It was a fuel that burned full-throttle, ignited by the power and passion of his performance.

Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, an erratic childhood propelled James to the stage. Never quite being able to establish roots in one place, James formed a close friendship with his father and found refuge in the theatre. His father's love of Doo Wop music and everything 1950's was passed along to James. An accomplished singer, James opened for acts as varied as Tim McGraw, The Temptations and childhood hero and Doo Wop legend Bobby Vee. Combining his love for theatre and music, James was once recognized as one of the top Elvis Presley impersonators in the nation.
Always looking to the legends of the past to predict his future, James followed the sage advice of George Burns who said "I'd rather be a failure at something I love than a success at something I hate" and decided to pursue his true passion: comedy. James risked it all by leaving Keene, New Hampshire, the one place that finally felt like home. Upon arriving in Hollywood James immediately enrolled in classes at the renowned Second City Training Center and found a job at the World Famous Comedy Store. It took little time for James to make his presence felt on the Hollywood comedy circuit. Movies and television quickly followed his stage success. - Producer

He worked on 3 features in Pittsburgh as a Production Assistant over the course of seven months. He then returned to the New England area due to lack of film industry work in Pittsburgh. It was at this time that he decided to attend "The International Film and Television Workshops" in Rockport, ME, and did so, during the summer season of 1997.

With these changes taking place in his industry Tony has started training, in the field the next generation of young second assistant camera folks.

Tony has continues to hone his craft with learning all of the new camera platforms that are in the field, when he isn't working. As skill will have it he doesn't get very much time off, which we all know is a blessing and a curse.
Over the length of his career has had a special love of all things SteadiCam and has done a large amount of work as "The SteadiCam Assistant" which is an art form all to itself! More jobs on that amazing platform come every year.
