Tom has been acting since he was 8 years old, making his stage debut as the Cat in Chicken Little. He has always loved performing, but didn't become serious about acting until he spent a summer at the Yale Conservatory for Actors. Studying extensively under industry leaders taught him that a life in the arts is not only possible but, with enough elbow grease, practical.

 

This led him to train at NYU Tisch Drama in the Stella Adler Studio, following notable alumni such as Robert De Niro, Marlon Brando, and Elaine Stritch. His recent work there has been playing Leontes, the jealous king in The Winter's Tale (one of Shakespeare's lesser-known and best works), and playing Constantin Heger, the unrequited love to Charlotte Brontë in the world premiere of Charlotte's Letters.

​

Under some of the best teachers on the East Coast, Tom has thrived as a versatile actor and holds his head up high for a lengthy career of work that made him believe in magic.
