Biography

Tom, a native of Massachusetts, hails from a boisterous Boston Irish upbringing that has instilled in him the ability to think on his feet and effortlessly transform into various characters. His Boston accent, which he may jokingly claim to have skipped school to avoid, can suddenly disappear as quickly as an apple fell for Isaac Newton. Despite being an art school dropout, Tom's burning passion for acting led him to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.

Initially, Tom started as a stand-in for Brendan Fraser, taking on extra work and bit parts before joining an Off-Broadway theater company in New York City. His first-ever theatrical production was The Boys in the Band, where he was thrust into the lead role of Michael just one week before opening night due to an actor's medical emergency. With zero stage experience, Tom faced a daunting challenge, but his director and mentor, Wally Strauss, praised his performance, urging him to "never stop learning."

Tom's move to Hollywood led to guest appearances on television shows, followed by leading roles in a string of independent films. He eventually began producing and starring in his own features, all while working on sets as an art department member to make ends meet. Throughout his career, Tom has emphasized the importance of believing in the story being told, as this is essential for convincing the audience.

In an ever-evolving entertainment industry, Tom believes his greatest story is yet to be told, leaving audiences eagerly anticipating what's to come from this talented individual.
