Leonel Antonio Severino, born on December 18, 1989, as the third of four children to Ana T. Severino, in Salem, Massachusetts, began his journey in Lynn, Massachusetts, where he was raised by his mother and stepfather, Alexander Jimenez.
As a young boy, Leonel's life took a dramatic turn when he relocated to Providence, Rhode Island, where he made a name for himself as a Krump dancer, earning the nickname "Witness" for his impressive skills.
However, Leonel's true passion lay in acting, which he discovered at the tender age of 10 while watching the groundbreaking film "The Matrix" directed by the Wachowski Siblings. Despite his family's initial skepticism, Leonel was determined to pursue his dream and dedicated himself to the craft of acting.
With unwavering dedication, Leonel taught himself the art of visual effects by watching YouTube videos and reading literature on the subject. He spent years honing his skills, attending casting calls across the United States, from Rhode Island to California, New York, and Philadelphia, driven by his unrelenting passion.
Leonel's perseverance finally paid off when he landed his first starring role in the film "Bleed For This," marking the beginning of a successful acting career that has left an indelible mark on the industry.
