The Punisher

Tom Nowicki
Tom Nowicki 1920 1080 Alyshia Ochse

Tom was born in Detroit and raised in Florida, where his tenth-grade English teacher changed his life by offering extra-credit to anyone who auditioned for the school production of “The Crucible.” He earned a Bachelors degree from Yale University and later trained at Ensemble Studio Theatre in NYC and the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.

Tom has over 160 credits on IMDB, including Reptile with Benecio Del Toro, The Glorias with Alicia Vikander, THE BLINDSIDE with Sandra Bullock, and a major role in the new streaming series Bad Monkey from Bill Lawrence and Apple TV.

Early in his career, Tom spent several thrilling years as “Lord Larry Oliver, Evil Genius of the South,” the baddest bad-guy in the Dixie Wrestling Alliance. This work paved the way to his favorite role, Kenneth Loge III, “The Most Hated Man in Sports,” the commissioner of the World Skating League on ROLLER JAM, an apocalyptic revival of roller derby than ran for 144 episodes from 1997 through 2001. Tom also played his triplet brothers Lenny and Benny, as well as their mother Druscilla, for the largely-improved show which can still be seen on late-nite cable in odd parts of the world.

Tom and his partner Kristina run HipDog Canine Hydrotherapy, a small organization that does swim-therapy for injured and disabled dogs.

QUOTES:

“If you’re not happy and things aren’t working for you, you have to change something no matter how small.”

“The first thing I usually think about [preparing for an audition] is to look at the exact opposite of whatever is written… seeing the opposite helps to highlight what’s sitting on the surface.”

“The only reason you’ll ever really get cast in something is because you’re you… because of what you felt in the moment or what’s going on with you that managed to shine through the cloud.”
