Leonard Roberts was born on November 17, 1972. His hometown is St. Louis, Missouri. He graduated in '95 from Depaul University's Theatre School with an FBA in acting. He's thirty. That's it. That's about all I could find, all I could figure out. I do know that, as an actor, he did alot of stage work in Chicago with alot of well-established theatre companies, like Goodman Theatre and Shakespeare Repertory Theatre. He has also recently completed the movie, "Joe and Max", about the true story of friendship between boxers Joe Louis and Max Schmeling in the thirties. More on Leonard as his story develops. If you know any more about this actor, or where I could get some interviews of him, please drop me a line.
In the meantime, I have amassed a small collection of links below, including a link to an essay about the relationship between Leonard's Buffy character, "Forrest Gates" (introduced and killed off in season 4)and Buffy's then-love-interest, Riley Finn. You will also find a link to my... not so much an essay as a rant, on the character development of Forrest Gates.
Enjoy!
