Anthony was born in New York City and began his career at the tender age of five, playing the role of Kirk Douglas' godson in the film "The Brotherhood". He made his Broadway debut at the age of six, dancing and singing in the show "Zorba". Since then, he has performed on Broadway, international and regional stages, as well as in film and television, sharing the stage with a diverse range of celebrities, including Angela Lansbury, Tom Hanks, Dustin Hoffman, Harold Prince, Jerome Robbins, Pete Townshend, Jennifer Lopez, John Guare, Kander & Ebb, F. Murray Abraham, Marisa Tomei, Stephen Schwartz, and Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Anthony's impressive educational background includes studying filmmaking at the School of Visual Arts in New York and UCLA, music composition at the Manhattan School of Music, and receiving a business degree from SMC. His drama education is equally impressive, with training from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, American Academy of Dramatic Arts, HB Studios, the Groundlings, BANG Sanford Meisner, Bill Esper, John Kirby, and Joseph Pearlman. He has also studied dance with the legendary Phil Black in New York and various teachers at The Edge in Los Angeles, and voice with Ed Dixon, David Craig, and Carol Weiss.
With over 50 years of performing experience under his belt, Anthony is not only an accomplished performer but also a talented behind-the-scenes professional. In 1990, he founded Etc.Inc, a non-profit organization that presented new American theatre in Rome, Italy's Fellini Repertory Theatre. As a producer with D.I.Y.N. Productions, he completed four short films that won awards on PBS and the festival circuit. He also created The Space, a multi-media arts complex in Hollywood, and received an LA TV Critics Award for Best Actor.
Anthony has also explored his creative side as a musician, playing and writing pop music with two bands, "Interpret" and "Ariel & Anthony". He has since turned his composition skills towards the stage, composing scores for the musicals "Murder at the Palace" and "Powder Puff Derby", and is currently in development with NMI.
Throughout his extensive career, Anthony has worked extensively throughout Europe, Asia, Australia, and the US, covering all 50 states. He is also passionate about cultures and food, and was co-founder of Thats A Nice!, a specialty southern Italian gourmet food line, which won a SOFI Silver Award and a Bronze Medal at the World-Wide Mustard Competition.
Anthony continues to act, dance, and sing on TV, stage, and film, always ready for the next project. He is currently writing an auto-biographical musical, a comedy web-series, and a bio-pic of the late Sal Mineo.
