In TUNER, Leo Woodall stars as a gifted young piano tuner whose heightened sense of hearing draws the attention of criminals, who see his talents as useful for opening safes as for tuning Steinways.
With his once-promising musical career over, he works across New York with his mentor Harry Horowitz (Academy Award-winner Dustin Hoffman), encountering a range of characters, including composition student Ruthie (Havana Rose Liu), with whom he forges an unexpected connection. Niki’s safecracking work threatens his budding romance with Ruthie and pulls him into increasingly dangerous territory.
Best known for his roles in season two of The White Lotus and Bridget Jones: Mad About A Boy, Woodall most recently had a supporting role in James Vanderbilt’s film Nuremberg and starred alongside Rachel Weisz in the Netflix limited series Vladimir.
