A dynamic talent from Waterford in Ireland he has the type of vision, determination, and drive which has resulted in him being asked to work at creative events on Broadway and beyond. He was recently the lead in Writing Home, an Irish feature film currently touring festivals worldwide.

Tony has several artistic interests and skills and is currently prepping his brand new radio comedy series “Busy Tonight?”, a ten-part series to be funded by the Broadcast Authority of Ireland. His YouTube series "The Hurler" is being adapted and turned into a feature film.
