Leisure was born in San Diego and attended Grossmont High School in El Cajon, California.
Among his smaller roles, Leisure appeared as the "First Krishna" in the 1980 film Airplane! More recently, falling back on his "Joe Isuzu" schtick, Leisure has been acting as a fictional and disreputable insurance lawyer in a series of commercials for various American personal-injury law firms. In different markets, different firms have licensed the footage and add in their own spokespeople and names.
