Tony Tambi is a U.S. based actor and filmmaker. After spending the first seven years of his life in Nigeria and the next fourteen in Cameroon, he moved to Minnesota in 1999 to further his education. Four years later, he arrived in Los Angeles with the goal of pursuing an acting career.
In his second year in LA, he received an NAACP Theatre Award Nomination for playing the character Monday in Richard Bean's The God Botherers. Other plays followed including the critically-acclaimed world premiere of Butterflies of Uganda. His first TV credit was a co-starring role on The Unit, followed by other appearances on Scrubs, Nip Tuck and NCIS Los Angeles.
After various starring and supporting roles in numerous films, he wrote, directed, produced and starred in the short film CHAPTER ONE. It was awarded an Award of Merit from Best Shorts Competition, and went on to play at various festivals nationwide, culminating in multiple airings on PBS-KCVR, as part of its Shorts Showcase Festival. His feature screenwriting debut; LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT was one of the eight projects selected to join Forest Whitaker's JuntoBox Films Inaugural Feature Film Incubator Program.
One of my personal goals as a filmmaker is to bring more stories of the 'African-born American" to the public consciousness. We all see the African stories about child soldiers, famine, war, disease sometimes sports, but rarely do we see Africans depicted as 3-dimensional, cool or intelligent. Consequences offers a different perspective from what we normally see and hopefully sheds some light on ways to protect ourselves from the many shady characters out there.
Most people have either heard about or received solicitations from scammers like the Yahoo Boys, so as characters they are familiar and intriguing, but never fully explored in any media. We have an opportunity to change that with a smart, entertaining and thought-provoking web series.
