From his famous father, he inherited a charming appearance and a kind of performing skills. The photos taken at about the same age show how similar the older and younger Leonovs are.

The profession of Andrei Leonov's mother was also associated with art, she served in the literary section of the Lenkom Theater.

From early childhood, the boy spent a lot of time on the set and was fascinated by the magic of cinema. Watching the amazing acting transformations, the boy himself dreamed of trying his hand. He began performing in school productions and an amateur acting circle.

Andrey Leonov finally chose a profession after his film debut. At the age of 13, he starred in an episode in the movie "Racers", where his father also participated.

After that, he purposefully decided to continue the dynasty, in parallel trying himself in new roles. In the mid-70s, Leonov Jr. starred in several issues of the Yeralash television magazine.

In 1976, Andrei Leonov was enrolled in the Shchukin Theater School (course of Kazan). Wanting to follow in his father's footsteps, he often came to Lenkom. Watching the brilliant performance of Yevgeny Leonov, he gradually honed his skills, involuntarily repeating memorable acting models.

Most of all, Andrey liked two productions - "Not on the lists" and "The Legend of Thiel". The teenager imagined himself on stage and dreamed that someday he would be able to play on equal terms with talented artists. Soon his wish came true.

In 1978, the Leonovs appeared in the popular TV movie "An Ordinary Miracle". Andrey played the role of a hunter's apprentice. However, he managed not to get lost among the whole scattering of Soviet cinema stars and adequately show his opportunities for creative growth to recognized theater masters.

A few months later, the promising artist was invited to audition at the famous "Lenkom". After receiving a theater education in 1979, he became an equal member of the illustrious troupe.

Unlike many eminent children, Andrei Leonov paid his debt to his homeland and served two years in the army. This decision caused considerable surprise in the family, everyone tried to dissuade him, including his father. But even though the young man grew up in "hothouse" conditions, he never regretted his decision.

According to the actor, the army hardened him, made him strong and independent. After demobilization, he returned to his native theater and never left it.

On the stage, which he dreamed about in childhood, Andrei Leonov performed a large number of roles in the performances "Hamlet", "A Lady's Visit", "Two Women", "Till", "Royal Games", "Tartuffe".

In the 80-90s, the actor almost did not act in films. The filmography of this period has only four supporting roles, which are considered rather exceptions. In the family saga of Vladimir Basov "Time and the Conway Family" Andrei played one of the leading characters of Alain in his youth, in which Evgeny Leonov also reincarnated.

After Yevgeny Leonov passed away in 1994, his son became one of the leading Lenkom actors, as well as a living continuation of the foundations of the theater. He did not lack the honor and respect of the audience, so for more than twenty years he practically did not leave the theater stage and was able to earn a name in the profession. His merits were appreciated. In 1997 he became an Honored Artist of Russia.

The 2000s became an era of return to the cinema world for the actor's creative biography. He starred in several popular television series at once. In the film "Women's Logic", where Alisa Freundlich played the main role, he played an investigator.

In 2005, viewers saw the actor in the more significant role of Alexander Sakharov in the biographical production of Yesenin.

Together with Andrei Leonov, Lydia Fedoseeva-Shukshina and Alla Yuganova shone on the screen.

In addition to television series, he starred in commercials, hosted the program "Illness - no" on the "Capital" TV channel. But the real popular recognition of the actor was still ahead.

Unlike the early famous parent of his true triumph, Andrei Leonov waited almost 30 years.

The beloved series brought Andrey Leonov a nomination for the TEFI-2008 prize and the Ukrainian TV Star prize.

In 2010, the producer was lucky enough to convince the actor to continue filming in the 14th season, which was announced last. But the love of viewers for the heroes of the extraordinary production caused a storm of responses with the desire to see the sequel. In 2012, the long-awaited project “Daddy's Daughters.
