moved to New York in the early 1980s, where he undertook selective scene study
training with Wyn Handmann, as well as training in the Meisner Technique, comedy
improvisation and voice. He went on to perform with several theater companies,
including Complex, West Bank Cafe, SoHo Repertory, Samuel Beckett and Actor's

Leeshock lived in Los Angeles from 1993 to 1996, where he
pursued his acting career and wrote a one-man show he says provided a good
foundation for his role as Liam Kincaid.
When not working on location, Leeshock continues to live in New York, from where
he makes regular visits to his parents and four brothers and sisters in New
Jersey, who keep his feet "firmly planted on Earth."
