Thomas Ellenson

Thomas Ellenson was born in New York City, where he launched his acting career. His first breakthrough came when his one-man show, 'It Is What It Is,' received First Prize at the 2017 One Festival in New York City. The show's success led to a triumphant five-night run at the Flamboyan Theater, where Thomas captivated audiences with his undeniable talent and authenticity and realized that acting would be at the center of his life. Subsequently, he embarked on a transformative one-year program under the guidance of Eric Paeper at The Barrow Group, honing his craft and passion for performance.Navigating the entertainment industry with a power wheelchair and communicating with an iPad due to his cerebral palsy, Thomas's resilience and determination shine through in every role he embodies. He has taken on diverse roles in theater, movies, and television, always challenging perceptions and inspiring others with his remarkable talent and presence. You're wondering how this is going to work, right? Don't worry - I'm used to it. The fact is, I'm just another actor with great technique. But mine includes using a power wheelchair to navigate stages and sets, and an iPad for my voice (think Stephen Hawking). Oh, one more thing. I absolutely never forget my lines.
