I’m currently a working actor in Los Angeles, CA (something I never thought I’d say!). I grew up in Michigan, where I also eventually attended college (Go Blue, or whatever). My journey to acting has, so far, largely been one of happenstance. I was semi-merrily going about my business when I was messaged on social media to read for a role; a casting agency searching for trans actors to portray a trans character. I didn’t realize then: that was beginning of very, very wild ride. I was adopted from Hunan, China, and raised by two moms who were social workers. I fought the social work bug for a long time. I wanted to be a doctor, then a teacher, then an EMT, then a screenwriter. But, eventually, I landed on social worker. I was scheduled to begin a two-year master’s program at the University of Michigan’s School Social Work when I booked my first acting job in 2017: a lead role in the film Adam. Fastforward to 2022, and I’m currently preparing to enter my third year as a series regular on Showtime’s The L Word: Generation Q. I’ve also worked with Vice on a mini-docuseries, and I was fortunate to have a role on the 2021 feature, Matrix Resurrections (holy crap!). For anyone wondering, I still haven’t graduated with my master’s degree. Although I’m currently focused on acting, I remain close to my roots of facilitation and community building. My identities as a Chinese American queer trans man heavily inform my work on screen, and my work behind the scenes https://www.leosheng.com/new-page-3 daily 0.75 2022-03-17 https://www.leosheng.com/features daily 0.75 2022-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ac5710312b13fa425475a6a/a99db2e0-958b-4e6a-b638-ca6783947514/Screen+Shot+2022-03-17+at+12.33.27+PM.png Features Photo Credit: Liz Morris, Showtime https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ac5710312b13fa425475a6a/7e942c9d-4dc7-4ad4-92eb-8b57185f0465/Screen+Shot+2022-03-17+at+12.36.16+PM.png Features From left: Elliot Fletcher, Shaan Dasani, Theo Germaine, Leo Sheng and Scott Turner Schofield, photographed on Oct. 2, 2019, in downtown Los Angeles.
