Robert Leeshock plays Liam Kincaid, the leader of the Resistance and a hero of mysterious lineage, whose destiny is to discover the true motives of the Companions in Gene Roddenberry’s Earth: Final Conflict.
Before devoting himself to a full-time acting career, Leeshock completed an engineering degree at New York's Cornell University in 1989. A native of New Jersey, he 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 several original plays at such theater companies as Samuel Beckett and Actor’s Factory, as well as create and perform original characters at the West Bank Café.
Leeshock lived in Los Angeles for three years, where he pursued his acting career in theater at the Complex and furthered the lives of original zany characters in stand up venues. Leeshock says the exercise of writing a one-man show was good background for his role as Liam Kincaid.
Leeshock's network television credits include recurring roles on Beverly Hills, 90210 and the popular daytime soap operas Loving and All My Children. He also appeared in the telenovella Crystal Empire and the comedy series Life's Work. His film credits include the independent features Me and Veronica and Elysian Fields.
When not on location, Leeshock continues to live in New York, where he can make regular visits to his parents and four brothers and sisters in New Jersey, who keep his feet firmly planted on Earth.
