Law & Order Season 25 introduces Jessica Brady's youngest son Leo

Nbc reports Season 25 of Law & Order introduced Lieutenant Jessica Brady’s youngest son, Leo Brady, in Episode 10 ("Dream On"), with the role played by Alex Neustaedter. Viewers had met Brady’s elder son Ryan in Season 24, when he said Leo had been sober for two months and had a show on the calendar; Brady declined to attend and later left a voicemail asking to reconnect.

In Season 25 the 2-7 investigated the murder of musician Zina Worth, who was Leo’s girlfriend. Detectives Vincent Riley (Reid Scott) and Theo Walker (David Ajala) uncovered a large stash of cocaine in the apartment, and Leo said he had not known about the drugs because Zina hid them.

The defense highlighted Leo’s tense relationship with Zina and placed him on the suspect list; Leo testified at trial and, with his testimony, the precinct secured a guilty conviction. Neustaedter’s credits include Ithaca (2015), guest appearances on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and The Dead Diaries, films Walking Out, American Woman and Josie & Jack, the drama series American Rust: Broken Justice, and recent roles in It Ends With Us (2024) and The Running Man (2025).
