Thomas Forbes-Johnson was born in the quaint town of Reading, Berkshire, England, and raised in the vibrant city of London, Thomas embarked on a journey that would take him from the historic streets of England to the bustling avenues of Los Angeles, California. Educated at Kenmal Technology School for Boys, where he honed his athletic prowess in rugby and boxing, Thomas nurtured a deep-seated passion for movies, music, poetry, and reading from a young age. This passion propelled him towards the performing arts, a dream that remained undeterred even after facing setbacks, such as not being accepted into the Brit Academy of Performing Arts.
Pursuing theater design and stage management at Lewisham College in London, Thomas got his first taste of America's electrifying culture during a summer break, working at a camp in New York. This experience left an indelible mark, fueling his ambition to forge a career in the heart of the entertainment world. His educational journey continued in England, where he completed his A-Levels at Lancaster and Morecambe College and embarked on a physiotherapy degree at Manchester Metropolitan University. However, the sudden passing of his grandmother in 2007 became a pivotal moment, prompting Thomas to seize the day. Selling everything, he moved to Los Angeles, driven by the mantra that "life is short."
Navigating the competitive landscape of Hollywood with no contacts but endless determination, Thomas immersed himself in acting classes, stunt training, and the relentless pursuit of opportunities. His persistence paid off when he was discovered in a Brazilian jiu-jitsu gym by producers and stunt coordinators who recognized his talent. This breakthrough led to his first movie role, doubling for Dave Bautista in "House of the Rising Sun."
Over the years, Thomas has built an impressive résumé as a stunt performer and actor, working alongside industry luminaries. His notable role as Julian in "Lost City" alongside Brad Pitt, Sandra Bullock, Daniel Radcliffe, and Channing Tatum marked a significant milestone in his career, eventually leading to representation by A3 Artist Agency. Today, Thomas is a testament to resilience and passion, continuously pushing boundaries and aspiring to new heights in the film industry.
Living in Los Angeles, the city that once seemed a distant dream, Thomas is inspired daily by the creative minds he collaborates with and the joy of bringing stories to life on the big screen. With a career that spans over a decade and a future bright with promise, Thomas eagerly anticipates the next chapters of his remarkable journey in the world of cinema.
