WITWI Leonardo Litton

Where in the world is Leonardo Litton [real name: Joel Francis Villar]? Leonardo Litton was one of the better-looking strip-for-pay actors [along with Rodel Velayo] in the era of the sexy flicks in Philippine cinema. He was discovered at the 1998 male pageant Ginoong Pilipinas, which was eventually won by his arch-rival then, Harold Pineda [Harold represented Nueva Ecija province, while Leonardo carried nearby Cabanatuan City]. After being signed by Seiko Films, he was in almost every movie churned out by the company. His most memorable films were Talong or Eggplant [where he showed his talong, natch!] and Burlesk King [where he also went full monty in a dance sequence]. When the sexy-movies period ended, Leonardo Litton also disappeared from the limelight. He was last spotted by a NY-based friend at Perlas ng Silangan, a Filipino resto along Roosevelt Avenue in Woodside. Apparently, he is now based in the Big Apple.
