Leonardo "Leo" du Pres is a fictional character from the American ABC Daytime soap opera All My Children. The role was portrayed by actor Josh Duhamel from November 22, 1999, to the character's death onscreen on October 17, 2002. Duhamel reprised his role on December 24, 2003, and for two episodes in August 2011.
Duhamel won a Daytime Emmy for Best Supporting Actor in 2002 for the role. His portrayal of the character, and the effect it had on viewers, was cited in a TV Guide interview as causing mania, an extension being Leo's death, as viewers could not grasp such a fate for their beloved con artist.[1] On June 6, 2011, Entertainment Weekly reported that Duhamel would return in August to reprise his role as Leo du Pres in a dream of Greenlee Smythe's.
