Thomas Gunter was born in Phoenix, Arizona. His interest in acting began during his senior year in high school, however, being from a small school in Central Arizona, his exposure to the Arts was fairly limited. During a week-long tour of the nation's Capitol, he stumbled upon the Ford's Theater where he saw a musical called "The Hot Macado." The musical opened up his eyes to the world of the performing arts. After completing his military service, Thomas trained to become a Journeyman Transmission Lineman in San Diego. In '09, he began modeling and shortly thereafter was cast in a short promotional film for Lupe Fuentes, which marked a reunion with his long suppressed passion for the art of acting. Soon after he enrolled into Playhouse West to receive formal training. Thomas has been working steadily to better his skills and become a top contender in the entertainment industry.
