“ It’s a challenge always,” he said. “I do not want to appear like I am like some other actor -- so I work hard to make the characters I’m auditioning for ones no one has seen before.” I have to thank my Hollywood acting teachers, Kris Kyer and Helen Anzalone for helping me understand and experience what a young actor goes through to do a successful audition.”

“Right now,” Thomas said, “I am ready for a big part in a big movie and I cannot wait to get on the set and learn more. You just have to learn to be persistent and have patience in this business, which I tell myself.”
