Leo Vincent Woodall (born 14 September 1996) is an English actor. He is known for his roles in the second season of the HBO series The White Lotus (2022) and his portrayal of Dexter Mayhew in the Netflix series One Day (2024).

 

Early life

Woodall was born in Hammersmith, West London. He comes from a family of actors, including his father Andrew, stepfather, and grandmother; his parents met at drama school.

Career

After graduating from ArtsEd, Woodall made his television debut with a guest appearance in a 2019 episode of the BBC One medical soap opera Holby City. He also appeared in the short film Man Down. That summer, Woodall was cast in the upcoming feature film Nomad, having been chosen for the role out of 28,000 submissions. Filming took place in over twenty countries.

 

In the meantime, Woodall made his feature film debut in Cherry, directed by the Russo brothers. He played Adrian Ivashkov in the Peacock series Vampire Academy. Woodall joined the main cast of the HBO anthology series The White Lotus for its second season in Sicily as Jack, a young man from Essex.

In 2024, Woodall starred in his first lead role as Dexter Mayhew opposite Ambika Mod in the Netflix adaptation of David Nicholls' One Day. The series tells the story of two young people who meet annually for twenty years following a platonic one-night stand together. Along with positive reception for the series, Woodall received critical acclaim for his performance. Writing for IndieWire, Proma Khosla described Woodall as "especially devastating," further praising that he is "a tornado of charisma with a permanent yet never smug smirk and a romcom smolder that should send his forbears cowering at the notion". The role proved to be a major breakthrough in Woodall’s career.
