Tom Massey plays the rotund, ineffectual Sir Walter Elliot with vaudevillian aplomb. City Hub
Roles such as Desmond Curry are delightfully nuanced and given great care by the performer, in this case Tom Massey. Lisa Thatcher
Tom Massey is an efficacious antihero, as Norwegian rival for the unholy grail, Roald Amundsen. Loud, proud, built like an ox with a mentality to match. Australian Stage
Tom first set foot on stage age 5 in an open air school production and hasn’t stopped acting since! Coming up through school plays and musicals, on to productions at Sydney Uni with SUDS, and now for over 25 years multiple performances with many Sydney independent and community theatre companies. He has acted in over thirty stage productions in his career. He has also appeared in a number of short films and TVCs!
Tom leads with his heart in his acting keeping it relatable with the beautiful reality of human awkwardness, delivering solid work that feels lived in rather than performed.
