Tommy Hestmark, a native of Portland, Oregon, discovered his passion for acting during his teenage years, although he initially embarked on a career in the mortgage industry in 1995, a path he still pursues today as a dedicated mortgage broker.
In 1999, Tommy ventured into the music industry, founding a record label and producing two groups, Jacob Merlin and Kant B Caught, with one group having the opportunity to share the stage with renowned artists Snoop Dogg and Three 6 Mafia.
In 2011, Tommy's love for acting was rekindled after working as an extra on TNT's Leverage, a television series. A heartfelt conversation with his mother, who was battling terminal cancer, served as a pivotal moment in his acting journey. She encouraged him to chase his dream, inspiring Tommy to immerse himself in acting classes, dedicating up to 20 hours a week to the craft.
Through these classes, he met his agent, Dennis Troutman, which marked the beginning of his professional acting career.
Since then, Tommy has appeared in major films, television shows, regional commercials, and billboard campaigns across the Pacific Northwest. With unwavering passion, Tommy continues to pursue acting, honoring his mother's legacy and his determination to make her proud.
