Publish date: 2024-05-05

Leon Robinson's exposure in Madonna's "Like a Prayer" video led to the actor's most significant roles. In 1991, he played J.T. in the film The Five Heartbeats, Derice Bannock in the 1993 film Cool Runnings, and Russell in 1995's Waiting to Exhale. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Leon played many famous musicians in various TV movies and mini-series, including David Ruffin in the 1998 mini-series The Temptations, Jackie Wilson in the TV movie Mr. Rock' n' Roll: The Alan Freed Story, and the title role in the 2000 Little Richard TV film. Leon also had recurring roles on TV shows such as Resurrection Blvd, Oz, and Diary of a Single Mom.

In 2005, Leon formed the Reggae/R&B band Leon and the Peoples. The group's second album, Love Is a Beautiful Thing, released in 2015, was the band's most successful. Featuring the single's, the title track, "Love Is a Beautiful Thing," and "Beautiful." On Oct. 14, 2020, the band released their single, "The World's Gonna Come Around."

Leon is one busy man, but there is nothing more important to him than his family. His and Cynthia Bailey's daughter Noelle came out as sexually fluid in late 2019. "I'm completely supportive of my daughter," Leon told Vlad TV. "Who she loves and who loves her, that's got to be her choice. I could never make that choice as a parent, nor could my parent make that choice about me." Amen to that.
