Leo Howard

"I think that&apos;s what really got me addicted to performing. My role changed as I&apos;ve grown as a performer and just plain grown. I was OK, I wasn&apos;t that great at the start, so they would do cool moves and then poof! Here&apos;d be this cute kid running out there to do some karate. But for the last couple of years I&apos;ve been one of the main performers"
