About Loungin' With Tony:    So this should be the easy part.  I get to talk about myself...LOL but it's one of the hardest things for me to do so I'll keep it brief.   I always knew I wanted to pursue a career in the entertainment industry since the age of 5. I use to perform for family members any chance I could get. I grew up all over the U.S. and Europe before settling in Columbia, SC where I've lived for most of my life. I attended college at Winthrop University in Rock Hill, SC and graduated with a Bachelor's of Arts Degree in Mass Communications (Broadcasting) and a Minor in Theatre.   Throughout those years I was lucky enough to have made many appearances in various TV, Film and Theatre productions.    Now living in Los Angeles, CA I continue to pursue a career as an actor/host.    Tony joins Take 2 Radio on Monday, Nov. 4th at 7pm eastern time!
