Next on the impressive list of talent joining the cast of To Avenge is Tom Schmitt, who will be playing Jason Danvers, a rather unsavory character to say the least. Again, while I was unfamiliar with his work, Julie Stackhouse mentioned him a couple of times in her interview since they had worked together on more than one occasion. Additionally, Nick Belial, the director/writer of To Avenge had worked with Tom as well, thus adding much credibility to Tom's professional persona before we even had our initial conversation. Thankfully, Tom exceeded the glowing reports I had heard, and chatting with this young man was a joy and a delight as he shared his journey in the world of entertainment with a special emphasis on his significant and upcoming roles.
RH: Tom, I'm so glad we were able to make connection today.
TS: Me too, Ruth. Thank you for reaching out.
How did you get started in acting?
I got started in acting probably when I was in high school. I helped out with one of the local "haunted" attractions during the Halloween season. I think I was fifteen or sixteen at the time. It was pretty much just…show more content… Like every project, you have a chance to practice new things that you've learned as an actor and about the craft. While I hate watching myself on screen, I always go back and watch some of my stuff before I start a new project to see if I feel like I've made any breakthroughs. It's an evolution of things and it's nice to remember that I experimented with some new technique or something, and it's great to see that it turned out all right. With a big project like this, there's so many opportunities. Lots of time, you get a part and you're on set for one day. But when you have more time and you get the chance to live your character out, you know it's gonna be a good opportunity to try to experiment with the new things and the new techniques which I've been learning in class. I'm very eager to get on
