About
Iain De Caestecker anchored Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as Leopold Fitz, the brilliant S.C.I.E.N.C.E. agent and emotional core of Marvel's spy ensemble. Born in Scotland on 29 December 1987, he built a career in British television and film before the MCU role defined his public profile. His Capricorn persistence shows in his range: Adam Barlow in Coronation Street, unsettling indie horror (In Fear, Lost River), and wartime sci-fi (Overlord).

Biography
Iain De Caestecker is a Scottish actor born 29 December 1987. He is best known for portraying Leopold Fitz in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (2013–2020), the tech-genius character who became the show's emotional anchor across eight seasons. Before that breakout, he appeared on Coronation Street as Adam Barlow (2001–2003), a role that established him in British TV. His film work spans arthouse horror—In Fear (2013), Lost River (2014)—to major studio productions like Overlord (2018), where he played a World War II soldier caught in supernatural combat. He also appeared in Shell (2012) and Not Another Happy Ending (2013). As an actor, De Caestecker specializes in playing intelligent, emotionally complex characters who often find themselves in high-stakes situations. Born under Capricorn, he channels that sign's patient, methodical approach to craft—his Fitz character required both technical credibility and genuine vulnerability across multiple story arcs. His career reflects the working patterns of contemporary British screen actors: regional television roots, independent film exploration, and eventual elevation through genre tentpole work.
