Leo Wyatt on Charmed
Birthday: February 1st
Hometown: El Toro, CA
Actor Brian Krause has "charmed" his way into the otherworldly Halliwell household playing
Leo, the resident guardian angel who married Piper (Holly Marie Combs).
Krause first rose to attention when he starred opposite Milla Jovovich in The Return to the Blue Lagoon. Shortly thereafter,
he landed the lead role of Charles Brady in Stephen King's feline thriller Sleepwalkers. Additional features credits
include Breaking Free with The WB's Jeremy London and Christine Taylor, Naked Souls with Pamela Anderson Lee,
The Liars' Club with Wil Wheaton, and December costarring Balthazar Getty and Jason London. He also starred
opposite Judd Nelson in the television thriller Return to the Cabin by the Lake.
In addition to his series regular work, Krause has made guest appearances on a number of shows including Walker, Texas
Ranger and Tales From the Crypt, as well as a six-month stint as Matthew Cory on the daytime drama Another World.
Born and raised in Southern California, Krause enjoys playing golf, tennis and basketball when he's not on the beach or playing
Scrabble with friends and family.
No More Mr. Bad Guy: "I enjoy playing the good guy and being the one who carries the moral message.
It's not such a bad thing, being the guy who is helping girls learn the lessons. It's refreshing. Believe it or not, a lot
of the roles I've played before Charmed were generally the bad guys. When I go on hiatus, I'll probably have to shave
my head and be the evil one."
If You Really Want To Get My Attention: "Call me 'The Blue Flamer.' That's my nickname on the set. Alyssa and Holly
usually call me that. The guys keep it short and refer to me as BK. The girls like to pick on me because I'm like their brother
now."
Par For The Course: "I'm not really a crazy kind of out-there guy. Actually, I'm kind of boring. I don't
go to clubs. I don't go out dancing at trendy places like The Skybar. When I get wild, I golf."
Put Down The Bottle and Step Away From The Diaper: "Someday I'd like to have a family of my own, but for now I'm
perfectly content with pretending."
Okay... Let Me Rephrase That "I'm not entirely boring. I do love to race cars. That's how I get my adrenaline racing."
Dramarama: "I ended up getting into acting because this guy in my junior high P.E. class wanted to kick
my butt, so I hid from him by switching into drama class. I wound up being pretty decent at it and decided to pursue it."
Tiger Woods, Watch Out: "When I'm not working, I'm golfing. I'm completely and utterly addicted. It's all I think
about."
Does He Believe in Witches? "As far as being able to fly and do all that stuff, I don't know. But I've met a couple
of people who say they're witches. They're kind of trippy. I dated this girl a while ago, and she said she was a witch. Once
I heard that, I had to go."
Close Encounters: "I got cornered in a Burger King bathroom once by a bunch of 12-year-old girls. They were screaming,
"You're Leo, you're Leo!" And I was like, "Yes, I'm Leo, peeing."
Hairy Situation: "In high school, I went through, like, 10 different changes. I went from jock to Flock
of Seagulls guy to ska guy to break-dance guy. One day, I came into school with my Flock of Seagulls hair, and this guy said,
"Dude, wipe the hair spray off your forehead." I was mortified. I never wore my hair like that again."
