Genres I work in
I am drawn to bold, character-driven stories that challenge both the actor and the director. I thrive in roles that provoke emotion, tension, and connection—leaving a lasting impact beyond the screen.
Preferred genres include
- Comedy
- Horror
- Thriller
- Commercials
I seek roles that challenge, entertain, and leave the audience gasping or smiling after the credits roll.

The Actor Who Buried His Gift But Dug Himself Out
About Thom
I am a versatile European actor who possesses a strong presence and a passion for storytelling. After working on high-profile commercials, I now focus on feature films and TV series. Trained in scene study (LA), character work, and performance technique, I combine raw talent with intensive self-development. I’m here to shape realities through acting—a storyteller-shapeshifter driven by creativity and character development.

- Cast as featured extra in Thunderbolts (Marvel Studios)
- Selected for featured role in The Sinners (Independent Feature)
Due to international COVID-related production shifts (Guardians of the Galaxy) and overlapping filming schedules (Thunderbolts and The Sinners), I was unable to appear on screen. However, each casting reflected industry interest in my unique presence and ability to embody stylized and character-heavy roles.
