Leonard Steward is a Chicago native that was born and raised on the south side of Chicago.  At an early age, he noticed that he had talent.  He started performing with the R&B group “New Wave” 30+ years ago, and found success doing that.

Then he was approached and asked to be a part of a brand new movie, “Magic,” that was being made by a Chicago screenwriter, Billy Ray Valentine.  This would be his first time acting, but he was up for the challenge.  He especially liked the character that he was playing, Big George, the gang leader of the BD’s (Black Disciples.)

After making the film, he was bitten by the “acting bug” and has not looked back.  He plans to do more acting in the very near future.

Leonard Steward: Research and understanding. I believe in signs and symbols to the conscious mind, so I pay attention to the smoke screen and the population control that’s taking place. Also the placement of the 5G, chemtrails, human meat, abductions of melanated people, cloning, media, etc. To me, this is just the first wave of the “New World Order!”
