‘One Day’ Star Leo Woodall on Tackling Dexter’s Emotions and the Pressures of Stepping Into a Leading Role After ‘The White Lotus’


Leo Woodall flew from Italy to London during the second season of 'The White Lotus' to audition for 'One Day.'

He flew from Sicily to London for the auditions and had to tweak his accent to go from Jack’s, his bad boy character in “The White Lotus,” to Dexter’s: working specifically on “throwing my t’s back into my speech.” Not only was Woodall tasked with taking on a beloved book, but this also marked his first time in a leading role, as his past characters — he appeared in “Vampire Academy” and “Citadel” recently — have been supporting parts. In the penultimate episode — after the longtime friends finally make their way back to each other in a romantic way, and begin their lives together — Emma is killed in a car accident.
