Twin fisted existentialist, whose post-Nietzschean sensibilities reject the lantern of the cynic in a quest for a sun that leaves no shadow, embarked on a journey that would defy convention and challenge the norms.
Born and raised, he attended Dr Challoners Grammar School, where he achieved 8 o' levels, a testament to his academic prowess. However, instead of pursuing higher education, he opted to work on demolition sites, a decision that would shape his future.
In his twenties, he turned his attention to the performing arts, studying and honing his craft. This led to a career in professional wrestling, where he made a name for himself. His success in the ring caught the attention of casting directors, and he soon landed the role of John in the film Snatch.
This marked the beginning of a successful acting career, with roles in popular TV shows such as Eastenders, the Bill, and Emmerdale, as well as parts in major motion pictures like Batman Begins and Elizabeth: The Golden Age. When work was slow, he turned to cage fighting, securing impressive wins over LA street fighting legend Kimo Leopoldo and UFC heavyweight champion Dan Severn.
However, his fight and acting careers began to clash, and he had to make difficult choices. When offered a role in Steven Berkoff's On The Waterfront, he regretfully declined due to his fight commitments. Instead, Berkoff attended Legeno's fight at Wembley Arena, where he defeated Herb Dean.
Eventually, he was cast as Fenrir Greyback in the Harry Potter series, and he put his fight career on hold. This marked a new chapter in his life, one that would see him excel in the world of acting.
