With decades of experience performing for audiences around the world, Anthony has built a reputation as a versatile artist known for his authenticity, intensity, and ability to connect with audiences across multiple mediums. Beginning his career as a professional wrestler and recording artist, Anthony developed the discipline, presence, and improvisational skills required to command live audiences. His pro wrestling career took him across the United States, Japan, Mexico, and beyond, where he competed for numerous promotions and shared the ring with some of the most recognizable names in professional wrestling. The physicality, unpredictability, and character-driven nature of professional wrestling became a foundation for his approach to acting, allowing him to bring realism, emotional depth, and a powerful presence to his performances. As a recording artist and music producer under the name One Man Kru, Anthony has established himself as a respected figure in independent hip-hop. His work as a producer earned chart-topping success through his contributions to the multi-platinum rap group Insane Clown Posse, further cementing his reputation as an innovative creative force. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with a diverse roster of acclaimed artists, demonstrating his versatility as a performer, songwriter, and musician. Anthony’s latest full-length solo album, Overthrowing The Underground (2025), further highlights his range as an entertainer. In addition to writing, producing, and performing the music, he wrote and performed thirteen original dark comedy skits, portraying a wide variety of distinct characters through voice acting. The project showcases not only his abilities as a rapper and music producer, but also his talent for character creation, comedic writing, and vocal performance—skills that naturally complement his work as an actor across film, television, and the stage. Anthony’s acting credits include appearances in feature films such as Yoren Uta Wa Ichi-Jin No Kaze Ni (2014), Unspoken: Diary of an Assassin (2017), and Off Ramp (2024). He also appeased extra in Season 5 episode 15 of Hawaii Five O (2014) early in his acting journey. He made his theatrical debut portraying Clifford Anderson in Ira Levin’s acclaimed stage thriller Deathtrap, bringing a layered combination of intensity, vulnerability, and determination to the role. He continued his stage work as Jamie in Sean Grennan’s heartfelt comedy-drama Now and Then, further demonstrating his range as a performer. Now And Then was selected for Ohio Community Theatre Association's West Regional Showcase at OCTAFest 2026, where Anthony and his fellow cast members won an award for Excellence In Ensemble. Additionally, Anthony is a 32° Scottish Rite Freemason, a Knight Templar in the York Rite, and a Shriner. Combining his passion for performance with his Masonic involvement, he has portrayed the role of Hiram Abiff in his Blue Lodge’s presentation of the traditional allegorical drama surrounding the building of King Solomon’s Temple—a central ceremony in Freemasonry that draws upon biblical symbolism and ritual storytelling. Anthony has also appeared in reality television, documentary projects and other media platforms, bringing his unique personality and life experiences to audiences beyond scripted performance. His television and documentary appearances include American Juggalo, MGK: Life In Pink, The Jerry Springer Show, WWE Tough Enough, Why Did You Come To Japan?, Show Me The Money 6, Beyond The Lens: The Life And Death Of Bruiser TV and Big Law: Deputy Butterbean as well as several national television, pay-per-view and promotional appearances (press conferences, TV talk shows, radio shows, in person signings, meet and greets, podcasts, newspapers, magazines, etc.) for various professional wrestling promotions throughout the world. These experiences have strengthened his ability to perform authentically on camera, adapt in unpredictable environments, and connect with audiences through compelling real-life storytelling. Known for his commitment to character and ability to draw from real-world experiences, Anthony approaches every role with honesty and emotional investment. Whether portraying a troubled outsider, a hardened survivor, a commanding presence, or a character navigating personal conflict, he brings a unique perspective shaped by decades of performing in high-pressure environments. Anthony continues to expand his career across music, film, television, and theater, bringing the resilience, discipline, and storytelling instincts developed through decades in entertainment. His journey as a performer, musician, wrestler, music producer, and television personality gives him a rare perspective on storytelling from every side of the entertainment industry.

Frederick
Ohio

I grew up farming and landscaping, so I’m comfortable operating tractors, heavy equipment, trucks, and working outdoors in all kinds of conditions. I’m experienced with firearms, have a strong work ethic built from hands-on labor, and have played baseball for many years, allowing me to naturally portray athletic and sports-related roles. I bring versatility to every role. I can play the easygoing, approachable guy just as naturally as the quiet, serious type. I also have a spontaneous sense of humor and can deliver unexpected, off-the-wall moments when the scene calls for it. On the other end of the spectrum, I have the size, presence, and demeanor to convincingly portray intimidating or tough characters who command attention without saying much. My real-life experience allows me to authentically portray farmers, ranchers, outdoorsmen, blue-collar workers, law enforcement, military, hunters, and athletes. I’m dependable, adaptable, take direction well, and am committed to bringing authenticity, grit, humor, or intensity to every role.
