Tom trained at RADA and has been involved in a vast array of projects such as:

- Film: My Bloody Galentine

- Clusterf*ck - Web Series

Short Films - Number 11 and Digging

Animations - Kill Clause and Video Game - By Grit Alone

As well as on stage where he understudied a number of parts in "The Shark is Broken", a dramatisation of what happened behind the scenes on the set of Jaws at the Ambassador's Theatre. Including A Little Life, covering Jude St Francis (James Norton) and Willem (Luke Thompson) at the Harold Pinter and Savoy Theatre in London.

Tom talks his experience of preparing for multiple roles and being on alert for anyone falling ill so he could step in and cover. Talking about how understudies rehearse at the same time as the main case in different rooms, liaising with the main director and cast. Working together to make sure that if anyone can't perform one night, there is always someone there to cover.

Furthermore, we discuss how important understudies are, how you should prepare for these kind of jobs and how vital they are to a production.
