TOMAS Markussen's Modeling Jobs, Acting Auditions and Additional Experience

About Me: Am of half Norwegian half Russian origin,very outgoing,energetic and an engaging young up an coming actor. I am that type of guy that are very confident in what i do and in how i perform,but I do believe that confidence goes hand in hand with arrogance,so i never see my self better than others in that way,but try to respect people for who they are,and instead always seek out to better myself in my daily tasks,and specially in my acting art. I've always since I was little loved being in front of people,or big crowds performing. When i was five years old,i started with Kung-fu and Wushu,and have trained everyday ever since until today twenty six years later. All those years i have travelled all over the world,targeting the best masters in different countries,like France,Germany,Czheck Republic,US and Hong Kong,and my grand master,is no other that one of a few that actually have thought legendary Kung-Fu masters and film stars such as Jet Li,Jackie Chan to mention a couple. This led me to exploring my inner dream of performing,and that is how i started with acting when i was sixteen years old. With my background from being a martial art professional,a fight choreographer,stuntman and free runner for fifteen years in Paris,France,i have become the versitile and action hitting actor i am today,having lead roles,supprting roles,extra,in feature films,short films and music videos,and independent work,in countries like Norway,UK,France,Czhech Republic and US! As an actor I se my self as experienced but are always trying to increase my knowledge,stay strong but remain humble !! As a character I am definitely a young James Bond,Hugh Jackman type,..crazy,wild,spontaneous and aggressively impulsive and outgoing for my bad guy roles,and with my past background and long experience as a security officer,military training and employment with personal protection,I have that mystery,attitude, to be that mean bad ass,ass kicking cop,the ex military coming back into town or that furious husband that are fighting crime and druglords to get his wife back. I have that sensitivity and good heart to me,like that sweet,charming guy next door,the coach at the high school football team,or that funny,innocent guy that simply falls in love aka Ryan Reynolds in "The Proposal".
