Acclaimed producer and actor Leonardo Nam can now be seen returning to his fan-favorite role as Maddox Hatter in Descendants: Wicked Wonderland, now streaming on Disney+. He is best known for HBO&#8217;s Westworld, where he starred opposite Thandiwe Newton as Felix Lutz, as well as standout roles in Marvel’s Werewolf by Night, Netflix’s Yes Day, and in films such as Origin, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants franchise, and The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.
