Tommy Hestmark, a Portland, Oregon native, discovered his passion for acting as a teenager but initially pursued a career in the mortgage industry, which he began in 1995 and continues today as a dedicated mortgage broker. In 1999, Tommy ventured into the music industry, founding a record label and producing two groups-Jacob Merlin and Kant B Caught-with one group sharing the stage with Snoop Dogg and Three 6 Mafia. In 2011, Tommy's love for acting was reignited after working as an extra on TNT's Leverage. A heartfelt conversation with his mother, who was battling terminal cancer, became the turning point in his acting journey. She encouraged him to chase his dream, leading Tommy to immerse himself in acting classes-dedicating up to 20 hours a week to the craft. Through these classes, he met his agent, Dennis Troutman, which launched his professional acting career. Since then, Tommy has appeared in major films, television shows, regional commercials, and billboard campaigns across the Pacific Northwest. Tommy continues to pursue acting with unwavering passion, honoring his mother's legacy and determination to make her proud.
