Tom Waite is a Florida native whose world changed when, as a kid, the James Bond thriller Moonraker (1979) shot in his backyard. Actually it was the river he lived on in Port St Lucie, Fl. While watching the filming, he knew what he wanted to do. From his first play in the 6th grade, he pursued acting all through school, graduating college with a BS in Theater Arts. He auditioned for a theater company right out of college and performed over 500 shows in 22 countries, including performances at the World's Fair and the '92 Olympics in Barcelona. He got his SAG card on national commercials for the Daytona 500, Chevy and Office Depot. In Los Angeles, he booked roles on Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997), Alias (2001), (for directors J.J. Abrams and Ken Olin), Chuck (2007), _American Horror Story_ and Castle (2009). Some of his films include: The Amazing Spider-Man (2012), The Ride Along (2009) and Tokarev (2014).
