We just got word that the second celebrity from Kickstarter is the fantastic Tony Amendola! It’s difficult to imagine that Tony’s simple dream 28 years ago to “work as an actor” would take him to Mexico, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, England, Bulgaria, Canada, across the United States and even to the stage of the new Disney Concert Hall. Born in New Haven Connecticut into a blue-collar family, Tony was the first member of his family to attend college. Hoping to expand his craft and career, Tony moved to Los Angeles to seek work in film and television. His film work as been varied and rewarding, including appearances opposite Johnny Depp in Ted Demme’s Blow, Anthony Hopkins and Antonio Banderas in Martin Campbell’s The Mask of Zorro, Chris Cooper in John Sayles’s Lone Star. His TV guest star roles include “West Wing”, multiple episodes on “The Practice”, “Judging Amy”, “Robbery Homicide Division”, “X-Files”, and a long running role on “Stargate SG-1” as Master Bra-Tac (a Jaffa Obi-Wan). More recently has landed supporting roles on “Once Upon a Time” and “Continuum”. Tony has four films awaiting release, including Dragon Slayer opposite John Rhys Davis, Club Dread with Bill Paxton, Shade with Gabriel Byrne and Sylvester Stallone, and a wonderful part as a blind sorcerer in Forbidden Warrior directed by Jimmy Nickerson.
