Tom Titbits Quotes and Trivia

Tom was involved in drama in his home town of Maidstone, Kent, since the age of four and spent his school years writing and directing plays. He studied English Literature and Drama at Birmingham University, graduating in 2002 with first class honours, and set up a small theatre company before deciding to go to drama school. He started the three year Professional Acting Course at LAMDA the same year, completing his studies in 2005. Even though it has meant he spent six years as a student, he believes his current success has proved it worthwhile, and he now fully utilises his academic skills as an actor and writer.

Tom's ultimate aim in his profession is just to do work that he can take pride in; that he would want to show to his friends; that he would seek out if he were not in it and that his heroes would enjoy. He acknowledges that it is not an easy path to follow but is encouraged to stick to it as best he can, whilst still trying not to take himself too seriously.

Tom's work ethic in 5 words: Do good work. Enjoy it
