Looking
Back:
|
 |
Tony
was born in the town of Wellingborough (England) from Italian
parents (father from town of Agnone, province of Isernia and
mother from town of S. Piero Patti in Sicily). They moved
to Canada (Montreal) when Tony was about 1 year old. Tony
was always a performer - subjecting family and friends to
basement performances (puppet shows, short plays, and accordion
music). From the basements Tony hit the stage in his teens
performing in various school bands, rock bands, wedding bands
and acting in various plays with lead/principal roles. In
his late teens, the family moved to Toronto, where Tony completed
his studies. |
|
Tony
decided to temporarily put this performing career on hold
to focus on other things, but was never too far away from
the stage or the microphone; he continued to host/MC various
functions and variety shows as well as promoting corporate
events.
But
now he is back with more conviction than ever. In 2004 studied
with: acting coach/actress Julia Paton (on-camera technique,
focusing on: announcer, show host, news anchor, commercials);
sportscaster Tim Haffey (radio technique, focusing on: announcer,
news anchor, commercial), and recording artist/vocal coach
Nicole LeGault.
In
his quest to get back into performing and ultimately hit
the big screen in 2005, Tony was introduced to acting coach and
casting director Juli-Ann Kay (focusing on film and television:
preparing for the audition, character establishment, scene
establishment, etc); film director Izidore visited one of
the workshops and commented on Tony’s range.
Tony’s journey led him to a photo shoot with photographer
Richard Sibbald and stylist Paul Langill.
This
is only the beginning ... …
