Anthony is a voice-over actor with an impressive list of credits to his career, including on-air promos, movie trailers, and TV commercials in both English and Spanish. Anthony has written and is currently working on a TV pilot inspired by his own life experiences of growing up in the headstone business, but with a supernatural twist, called “Mike Tomb.” He hopes to have it adapted into a serialized and motion comic book.
His break-through role came as the “Latin Lover Narrator” on Jane the Virgin which earned him two, consecutive primetime Emmy nominations in 2015 and 2016 for “Outstanding Narrator.”
