Grace Elaine Leonardi

My name is Grace E. Leonardi. I am an actor from Metro Detroit, Michigan with formal training in both Film and Theatre Acting. I am a dedicated creative and a go-getter willing to put in the work on every project that I could be the right fit for! As somebody with Tourette’s Syndrome, I’m often overlooked in auditions because of my Tics. Living with both this neurological disability and a physical (hypermobility) disability does present struggles, though I believe it allows me to bring an extra level of empathy, authenticity, and depth to a wide range of roles. I'm passionate about continuing to grow as an artist and create in a collaborative environment, telling stories with real human heart, and I am always eager to take on new and challenging opportunities while bringing confidence and commitment to every performance.
