Leonid the Magnificent
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leonid the Magnificent (born Leonid Filatov. Russian: Леонид Филатов) is a Russian drag performer, dancer, and acrobat born in 1973 who now lives in Brooklyn. The past 6 years he's been trying to appear on stage but every one turned him down except Jay Leno. Having performed in various clubs in Miami, The Hard Rock Hotel, and Beacher's Madhouse, he remained obscure until his appearance on America's Got Talent.
He was selected to go to the semi-finals for America's Got Talent. David Hasselhoff, a judge on the show, picked him to go on the wild card episode. He was then eliminated by the viewers.
