We are not nouns, we are verbs. I am not a thing – an actor, a writer… I am a person who does things – I write, I act – and I never know what I’m going to do next. I think you can be imprisoned if you think of yourself as a noun.

Thomas Cardwell, a genuine International Man of Mystery, moved to America in 2010 and became an American citizen in 2017. Some say he is a published poet and his photograph appears in the New Oxford Complete Works of Shakespeare; Those people would be correct. Some say he once ran away to join the Circus; Those people would be mistaken.
However, at sixteen, he did join a touring show, and has ridden a unicycle, performed as an aerialist, and eaten fire in front of paying audiences… then, he graduated from Drama School. Two decades working as a freelance creative professional taught him how to write about himself in the third person for added gravitas. For six years he was the Artistic Director of EclecticPond Theatre Company.
During the Pandemic, Thomas completed a Front End Web Dev Techdegree, and he currently works as a Web and Graphic Designer.
