Tom Archdeacon Began his acting career at the suggestion of the police officer who arrested him in a bar fight. The officer said, "You look like an actor... Why not you put your energy into that instead?" and so, he did. Tom took to acting right away and trained formally in Europe, where he worked on stage before moving to New York. In NYC, Tom quickly won acclaim in Off Broadway Theatre and Television Soap Operas. With that momentum, the Irish actor made his way to Los Angeles where he began booking guest roles on TV. To make ends meet in LA, Tom also worked as a bouncer at a bar on Ventura Blvd where he became quite infamous as the "Wyatt Earp" of the Valley. Although Tom did not have any connections to show business, he turns out to be related to James J Braddock, the famous World Heavyweight Boxing Champion played by Russel Crowe in the Ron Howard film, Cinderella Man. In addition to working regularly in episodic TV, Tom is currently Writing, Producing and Directing independent feature films where he has earned multiple awards and nominations.
