Anthony's journey into acting began later in life, allowing him to draw upon a wealth of knowledge and experience. Prior to his acting career, he spent six years working as a qualified chef in exclusive restaurants around the world.
Following his return to Ireland, Anthony found himself talking his way into a job selling furniture at a funeral. However, it was at his father's uncle's funeral that he discovered a connection to the late David Kelly, which sparked a conversation that ultimately led him to pursue a career in acting.
Anthony then enrolled in a three-year Diploma in Performance for Screen and Theatre at Liberties College in Dublin, where he honed his skills through Advanced and Masterclass courses in film acting under the guidance of Vinny Murphy and Terry McMahon.
His early roles included smaller parts in feature films such as "Veronica Guerin" and "About Adam," as well as leading roles in short films like "Tango in D Minor" and "Interrogation Room." He has also appeared in TV docu-dramas, including "Death or Canada" and "On God's Mission," and has worked with award-winning directors Terry McMahon and Steven Daly.
Anthony cites the feature film "Charlie Cassanova" as one of his most important projects to date, and has since collaborated with McMahon again on the award-winning feature "Patrick's Day," released in 2014. He has also appeared in the award-winning features "The Late Men" and "Unfold," as well as the feature film "Cold," directed by Eoin Macken and starring Tom Hopper and Jack O'Connell.
In addition to his film work, Anthony has had a long-running role in the popular Irish soap opera "Fair City," where he played the character Collie, earning him recognition and being stopped in the streets of Dublin and asked if he is as bad as his character.
Anthony's future projects include the feature films "The Wake" and "The Legend of Harry and Ambrose," set to shoot in September.
