Actor in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States

Hi,
My name is Tony Slade. I was born in a little town called Wellington, KS. My parents were gypsies at heart so we stayed there less then a year before moving to Illinois and several other places before we finally landed in CA where I grew up. I started acting, as most kids do, in kindergarten and then continued through Groter Elementary and then into high school at Colton Christian School. It was here that I really caught the acting bug and I was in every musical, play, and choral co... Morencert that I could get into, whether it was as stage crew or on stage.

I then continued in my parents footsteps and became a gypsy myself. I joined the U.S. Coast Guard where I lived in 4 different states. I conducted law enforcement and search and rescue missions. During my time in the Coast Guard I received a Presidential Letter of Achievement from Bill Clinton, The Coast Guard Achievement Medal, and the DOT Award for Outstanding Achievement medal for the saving of 23 people off a sunken fishing vessel.
I also received the Humanitarian Service Award for the massive effort that resulted in the saving of over 80,000 Haitian men, women and children.

While in the Coast Guard I was stationed in Lexington Park, MD where I also volunteered with the local rescue squad as an EMT and IV tech. While there, I received EMT of the year, Rookie of the year, and Squad person of the Month several times.

I exited the Coast Guard and continued to work in law enforcement as a Patrolmen, Detective, and eventually Special Agent in 2 more states. All the while I continued to act every chance I got.

I eventually was transferred to Coos Bay, OR where I went back to my high school ways of being involved with every aspect of the theater. I had something to do with almost every stage show. I was involved in acting, stage crew, makeup artist, stage manager, director, co-director, lights, sound, promotions, advertising, board member, and many other roles. I also landed roles in short films, feature films and just recently my first music video.

I have recently moved to Philadelphia, PA and am working in the whole DE/PA/MD/NY/NJ/DC/VA area. I am willing to travel and I will work extremely hard for you once I am there. I have an ongoing blog of my life at www.myspace.com/lookin2bcast so please feel free to read that and add me to your friends list as well. You can also view my entire resume at www.tony-slade.com

Thanks so much for reading this and please take the time to write me at my email or in my blog.
