Tony Fordham is a British based actor born and raised in London. His
love of acting started at a young age but growing up where he did there
was a stigma attached to the acting industry and because of this his
dream of pursuing a career in acting was delayed until later on in
life. Tony, upon leaving school fell into Market Trading in the heart
of London, buying and selling anything he could get his hands on! Some
would say a loveable rogue! From here he went into the construction
industry and then on to be a doorman for many years. Tony enjoyed
boxing whilst growing up and moved on to become a competitive body
builder. His interests in these sports led him on to specialise in Kung
Fu which is where he discovered a passion for Martial Arts. Tony
continues to train in Martial Arts today and following his knowledge of
this and boxing, has gone on to become a fight choreographer. When Tony
moved to Canada it was his close friend and Actor, Tina Sterling, who
encouraged him and gave him the drive to pursue his dream of a career
in acting. He was fortunate enough to be cast in a few cameo roles
whilst there, before returning to the UK. Upon returning to the UK Tony
threw himself into the acting industry and landed a variety of roles,
including lead Actor in Prison Food (Sony Pictures). Acting has also
taken him to Germany, Amsterdam and most recently Los Angeles where he
was lucky to be cast in LA Paranormal. Tony is looking forward to up
and coming projects in 2011 where he will be filming scenes alongside
Vincent Reagan (300) in Sure Fire Hit. He has also been cast in
Superman Requiem and Welcome to Purgatory. In 2009 tony was lead Actor
in Edios which won Best Film in the Swale Festival. Tony currently
trains at the Actors Centre in London and whilst in Los Angeles
attended Ivana Chubbuck classes.
