Carroll was born in Weedon Bec, Northamptonshire, to William and Catherine Carroll. His Roman Catholic parents named him after the then current pope Leo XIII.

In the 1901 Census for West Ham, London, his occupation is listed as "wine trade clerk". In the 1911... census, he is living at the same address and described as a "dramatic agent". Carroll made his stage debut in 1912. His acting career was on hold during World War I, when he served in the British Army. He then performed in London and on Broadway.
