Leo Fitzpatrick, who is best known for his chilling role as the skateboarding serial de-virginizer Telly in the 1995 film Kids, was himself a reckless street kid when he was chosen by writer/director Larry Clark for the role. Soon, Fitzpatrick was landing a series of roles in film and television. As his acting career began to take off, Fitzpatrick insisted that he had moved past his delinquent adolescence, however during the filming of 2001's Bully, he was arrested for public nudity and drunkenness. Fitzpatrick, who never wanted to be an actor before Kids, played a young HIV-positive drug addict named Johnny Weeks on The Wire.
