, directed by Andrea Frankle, Ashanti Brown, and Kayli Carter.
