Leon’s acting career started with smaller television parts, such as playing Freddie in several episodes of the series “Nash Bridges” in 1996 and 1997. The following year he appeared in the crime thriller “The Replacement Killers”, playing the character of Romero, after which he played a thug in the crime comedy “The Big Lebowski”. He went on to land supporting roles in the 1999 films “The Last Marshal” and “Tyrone”. His net worth started to rise.

Paving his way to recognition and fame, Leon continued to land various roles throughout the 2000s. In the early period of the decade, he appeared in films such as “‘R Xmas”, “Blasphemy the Movie”, “Empire” and “Big Apple”. In addition, he had a recurring role in the hit crime television series “Oz”, playing Carlos Martinez from 2000 to 2003. In the meantime, he made several other television and film appearances, and had recurring roles in the series “Law & Order: Criminal Intent”, “Law & Order” and “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”. Leon’s performances in both film and television projects contributed considerably to his rising popularity, and to his net worth as well.

In 2010 he got the leading role as Carlos Sanchez in the comedy film “Immigration Tango”. The same year he appeared in the hit series “Ugly Betty” and “White Collar”, and Leon’s other film appearances include the films “Smoking/Non-Smoking”, “Tio Papi” and the short film “Reflecting Adrianne”. His most recent film role was in the 2015 “Thinking with Richard”, and his last television appearance was in the 2016 series “Blue Bloods”.

Leon has also performed on stage, in both on- and off-Broadway productions, such as “Aunt Dan and Lemon” and “The Three Penny Opera”.

However, before establishing himself as a recognized figure in the film and television industry, Leon worked as a celebrity personal trainer. Among his famous clients was the legendary pop icon, Madonna. The two met in New York City in 1994 and eventually fell in love. Their daughter Lourdes was born in 1996, but the couple split several months later.

When it comes to his private life nowadays, Leon has been married to designer Betina Holte since 2013. They have one child together.
