For his latest screen appearance, film actor Leonard Waldner portrays an unorthodox detective who is drawn into the mysterious disappearance of the young girl Mia, played by emerging starlet Laura Aiden. The Investigation of a Time Traveler, directed by John Martini, dives into the unstable world of a homeless schizophrenic—a former physician who claims to have invented a time machine, and whose spouse is nowhere to be found. The film will be available on Amazon beginning December 30, 2014.
Leonard Waldner’s portrayal of the central investigator deftly shifts from steely to impassioned as the ever-more incredible details of the case unfold. This is a choice role for Waldner, whose growing list of film and television credits can be attributed to his leading man looks and compelling screen presence. With personal charm and intuitive craft, he delivers an unforgettable performance that drives the film to its unexpected conclusion.
Leonard Waldner was cast based on powerful previous performances in Clear Lake (2012), Night Travellers (2008), and his recent work with Anthony Michael Hall in Something About Her (2015). His next project, Blue Weekend, is scheduled for released in 2016, and stars Waldner along with C. Thomas Howell and Olivia D’Abo.
Currently being distributed digitally nation-wide, The Investigation of a Time Traveler is a break-out directorial debut from John Martini, who also wrote the screenplay.
About The Author
Editor-in-Chief/Entertainment Reporter
I knew early on that I wanted to take my place among the stars. One day, my mother saw me reading The Washington Post at a very young age. Who would have known that it would be the building blocks of my journey? Since that day, I dedicated my life to learn all that is learnable. I read everything from encyclopedias, to books, to dictionaries, to magazines. I’m also an avid consumer of television, with my favorite genre being game shows. If you’ve seen me on Who Wants to be a Millionaire or Wheel of Fortune, then you know that this interest has served me well!
My unique style of reporting began back in junior high school, when I started to chronicle the events that shaped my life. Whether it was the annual family vacation or the local science fiction convention, I shot numerous pictures and recorded my thoughts so I could truly appreciate the history. During my senior year at Friendly High, I wrote what was to be my first masterpiece, “Advanced Space Academy – A One Week Journey.” I sent the eleven-page article back to the U.S. Space Camp staff. The article was highly praised for being “one of the best written articles in the history of U.S. Space Camp.” From then on, I knew what I wanted to do for rest of my life — to be a reporter.
Since then, I have trained in Broadcast Journalism at Bowie State University (2008) in Bowie, MD earning a B.S. in Communications. I gained experience in news production and editing through field experiences with Bowie Community Media Corporation, Prince George’s Community Television, and Bowie State University Television. I also wrote scripts for a variety of quiz shows for over five years.
As a lifelong movie buff, I now see close to 100 films every year. I took this love of movies to the next step when I became a co-host for Eclipse Magazine TV in the fall of 2005. While at EMTV, I interviewed celebrities, worked red carpets, and attended a wide variety of movie screenings. In January 2009, I took a leap of faith and started my own entertainment news magazine, The Rogers Revue. Shortly afterward, my life-long journey of studying the silver screen and writing about what I learned finally earned me a place in the Washington Area Film Critics Association.
All of this has led me here, giving you the latest entertainment news for the DMV and the entire nation, and I am truly excited for whatever will come next.
