From Like A Prayer to Reggae
Actor Leon, known to Madonna fans for his appearance in the controversial 1989 video Like a Prayer, celebrated with Hip-Hop Activist Raoul Juneja (a.k.a. Deejay Ra) at the Canadian music debut of Leon and his reggae band ‘The Peoples’, January 19th at the Docks Entertainment Complex in Downtown Toronto.
Leon‘s eagerly anticipated performance to commemorate the release of his debut reggae album, “The Road Less Traveled“, took place under the banner of Jamaica legend Beres Hammond’s 27-city North American tour.
Leon has made his presence known in over 50 film, television and musical productions since 1983, starring opposite names such as Angela Bassett, Tom Cruise, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Anna Paquin, Sylvester Stallone, and Oprah Winfrey among others. Many first noticed Leon playing a saint in the Mary Lambert directed music video ‘Like A Prayer’, first single from Madonna’s then new album, but Leon’s big break came when he starred opposite Canadian comedy legend John Candy in Disney’s 1993 “Cool Runnings” film.
