Leo Woodall steps into the spotlight opposite Dustin Hoffman in Tuner, playing Niki, a former piano prodigy whose ultra-sensitivity to sound upends his musical dreams and pulls him into an unlikely criminal world. Curious how a tuner becomes a thief's asset? Read on to discover the full story!

A family steeped in acting

Woodall grew up around performers — his father Andrew has dozens of credits, and his late stepfather, Scottish actor Alexander Morton, died in April at 81. Despite that lineage, acting was initially the last thing he wanted.

From music to mechanics

In the film Niki apprentices to Hoffman's master piano tuner, his hyperacusis turning into an uncanny gift for detecting tiny noises — a talent that makes him useful to criminals who crack safes.
