Tony started his acting career late in life. He was introduced to acting on the stage at Florida Southern College in Lakeland Florida. His first production he did was on a dare, a classic, Arsenic and Old Lace. He played a policeman in the play and loved every minute of it. He spent the next 20 years building a successful medical supply business. This afforded him the opportunity to look back at his love for acting and decided this is what he wanted to do.
