Tommy is so excited to be part of the amazing and talented family of Gray Talent Group! Born and raised in Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico, Tommy is thrilled to be making his professional theater debut in the great city of Chicago. He was recently seen in Theo Ubique's production of CATS where he played the role of the bad boy "Rum Tum Tugger", where a reviewer noted that "his smoldering attitude could ignite any cat into heat!". This production, choreographed and directed by Jeff Award winning Choreographer and Director Brenda Didier, was a big hit in the Musical Theater world in the city, running for 4 straight months of crazy dancing! His other Chicago credit was the Chicago premier (after opened on Broadway) of the musical AIDA by the new Bailiwick Chicago where he was a Dancer/Ensemble Member. Before coming to college in Naperville, Illinois, Tommy was deeply involved in the Puerto Rican dance world where he danced and choreographed for his own competition dance team and taught in multiple dance studios. He was also given the opportunity to be part of the movie Havana Nights: Dirty Dancing where he was just an adorable Student/Extra. It was here he was introduced into the film world. This Summer he will be graduating from North Central College in Naperville, Illinois, with a degree in Musical Theater and a Dance Minor. Here he has been part of plenty of Main Stage shows including Pippin (Leading Player), CATS (Mr. Mistoffelees), Romeo and Juliet (Balthasar), and was given the opportunity to choreograph The Wedding Singer. Tommy can't wait to go out to the real world and hopefully become an up and coming actor in such an outstanding city like Chicago!
